“…In prosthodontics, the maxillary central incisor holds the key in creating a highly esthetic frontal profile of the individual, and therefore, appropriate selection of the tooth is of extreme significance in the restoration of the anterior segment of teeth in completely or partially edentulous patients.

Introduction:Bite-mark analysis has proven its advantage as an important forensic tool in the past but also has a few limitations to it. To enhance its utility in forensic odontology in this study we have coupled it with Berry's Index (BI) which is an index used to select anterior teeth in prosthetic practice.Aims and Objectives:This study was attempted to analyze the applicability of BI in identifying an individual.Materials and Methods:This study was directed among 300 individuals with ages ranging between 19 and 30 years. The study conducted at Institute of Dental Studies and Technology College, Kadrabad, Modinagar, Ghaziabad. Out of the total population studied, 149 were males and 151 were females. The analysis of the data obtained was done using SPSS version 19.Results:The results in our study indicated that the widths of both maxillary central incisors and the bizygomatic width were found to be higher in females when compared to males. A positive correlation was observed between both the widths of upper central incisors and the bizygomatic width.Conclusion:BI could be successfully used as an adjuvant to bite analysis and could be an aid in determining the facial proportions of an individual from the width of the central incisors. This could further be correlated with the forensic facial reconstruction.

“…Several anatomic measurements, including bizygomatic width (BZW), interpupillary distance (IPD), interalar width (IAW), innercanthal distance (ICD), and intercommissural width have been suggested to aid in the estimation of a combined width of the maxillary anterior teeth (intercanine width [ICW]).

Statement of Problem:Selection of proper sized maxillary anterior teeth is one of the difficult clinical steps in complete denture esthetics. Several studies have been reported to establish methods of estimating the combined width of maxillary anterior teeth.Purpose:The aim of this study was to determine whether a relationship exists between the innercanthal distance (ICD) and interalar width (IAW) with the combined width of maxillary anterior teeth.Material and Methods:The maxillary anterior teeth of 600 adult subjects were examined. ICD was measured between the median angles of the palpebral fissure. IAW was measured between the ala of the nose at their widest point. The mean combined width of the maxillary anterior teeth was determined intraorally at their widest dimension. Pearson's correlation coefficients were calculated to determine the relationship between ICD, IAW and the combined width of maxillary anterior teeth (α =0.05).Results:Although the Pearson correlation coefficients were relatively small, a significant relationship existed between innercanthal dimension and IAW (P < 0001).Conclusion:Within the limitations of this study, the results suggest that ICD and IAW cannot be used as a preliminary method for determining the width of the maxillary anterior teeth for edentulous patients.

Background: This study was done to evaluate the importance of applying Berry's index in bite mark analysis.With that, it is able to highlight the usefulness of Berry's index in aiding the analysis of bite mark of an individual. Methods:The study was conducted among 60 students between the ages of 18-30 from Saveetha Dental College, Chennai. The data that was obtained was then tabulated and statistically analyzed. Conclusion:The results of the study revealed that the widths of both maxillary central incisors and the bizygomatic width were higher in males when compared to females. A positive correlation can be found in males compared to females in regard to both of the widths obtained. Berry's index is a useful tool of high forensic value and can be used to help in the identification of an individual's facial proportions based on the calculated width of the central incisors. Thus, it can be of correlation to that of forensic facial reconstruction.
