Interrelationships between the width, depth, and perimeter of the dental arch.
Recently, beta function has been shown to be an accurate mathematical model of the human dental arch. In this article a beta function-based nomograph is presented that shows interrelationships between arch width, arch depth, and arch perimeter. This nomograph can be especially useful in predicting the effect of orthognathic surgery on these 3 variables of a dental arch.
