Comparative Evaluation of Mesiodistal Width of Six Maxillary Anterior Teeth in J&K Population
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 7
Abstract
Introduction: Teeth selection is an important aspect which is mostly governed by the age and personality of the individual with little or no respect to gender and positioning. Even manufacturers prepare the mold for artificial teeth keeping in mind the arch size and shades. Since teeth selection is multifactorial in nature, replacement of missing teeth cannot be fulfilled by a single size, shape, or shade of artificial teeth. Aim: The aim of the study is to evaluate the mesiodistal width of maxillary six anterior teeth in J&K region based on the sex of the patient. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on 100 students comprising of 50 males and 50 females. Alginate impressions were made of maxillary arches using manufacturer’s recommendations, and impressions were poured in Type III dental stone. Casts were recovered, and measurements were done using Vernier caliper for individual tooth. Thread was used to measure mesiodistal width of three teeth on both right and left sides and entire mesiodistal width of 6 teeth. Results: The mean values of six individual teeth on both left and right sides, mean mesiodistal values of combined three teeth on the right and left, and combined mesiodistal width of six anterior teeth were measured and statistically analyzed. The mean difference in combined mesiodistal width of three anterior teeth in the right side and left side for males and females was found to be 0.4 mm. Conclusion: Males have more mesiodistal width than females in J&K population. The right side maxillary anterior teeth have more mesiodistal width than the left side. Clinical Implication: Manufacturers as well as dentists should consider sex along with particular position while designing prosthesis to achieve more lifelike prosthesis.
