The dental arch form is of prime importance to the dentists. It is useful in orthodontic procedures for predicting succesfully treatment and knowing evolutionary changes in arch and their variation. Body mass index is defined as the ratio of weight to squared height, has been popularly used as a nutrision parameter and growth. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of body mass index to the maxilla arch height and width.
This experimental study was held in Orthodontic laboratory. Children were examined at age 8-14 years, standardized heights and weights were obtained to calculate body mass index. The maxilla arch height and width measurements used the first treatment cast (study model) with Raberin Technique. The measurements were made after noting certain reference points on the study models and measure by using calipers. Manova were used to assess the effect of body mass index to the maxilla arch height and width .
The maxilla arch height and width were significantly (p< 0.05) different in different body mass index and the measurements for maxilla arch height and width in normal weights was the greatest.
The findings suggest that body mass index has effect to the maxilla arch height and width.
