Anterior, intercanine width, intercommissural width, interpupillary distance, edentulousAbstract
Objectives: Finding a relationship between the maxillary intercanine width and facial landmarks such interpupillary distance and intercommissural width, as well as calculating the ratio between the variables that were evaluated, were the goals of this study; this information may be helpful in clinical settings.
Materials and Methods: This was a cross sectional study that required use of a precise digital vernier caliper [Mitutoyo (UK) Ltd.] with a 0.01 mm precision and the ability to measure distances ranging from 0 to 150 mm was used for all of these measurements. The Intercanine width measurements were taken directly on the participant with the help of a dental fl oss. Each dimension was recorded thrice and a mean was calculated.
Results: Inter commissural width was also significantly higher in males as compare to the females (49.0±5.8 vs 46.63±4.2 respectively, p<0.001). Whereas, no significant association was found between mean width of maxillary anteriors among males and female participants.
Conclusion: When building a prosthesis for an edentulous patient, the physician should consider these facial landmarks to help them determine the best canine positioning.
