Evaluation of
arch width variations among different skeletal patterns in South Indian population.
To our knowledge this paper is one of the first studies that shows a correlation between the comparison of bizygomatic and bigonial
arch widths and some socioemotional aspects and personality traits.
A longitudinal study of dental
arch width at the deciduous second molars on children 4 to 8 years of age.
Arch width: The maxillary
arch width was significantly less in the affected group compared with healthy controls in all dimensions, P values were less than 0.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the respiratory pattern in children in the mixed dentition by means of acoustic rhinometry and its relation to the upper
arch width development.
6], [7] Presumably, the reduction in the posterior
arch width was due to the loss of anchorage.

Arch width has been a subject of interest among investigators; studying the growth of dental arches.
The premolar
arch width was taken from the first premolar of the left side to the right side at the distal end of its occlusal groove.
It is generally accepted that an important relationship exists between the
arch width and vertical facial morphology.
The results showed that the difference in
arch width was statistically significant along all points of measurement between crowding and non-crowding group in both the genders with the crowding group having smaller arch dimensions in both the genders.
Assessment of
arch width and arch depth is one of the most important diagnostic criteria for a maloc- clusion.
Conclusion: In class III malocclusion, almost all the dental
arch width measurements in maxilla were smaller and mandibular dental
arch width measurements were lager as compared to normal class I normal occlusion.
