Abstract

In this study, the relationship of some dimensions of the palate and the dental arches, of 30 adults with open bite and 53 adults with normal occlusion was examined. Statistical analysis showed that in both sexes were found statistically significant differences exactly in the same measurements between the two groups. Statistically significant relationship was found between some dimensions of the dental arches in the group of adults with normal occlusion. This relationship was not found in the open bite group.
