“…Abbreviations: BrN-BaN: Distance from bridge of the nose to the base of the nose AMH: Actual measured height of the maxillary right central incisor Pound [42] suggested that the bizygomatic width divided by 16 and the distance from the hairline to the lower edge of the bone of the chin, also divided by 16 provides the width and length of the maxillary central incisors respectively. In addition the outline form of the fingernail [12], incisive papilla [8], alae of the nose [44], patient photographs [45] have all been suggested as possible guides to the selection of maxillary central incisor. The golden proportion, when applied to the dentition, indicates that if the perceived width of each anterior tooth is approximately 62% the size of its adjacent anterior tooth, then it is considered aesthetically pleasing [46][47][48].…”

Introduction:The maxillary central incisor in particular holds the key in creating a highly esthetic frontal profile and therefore appropriate selection of the tooth is of utmost importance in the restoration of the anterior segment of teeth in completely or partially edentulous patients. Although a number of studies have suggested various reference guides towards estimation of the width of central incisor, there have been no suitable guides to ascertain the length of the incisor in the absence of pre-extraction records.Purpose of the study: The present study attempted to arrive at a correct proportion for determining as far as possible the correct length of the maxillary central incisor with the help of facial measurements in the absence of pre-extraction records in a small proportion of the subcontinent Indian population. Materials and methods:The distance from the bridge of the nose to the base was compared to the length (actual and calculated by regression) of the maxillary central incisor in 400 patients of both sexes between the age groups of 20-35 years.

“…A relationship between the shapes of the tooth and face differing from this were obtained in the studies of Wolfart et al, 22 in which the square shape was the one that generated the greatest similarities. In the studies of Seluk et al, 10 Varjão et al, 11 Sellen et al, 14 Mavroskoufis and Ritchie 15 and Sears, 23 no associations were observed between the shapes of the tooth and face.…”

“…23 It was also not possible to make any statistical association between the tooth shape, gender and the pleasant appearance of the images of the smile. This may suggest that, in some way, the arrangement and composition of the anterior teeth have a greater influence on esthetics, and this would justify the size of the tooth and its disposition being more important than its shape.…”

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.
