Relationship of Inter-Condylar Distance With Inter-Dental Distance Of Maxillary Arch and Occlusal Vertical Dimension: A Clinical Anthropometric Study

The Evaluation of the Relationship Between Intercondylar and Intercanine Distances, Maxillary Central Incisor Width, and Various Facial Forms: A Comparative Study

“…The mean intercondylar distance in the present study correlates with the findings of Lazić et al [17]. However, the study findings by Keshvad et al [9] and Debnath et al [1] were lesser than that of the present study. The intercondylar distance found for square face was the highest, and the least was for tapering face form.…”

“…Studies on intercondylar and intercanine distances were done by Keshvad et al [9], Debnath et al [1], Lazić et al [17], Shaikh et al [10], Qamar et al [18], and Shrestha et al [19]. Keshvad et al reported that the ratio of intercanine distance to intercondylar distance was 1:3.39.…”

“…However, selecting and arranging teeth with natural and aesthetically pleasing form and function for edentulous patients are elusive and challenging endeavors. No universally acceptable method has been established to meet this end [1]. The maxillary central incisor was the most critical tooth in the anterior teeth selection process because it is the most noticeable tooth from the frontal aspect and serves as the best assertion of patient age.…”

Evaluation of the relationship between upper intercanine and inner canthal distances in selected patients

“…Various methods have been adopted for the ideal arrangement of teeth most of them reveals a dependence on the physical characteristics of the dento-facial landmarks such as Inter-alar width, Bi-zygomatic width and Facial heights. Beside these, Hamid and Mastooreh various intra oral landmarks like Incisive papilla and Inter-canine distance have also been taken into consideration for selection and arrangement of teeth (Debnath et al 2014). Also, Wehner et al (1967) who suggested extending parallel lines from the lateral surfaces of the ala of the nose onto the labial surface of the maxillary occlusion rim to estimate the inter-canine cusp tip.…”

“…In the literature many anthropometric studies have been done to standardize the tooth position in dental arch but most of the studies were concerned for anterior teeth. Scarce studies have examined the scientifi c methods for determining the positioning of posterior teeth in complete dentures (Debnath et al 2014). Attempts were done to determine accurate correlation between maxillary anterior teeth, teeth size and face beauty, but scarce information exist on the relationship between the upper intercanine distance and the inner canthal distance and face beauty.…”
