Background
Ethnic background had been claimed to affect arch form. The purpose of this study was to describe the maxillary and mandibular arch forms in Jordanian population and to develop a classification of these forms which could be used to construct orthodontic archwires accordingly.
Methods
The sample comprised the study casts of five hundred and twenty subjects (231 males and 289 females with mean age 15.4 ± 1.02 years). All subjects had permanent dentition with normal occlusion. A mathematical method associated with a polynomial function of 6th degree was used to evaluate the dental arch forms. The resulting arch forms were organized into 5 groups for both the maxilla and the mandible utilizing computer software with special code designed for this study. Each group was subdivided into 3 subgroups: small, medium, and large sizes.
Results
Catenary arch form was found in 47% and 41.2% (P˂0.01) in maxilla and mandible, respectively. Form 2 (between half ellipse and U-shaped arch form) was found in 27.7% and 26.7%. Medium size arch form was found in 55.4% in the maxilla and 65.6% in the mandible.
Conclusions
Catenary arch form was the most common arch form, followed by wide elliptical form. The other forms; tudor arch, tapered equilateral and quadroangular forms were less frequent. With respect to size, the medium size was the most common one in the studied sample.
