Background: Balance in physical proportions is one the most important criteria for ideal esthetics. Facial features play a vital role in esthetics. However there are various facial heights like upper facial height (UFH), middle facial height (MFH) and lower facial height (LFH). Aim: To access correlation between individual total body height (TBH) and various facial heights (UFH, MFH and LFH). O...

BACKGROUND Ideal dental restoration is one which not only restores optimal functions but also confirm to standard dental and facial relations. This is important to achieve long term patient satisfaction both with regard to esthetics as well as functions. Objective was to find a credible relationship between dental and facial proportions using height of individuals as the criteria in a specific ...
