Cephalometrics as an aid in positioning of anterior teeth during complete denture fabrication- A pilot study
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Positioning of anterior teeth plays a crucial role in the esthetic outcome of complete dentures. A sense of dentofacial harmony is the main objective of teeth selection and proper teeth positioning for aesthetically pleasing end results. To determine whether cephalometrics acts as an aid in positioning of anterior teeth in complete denture fabrication. The inclinations of maxillary anterior teeth in sagital plane were correlated with three parameters i.e., Distance between skeletal convexity at Point A to N-Pog line, H-line angle and Nasal prominence. Participants in the age range of 18-25years were selected based on the predetermined inclusion criteria. Cephalometrics tracings were done, landmarks marked on the tracings and planes constructed. The readings obtained were subjected to statistical analysis using Pearson’s correlation test. Weak negative correlation between the distance between skeletal convexity at Point A to N-Pog line and H-Line angle, as well as distance between skeletal convexity at Point A to N-Pog line and Nasal prominence were observed. It can be concluded from the present study that positioning of anterior teeth based solely on cephalometrics is not completely valid. Keywords:Cephalometrics, Dento-facial harmony, Esthetics
