“…Berry (1905), House and Loop (1939) found the width of the maxillary central incisor as 1/16 of the facial width, measured between the zigomatic bone. Cesario and Latta (1984) and Latta et.al. (1991) published that the mid-pupillary distance was supposed to be the width of the maxillary central incisor multiplied by the factor of 6.6.…”

“…As far back as 1914, Williams observed a possible relationship between the shapes of the face and tooth, 12 and although some authors have confirmed the existence of some relationship between certain anatomic details of the face and the tooth, 13,21 this evidence has remained weak for strictly correlating the shape of a maxillary central incisor to a point of reference of the face. 10 In the present study, it was observed that the association between the shapes of the face and maxillary central incisor was shown to be significant (Table 1).…”

“…The proportion between the dental and facial distances was obtained by a variation of the methods of Cesário and Latta, 13 Lavelle, 20 La Vere et al 21 , which found mean intervals ranging from 1/18 to 1/16. In this study, an interval of variation for the mesio-distal width was considered, based on the studies of Mavroskoufis and Ritchie, 15 who observed a variation in 63% of the maxillary central incisors of individuals, and this variation in width could be up to 1 mm.…”

“…McNemar's test was applied to assess the association between: a. pleasant smiles / pleasant faces and agreement between the shapes of the face and teeth; b. pleasant faces and dental and bizygomatic proportions (1:7.5 to 1:8.5). 13,20,21 Pearson's correlation was used to assess the relationship between the width of the tooth and the bizygomatic width. The Chi-square and Fisher's Exact tests were used to assess the association between gender and the study variables.…”

“…10,11 In 1914, Williams 12 suggested that there is a relationship between the shape of the face and the shape of the teeth. 13 However, Sellen et al 14 mentioned that there is not necessarily any relationship between the shapes of the face and teeth, and other aspects that compose an esthetic analysis must be considered in order to establish the final shape of the teeth to be restored. 15 Moreover, it is considered that women should have rounded, smooth teeth with delicate angles (small and ovoid), and men should have square teeth with angled shapes.…”

Study of the morpho-dimensional relationship between the maxillary central incisors and the face Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of agreement between the shape of the maxillary central incisor (MCI) and that of the face; verify which is the most pleasing MCI shape for the two genders; whether there is coincidence in the preference for tooth shape; and measure the most pleasant proportion of tooth and facial width for the esthetics of the smile. One hundred patients were selected from among front view photographs of the face and smile. The photographs were evaluated to determine the shape of the face and the type of dental contour, the pleasant appearance of the set consisting of the teeth and facial features. The widths of the MCIs and the face were measured and the proportional values were associated with the evaluators' opinions with regard to the pleasant appearance of the set of facial features. There was a significant association between the shape of the face and the MCI (Bowker's test, p = 0.0015). There is a relationship between the shape of the MCI and the shape of the face, with a greater prevalence of the oval shape of the teeth and face; it was not possible to associate the pleasant appearance of the shape of teeth with gender; there was no agreement on the pleasant appearance of the shape of teeth in the photographs of the patient smiling and in the images of the smile; and there was no relationship between the pleasant appearance of the face and the dentofacial proportion and bizygomatic width.
