Abstract
Methods for dental arch assessment are many and diverse. Model photocopy method assessment has many advantages as simplicity and availability, ease of record keeping for long-term studies or feasibility of data digitalization and treatment for research and publishing. In a sample of 108 records both of study models and models photocopies different dental and dental arch measurements were made. By means of regular statistical methodology, model photocopy method assessment reliability was studied. Results show how measurements differences between study models and models photocopies are minimal. Model photocopy method assessment of dental arch can be a valid method for anatomic, anthropologic and orthodontic research. Also, study model photocopy can help data recording of treatment records to behove with legislation.
