Section: Research Paper
Abstract
This study was carried out on a random sample of (50) upper stone dental caste for intermediate school student (25 males and 25 females) aged (12-15) years from different areas of Mosul city. The correlation between the dental arch width, depth and circumference was calculated. It was found that male maxillary dental arch is greater in all dimensions than the female one. There was a weak correlation between the dental arch widths and the corresponding palatal vault depths. The correlation was moderate between the maxillary arch circumference and widths except at intercanine distance width, which it showed a high correlation and it was a weak between the arch circumference and the palatal vault depths.
