...Abstract


 

 

Introduction: Central incisors, the largest, most protruding and visible, affect denture aesthetics the most.
The aim of this paperwork was to compare the relative surface of a particular part of the face and the relative surface of the maxillary central incisors.
Material and methods: Measurements were done by computer analysis of face photographs of 200 subjects, 100 women and 100 men, as well as photos of their upper teeth plaster models.
Results: The comparison of the relative surface of the face and the vestibular surface of central incisors indicated the existence of a certain relationship between them. That relationship was 1.21 in men, and 1.19 in women.
Conclusion: The application of as many parameters may make the right choice of the size of teeth for dentures during their preparation easier. These results may be used during face reconstruction if an individual possesses all teeth, or vice versa, for the teeth reconstruction in edentulous individuals.

 

 Key words: Central incisors, face, surface, relationship
