Journal Title: IJSR-International Journal Of Scientific Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 5
Abstract
AIM: A study was performed to examine the correlation between maxillary central incisor tooth form to face form and finger nail forms of both males and females, in an south Indian population. Method: Two hundred dental students of Indian origin comprising 100 males and 100 females studying at GITAM Dental College were randomly selected as the study subjects. A standardized photographic procedure was used to obtain images of the face, maxillary central incisors and finger nails. eir Outline forms were determined using an AUTO CAD software and are used to correlate the similarity between them using visual method. e means were considered after the evaluation by 4 prosthodontists and results were tabulated. Results and Conclusion: Statistical analysis was performed using the chi-squared test for association. A correlation greater than 50% was observed between tooth form and face form by the visual method. Similarly the correlation between finger nail forms and tooth forms is less than 50% shows no significant results. In correlation between length of lower 1/3rd of the face with length of the five fingers, among females a significant correlation is established with ring and little fingers, with a close significance towards little finger.
