Purpose: This study was carried out to determine the relationship between the width of maxillary central incisor and interpupillary distance. Materials and Methods: A total of 100 subjects-50 male and 50 female individuals in the age group 18-26 years were selected based on predetermined selection criteria. Standardized facial frontal photographs of all the subjects were taken using a SLR camer...

Background: Determining gender is one of the most important parameters in forensic identification. Teeth are an excellent material in living and nonliving populations for anthropological, genetic, odontologic and forensic investigations being hardest and chemically the most stable tissue in the body, selectively preserved and fossilized, thereby providing the best records for evolutionary chang...

BACKGROUND Selecting and replacing missing teeth to natural proportions and esthetic preference of a patient in the absence of pre-extraction records is a very challenging task. Although facial analysis and proportions are well discussed in many populations, none exists for the Thrissur, Kerala, population. A prosthodontic rehabilitation for Kerala patients relying on other racial norms may res...

The main purpose of this work was to analyze the stress distribution in premolars restored with indirect IPS Empress® CAD onlays or inlays. three-dimensional geometry a human first premolar created using modeling software. tooth fixation system simulated through box geometry, comprising cortical bone layer 2 mm thickness over trabecular 15 thickness. had following approximated crown dimensions:...

T ooth-width ratios are used diagnostically to quantify the harmony between the mandibu-lar and maxillary arches. A number of analyses have been developed to compare the tooth-width ratios of malocclusions to standardized norms. 1-4 The Ho-Freer Graphical Analysis of Tooth-Width Discrepancy (GATWD) provides a simple graphic description of tooth-width relationships between the arches, a comprehe...

The objective of the present study was to determine the correlation between the interalar width and the combined mesiodistal width of maxillary six-anterior teeth in Pakistani population. It was a cross sectional study and was carried out from May 2011 to November 2011. A total of 159 dentate subjects fulfilling the inclusion criteria were selected from the department of Prosthodontics, Lahore ...

AIM To analyze the interrelationship between incisor width, deviations in the dentition and available space in the dental arch in palatally and labially located maxillary ectopic canine cases. MATERIALS AND METHODS Size: On dental casts from 69 patients (mean age 13 years 6 months) the mesiodistal widths of each premolar, canine and incisor were measured and compared with normal standards. De...

BACKGROUND The present study was undertaken to evaluate the accuracy of methods proposed by Tanaka and Johnston, Moyers, and Bernabé and Flores-Mir to forecast the mesiodistal dimensions of permanent canine and premolars in a North Indian population. METHODS Mesiodistal tooth dimensions were measured from study models representing 68 male and 68 female subjects (aged 12-16 years) of North Ind...
