Introduction:The aim of this study was to evaluate the distances between the mandibular permanent teeth and the alveolar process in Himachali population with normal occlusion. Materials and methods:Fifty mandibular casts from untreated subjects of Himachal population were selected who had permanent dentition. A computer program was used to calculate the distances between the dental reference points and the alveolar process for each tooth. The mean values were then compared to the normal values by applying the Student t-test at a significance level of 0.05. Results:The results showed a progressive increase of these distances from the anterior region (incisors) to the posterior region (molars), from 0.00 to 2.46 mm. Conclusion:Himachali population with normal occlusion have more lingual crown positions for the incisors, premolars and molars compared with Americans with normal occlusion.
