Abstract
One of the most confusing and difficult aspects of complete denture prosthodontics is the selection of appropriately sized maxillary anterior denture teeth. Various guidelines have been suggested for determining the size of anterior teeth, but different opinions have been reported regarding their significance. In the study reported here, the relationships between facial measurements and the width of maxillary anterior teeth in two ethnic groups, namely Aryans and Mongoloids, were determined.
The aims of the study were to determine the inner inter-canthal distance (ICAD), inter-pupillary distance (IPD), inter-commissural width (ICOW), inter-alar width (IAW), and the combined width of maxillary anterior teeth (CW) in Aryans and Mongoloids and to determine the relationships between these measurements.
Impressions of the teeth of 170 dentulous subjects (85 males and 85 females) were made with alginate then Type IV gypsum product was poured in. Measurements of the cast maxillary anterior teeth at their widest dimension (contact areas) were made with the Boley gauge. ICAD, IPD, ICOW, and IAW distances were also measured with a Boley gauge.
For all 170 subjects, 85 Aryans and 85 Mongoloids, Pearson’s correlation coefficient (
Within the limitations of this study, the results suggest that the IAW, IPD, and ICOW for Aryans and IPD for Mongoloids can be used as a preliminary method for determining the width of the maxillary anterior teeth in edentulous patients.

The investigators concluded that no single predictor was accurate enough for clinical application. Therefore, it appears that more than one variable is needed to predict the width of the maxillary anterior teeth. So this study was conducted to determine the relationship of facial measurements, ie, ICAD, IPD, ICOW, and IAW of the maxillary anterior teeth.</p><p>In the study presented here, Pearson’s correlation coefficient for CW and IAW was found to be weak, negative (except in Aryans), and highly significant at the 0.001 level in the total population and Aryans. A significant correlation at the 0.05 level (two-tailed) was found in Mongoloids. Ellakwa et al<xref rid="b15-ccide-8-029" ref-type="bibr">15</xref> found a weak relationship between IAW and CW, similar to our study, in which Pearson’s correlation coefficient was 0.38 for the total population.

Pearson’s correlation coefficient for CW and IPD was found to be 0.439 at the 0.001 level (two-tailed) in our study. A highly significant correlation was found in the total population, Aryans, Mongoloids at the 0.001 level (two-tailed), which is contradictory to the finding of Wazzan et al<xref rid="b16-ccide-8-029" ref-type="bibr">16</xref> and Ellakwa et al,<xref rid="b14-ccide-8-029" ref-type="bibr">14</xref> who found no significant correlation.</p><p>We also found that Pearson’s correlation coefficient for CW and ICOW was highly significant in Aryans at the 0.001 level (two-tailed).

Gomes et al<xref rid="b20-ccide-8-029" ref-type="bibr">20</xref> found a significant correlation of ICAD and CW to the combined mesiodistal width of six teeth using Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient. They found Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient for ICAD and IAW to be 0.232 and 0.205, respectively. Lucas et al<xref rid="b21-ccide-8-029" ref-type="bibr">21</xref> found correlation between ICAD and CW where the value of Pearson’s correlation coefficient was 0.302 (<italic>P</italic>-value 0.006).</p></sec><sec><title>Limitations</title><p>This study has several limitations. First, only two ethnic groups were included so the findings cannot be extrapolated to other ethnic groups. Second, the accuracy in determining the dimensions of teeth was compromised in two stages – one during impression making and the other during cast making. This could have been avoided if the teeth were measured intra-orally but the patients’ comfort would have been compromised. Facial measurements were done on soft-tissue landmarks and intra-operator variation in reading was observed with the same patients because of inconsistent pressure during measuring. A photographic method with calibration could have been used to avoid this problem.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>For all 170 subjects, Pearson’s correlation coefficient for IAW, IPD, ICOW, ICAD, and CW were calculated for the total population, Aryans, and Mongoloids. Pearson’s correlation coefficient for CW and IAW was found to be a highly significant but weak correlation at the 0.001 level (two-tailed) in the total population and Aryans. Pearson’s correlation coefficient for CW and ICOW was found to be highly significant in Aryans at the 0.001 level (two-tailed). A highly significant correlation was found between IPD and CW in the total population, Aryans, and Mongoloids at the 0.001 level (two-tailed). For Aryans, IAW, IPD, and ICOW can be used to determine anterior teeth widths. For Mongoloids, IPD can be used to determine anterior teeth widths.</p></sec></body><back><ack><title>Acknowledgments</title><p>The authors would like to acknowledge all the volunteers who
