Cette étude porte sur un échantillon de quatre-vingt-neuf moulages mandibulaires provenant de cinquante patients Noirs Africains et de trente neuf Blancs Européens édentés totaux. La comparaison des données obtenues à partir de la mesure de la distance intertrigone et de la longueur de l'arcade montre une différence statistiquement significative entre les deux races avec des valeurs plus élevées chez le Noir Africain. De ce fait, la confection de porte-empreintes de série selon les particularités métriques du sujet Africain permettrait de faciliter son appareillage par la prothèse complète.
African blacks and European whites total edentulous mandible arch comparative study The current 89 samples comparative study shows that the mandible arch is different statistically in Blacks and Whites populations. African Blacks mandible dimensions are superior considering both inter retromolar tubercles measurements and the arch length. Therefore, the impression trays manufacturing should be reconsidered for Blacks prosthetic rehabilitation.
