ABSTRACT

Aim: To determine the correlation between face form and maxillary central incisor tooth form in dentate patients visiting Rehman College of dentistry Peshawar.

Methods: 152 patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria were included in the study through consecutive non probability sampling. Photographs of their face and maxillary central incisor were taken, printed, traced and subjected to classification by William’s method by 4 Prosthodontists.

Results: As per descriptive statistics, mean and SD’s for age was 31+5.78, mean and SD’s for face form measurements was recorded as 78+1.67, whereas mean and SD’s for central incisor tooth form measurements was recorded as 25+0.69

Conclusion: It has been concluded that there is no highly defined correlation between the face form and maxillary central incisor tooth form in males and females. These results indicate that the maxillary central incisor tooth shows considerable asymmetry, whereas the face is basically symmetric. Instead, the opinions and desires of the patient should be considered, to ensure optimal dental esthetics for each individual.
