| Abstract | ||
| Aims of the study: to assess the crowns' mesiodistal angulation in angle class I canines and molars relationship; provide normative data for tipping values of Iraqi populations. Materials and Methods: 240 maxillary and mandibular dental casts of young people (18-24 years) with normal class I occlusion was used to assess mesiodistal tooth angulation. Data was examined and for each measurement, the mean and standard deviation were determined. At a significant level of (p≤0.05), the paired t-test, independent t-test and student t-test were utilized for the comparison. Results: There were no significant differences between the right and left quadrants of the studied study sample related to the tooth mesiodistal angulation results for the adult population of Iraq. The Iraqi mesiodistal angulation data were merged because there was generally no significant variation between the male and female samples. However, there were significant differences between the combined Iraqi data and the published data when they were compared. Conclusion: Comparing the crown mesiodistal angulations data of Iraqi population to North American, Italian, African, Japanese, Indian, and Saudi data revealed statistically significant differences. We concluded that however offering bracket recommendations, ethnic differences should be taken in consideration. | ||
