This study was done to determine the relationship between interalar width and inter commissural width on circumferential arc width of maxillary anterior teeth in dentulous subjects between the age groups of 20-50 years. The study involved 300 subjects, in whom measurements were made from the distal aspect of each maxillary canine, across the facial surfaces of the six anterior teeth, using brass wire and a Vernier calliper. Interalar and inter commissural width were recorded after placing two points and measured with a Vernier calliper. Results were statistically analyzed using unpaired t test, Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Pearson's correlation coefficient test. This study confirmed the reliability of interalar width to determine the circumferential arc width which can be used as a reference in edentulous patients.
