Correlation between Mesiodistal width of Maxillary Anterior Teeth and Interhamular Notch Distance amongst Dakshin Kannada Population
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
Introduction: Selection of maxillary anterior teeth for edentulous patients is primarily a subjective approach as there is no universally accepted method which can be used reliably in the absence of pre-extraction records. The aim of this in-vivo study was to find relationship between mesio-distal width of six maxillary anterior teeth and inter-hamular notch distance. Material and methods: One hundred maxillary dentulous impressions were made (19 to 23 years old) using stock tray and irreversible hydrocolloid impression material. Mesio-distal width of the six maxillary anterior teeth and inter-hamular notch distance were measured using digital caliper on stone casts by two independent observers. Data so obtained was analyzed using SPSS-16 data analysis software and was analyzed using sing Karl Pearson correlation test, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and p-value of less than or equal to 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: Pearson correlation coefficient was r = -0.037, and hence, showed poor correlation (p = 0.713) between the mesiodistal width of six maxillary anterior teeth and the inter-hamular notch distance. Conclusion: No correlation was found between the total mesiodistal width of maxillary six anterior teeth and the inter-hamular notch distance among the Dakshina Kannada population.
