Abstract
To compare the dental arch forms of Indian and Chinese subjects, 30 untreated Indian and 30 untreated Chinese adults with normal occlusion and symmetrical arches were examined. The arches were classified as narrow, wide, mid, pointed and flat, according to the method developed by Monique Raberin etal., from Lyon, France. For the sample examined the Chinese population was found to have significantly wider arches compared to the Indian population.
