| Summary: | Statement of problem: The aim of the study is to find the
reliability in measuring the distance between the anterior
attachment of the lingual frenum and the incisal edge of the
mandibular central incisor on casts to be used as a preextraction record.
Purpose: The objective of this study is to give a range of
numerical values from anterior attachment of lingual frenum to
mandibular central incisors in a class I ridge relation in south
Indian population, which may be used in establishing the vertical
dimension of the edentulous patient and also to locate the
mandibular incisors in teeth arrangement of complete denture
fabrication.
Materials and Methods: One hundred subjects (50 males
and 50 females) under the age group of 21-28y, with class I
dental relationship and who have never undergone orthodontic
treatment were selected. Two models were made for each
subject using irreversible hydrocolloid impression material and
type III gypsum product to obtain an average value for each
subject. The distance between the incisal edges of the lower
central incisor and the anterior attachment of the lingual frenum
is measured using a divider and digital vernier caliper.
Statistical Analysis: Mean and Standard deviation using
descriptive statistics tool using SPSS software version 18.
Result: The distance between the anterior attachment of the
lingual frenum and incisal edges of mandibular central incisors
among the 100 subjects was 14.50mm ± 2.2245 mm.
Conclusion: The value obtained aided in establishing the
vertical dimension easier by making a pre-determined height of
mandibular occlusal rim. |
