To evaluate the correlation of curve of Spee with other dental variables and to determine sexual dimorphism in Western Uttar Pradesh population.
150 subjects (males-75; females-75) aged 18-24yrs. were selected. Study models of all the subjects were made and the following dental measurements were done: Curve of Spee (COS), Intercanine width (ICW), Intermolar width (IMW), Arch length (Arch Len.), Dental arch form. Data thus obtained were subjected to statistical analysis.
The results suggested that the curve of Spee is influenced by the dental variables but it is not affected by sexual dimorphism.
There is a significant correlation between mandibular curve of Spee and certain dental variables.
