ABSTRACT

Objective: The purpose the study was to establish normative data of the mesiodistal crown diameters in Mexican men and women with permanent dentition. Materials and method: The measures were taken in 99 dental casts of young people between 12.09 and 17.10 years old with the inclusion criteria: molar class I, slight crowding, without previous orthodontic treatment, complete permanent dentition, without morphologic alterations or extensive restorations, without loss of substance. The measurements were made according to the procedure of Hunter with a Vernier caliper of sharpened ends. It was determined the difference of the right and left side, sexual dimorphism, variability of the dental size, accumulated proportion by morphologic class and accumulated width. For the statistical analysis were used Student’ t-test, variance analysis, coefficient of variation and frequencies analysis. Results: The left teeth, were larger than those of the right side. The teeth of men were biger to those of women. In the pairs of teeth, the distal tooth showed greater variability of size; the greater difference of size was in upper incisives and the greater similarity in lower bicuspids.
