Abstract

Objectives: The present study aims to fi nd out the correlation of maxillary anterior teeth and the nose width in a dentate study population of Gandhara University, Peshawar.
Methods and materials: The study population was the students of Gandhara University, Peshawar. Out of these a total of 211 students were invited to participate in the study. Both male and female were included in the sample population. Ethical clearance was obtained from the institution of the University. Informed consent was also obtained from the participants of the study. Interalar width was measured with Vernier caliper and the Intercanine distance was measured on a cast obtained from impression of the arch.
Results: A correlation was found between the interalar widths and combined mesio-distal dimensions of anterior 6 maxillary teeth; however, when compared in males and females the diff erence was not signifi cant.
Conclusion: Although nose can be used as guide for selection of maxillary anterior teeth width, however more than one guide must be used for predictable results.
