Objective: This study aimed to compare the dental arch dimensions in wind and non‑wind instrument players (WIP and non‑WIP). Methods: This was a cross‑sectional study which compared a group of 50 male subjects aged 18–45 years that had been playing wind instruments for a minimum of 2 years with a control group matched for age in the same environment. The arch dimensions were assessed for both groups by measuring their dental casts using a digital caliper. Data was analyzed using statistical Software Package for Social Sciences (SPSS Inc, Chicago, IL) version 17. Statistical significance level was set at P < 0.05. Results: The mean number of years of playing wind instrument among the WIP was 9.26 ± 6.21 years. All the maxillary arch dimensions were larger in the WIP group except for the palatal depth while the mandibular arch parameters in the non‑WIP group were larger than the WIP group except the mandibular arch length. The differences were not statistically significant (P > 0.05). The mean maxillary inter‑canine width (37.48 ± 1.12 mm), inter‑molar width (57.27 ± 1.99 mm), arch length (29.80 ± 2.2.09 mm), and palatal depth (22.21 ± 2.33 mm) for class B instrument (Saxophone and clarinet) players were larger than either the class A instrument (Trumpet and trombone) players or the non‑WIP group. These differences were not statistically significant (P > 0.05). Conclusions: Playing a wind instrument as well as the type of instrument played, duration, and frequency of play did not significantly affect dental arch dimensions 2024-06-13T12:11:13Z 2024-06-13T12:11:13Z 2020 Article Adeyemi, T.
