Analysis of the correlation between some antropometric parametars of the face and the teeth in reconstructive removable prosthodontics

The aim of this study was to find out the correspondence of the width of upper incisors(WUI)or the width between the tips of upper canines (WTC), or the width between distoaproximal surfaces of upper canines (WDaC) with the width of the wings of the nose (WAN) and to calculate the ratio between the...

description The aim of this study was to find out the correspondence of the width of upper incisors(WUI)or the width between the tips of upper canines (WTC), or the width between distoaproximal surfaces of upper canines (WDaC) with the width of the wings of the nose (WAN) and to calculate the ratio between the measured variables, which could be helpful in clinical practise. For this purpose two thousand individuals in the age from 18 to 24 years, with intact frontal teeth were measured by a precise calliper. There were 920 males and 1,080 females.Based on the results the following conclusion was made: statistically, significant difference between males and females existed for all the measured variables (WAN, WUI, WTC and WDaC), i.e. males had bigger dimensions. There was no significant difference between genders for all the calculated ratios:WAN/WUI,WAN/WTC,andWDaC/WAN (p>0, 05). The width of the nose approximates to the width between the tips of the cusps of upper canines (1, 08:1). The other calculated ratios are: WAN/WUI= 1,206:1; and WDaC: WAN = 1,158:1 and these ratios together with the measured average values: WUI, WCT, WDaC in the examined population could be helpful for the choice of the proper size of upper frontal artificial teeth and for their setting in the wax of the denture.
