- This study was designed to get the knowledge of the structual characteristics of the lingual dental arch shaper of Koreans. The subjects consisted of 107 nirmal occulsions. The lingual structure which was divided into two groups, anterior and posterior part, was measured and analyzed. 22 pairs of the 107 samples were usde to test the derived results. The findings of this study were as follows;
1. The mathmatical functions of the we curces which showed good fitting to the upper and lower anterior lingual arch were derived and drawed to the same acale using the computer graphics.
