Study of Facial Biometric Measurements on Indian Population for Selection of Maxillary Anterior Teeth
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
The selection of appropriate size and shape of maxillary anterior teeth can be difficult when pre-extraction records are not available, as there is no universally accepted method that can be used reliably. The purpose of this study analyzed the clinical crown dimensions of maxillary anterior teeth to determine whether consistent relationships exist between tooth width and several facial measurements in a subset of the Indian population.160 Indian dentate subjects were used to measure both facial and dental parameters. Intercanthal, interalar, inter commissure distance and width of six maxillary anteriors was directly measured using digital vernier caliper. Paired t-test and pearson correlation tests were performed to statistically analyze the data.Significant co-relations were found between all the facial parameters and combined mesio-distal width of six maxillary anterior teeth (P>0.01). another analysis by paired t-test showed that among all facial parameters used in this study, intercanthal distance was not significantly affected by age and gender parameters(P>0.05). Among all facial parameters, intercanthal distance can be used as a more accurate guide for selection of maxillary anterior teeth for prosthesis fabrication because it does not vary significantly with the gender and the age.
