This study aimed to provide a description of the mesiodistal axial angulation of the
maxillary and mandibular teeth in cases of class I malocclusion.
The values of the mesiodistal axial angulation of the teeth were measured for 20
subjects (10 males and 10 females) from orthopantomograph using computer program
and comparisons were made between the right and left sides and between males and
females.
The mean values of the mesiodistal axial angulation of the teeth were higher in
males than in females, and higher on the right side in upper and lower arches than on
the left side for males, females and total sample, however; there was no statistically
significant difference between the groups. This study provided a good description of
the mesiodistal axial angulation of the maxillary and mandibular teeth in cases of
class I malocclusion.
