Table 1. Validity and reliability of measurements made on intraoral photographs of the dental arches compared to those made on plaster models (examiner A).

* P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, and *** P < 0.001. ICC: intraclass correlation coefficient; SD: standard deviation; TSALD: tooth size-arch length discrepancy; LII: Little's Irregularity Index; BBL: basal bone length; STS: sum of teeth sizes.
