Applicability of Bolton‘s anterior and overall ratio on Jaipur population.

Dr. Zuber Ahamed Naqvi, Dr. Amit Gupta

Abstract :

Aim: Applicability of Bolton’s analysis on Jaipur population.

Material and Methods: The 270 subjects were the students, patients and their attendants who visited the Jaipur dental college and hospital. The width of teeth was measured on the dental stone casts using a digital caliper. The data were analyzed using Student’s t–test with level of significance p ˂0.05. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS for windows software (version 21).

Results: No significant difference was found in the overall ratio between Jaipur subjects and Bolton’s ratio (p˃ 0.05), whereas statistically significant differences were observed in anterior ratio (p˂ 0.05).

Conclusion: Bolton’s ratio did not serve as an adequate guideline for Jaipur population. Specific population and or ethnic characteristics should be considered to establish objectively quantifiable Bolton’s ratio.
