Also to detect the sex difference in themesiodistal axial angulations of such teeth.The sample consisted of 33 young Iraqi adult students,17 males and 16 females aged 20–23 years old who were havingClass I normal occlusion. Postero–anterior cephalographwas taken for each subject and was traced to determine themesiodistal axial angulation of upper and lower permanentanterior teeth.The results revealed that the mean values of mesiodistalaxial teeth angulations in both sexes showed very limited variation.No significant bilateral differences were found for rightand left sides for both jaws (for males, females and totalsample).From the above results, it could be concluded that no significantbilateral differences in mesiodistal axial tooth angulationswere found for both jaws, for total sample and for bothsexes. Also, male–female comparison showed no significantdifference in mesiodistal axial teeth angulations and for bothjaws.
