Abstract

Objective:

To investigate the maxillary and mandibular anterior crown width/height ratio and its relation to various arch perimeters, arch length, and arch width (intercanine, interpremolar, and intermolar) groups.

Materials and Methods:

The calculated sample size was 128 subjects. The crown width/height, arch length, arch perimeter, and arch width of the maxilla and mandible were obtained via digital calliper (Mitutoyo, Japan). A total of 4325 variables were measured. The sex differences in the crown width and height were evaluated. Analysis of variance was applied to evaluate the differences between arch length, arch perimeter, and arch width groups.

Results:

Males had significantly larger mean values for crown width and height than females (P ≤ 0.05) for maxillary and mandibular arches, both. There were no significant differences observed for the crown width/height ratio in various arch length, arch perimeter, and arch width (intercanine, interpremolar, and intermolar) groups (P ≤ 0.05) in maxilla and mandible, both.

Conclusions:

Our results indicate sexual disparities in the crown width and height. Crown width and height has no significant relation to various arch length, arch perimeter, and arch width groups of maxilla and mandible. Thus, it may be helpful for orthodontic and prosthodontic case investigations and comprehensive management.

<title>Conclusions:</title>
<p>Our results indicate sexual disparities in the crown width and height. Crown width and height has no significant relation to various arch length, arch perimeter, and arch width groups of maxilla and mandible.

<p>Variations in tooth size, tooth morphology, and tooth size ratio have been connected with diverse ethnic foundations and occlusion statuses.[

<xref rid="ref10" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>
] Hereditary and ecological factors have strong effects on human teeth.[
<xref rid="ref11" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>
] Correspondingly, the teeth width/height ratio has population and ethnic variations in relation to shape.[
<xref rid="ref12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>

<p>Harmonious anterior teeth with proper size and shape were one of the most influential factors contributing to a pleasant smile in orthodontic, operative, and prosthodontic management. Lombardi[
<xref rid="ref14" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>
] was the first treatment providers to accentuate the status of dental proportions with different facial types. They mentioned that there was a recurring ratio noted between all teeth in relation with face from the central incisor to the first premolar. Levin[
<xref rid="ref15" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>
] and Qualtrough and Burke[
<xref rid="ref16" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>
] indicated that the most harmonious teeth proportion is 1:1.618 between central incisor to lateral incisor. However, conflicting reports[

<xref rid="ref18" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>
<xref rid="ref19" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>
] indicated that the majority of beautiful smiles did not have these dental proportions. Several anatomic measurements have been proposed to aid in determining the correct size and shape of the anterior teeth in relation to the various facial land marks and types on various populations.[

<p>The study was a comparative retrospective design. The oral and dental investigations were carried out with careful selection of subjects from the Pakistani population. Ethical approval was granted by the Ethics Committee of the Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM/JEPeM/140376) and informed consent was obtained from subjects. This investigation was designed and conducted according to the guidelines of Strengthening the Reporting of Observational studies in Epidemiology (STROBE), and we applied the STROBE specification in this manuscript.[

<title>DISCUSSION</title>
<p>Current research investigates the crown width/height ratio in relation to arch perimeter, arch length, and arch width groups (intercanine, interpremolar, and intermolar) for the first time. However, Alam and Iida investigated only mesiodistal tooth size and tooth size ratio in relation to these groups via cone beam computed tomography acquisitions.[
<xref rid="ref31" ref-type="bibr">31</xref>
] In orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning, the evaluation of the tooth size and tooth size discrepancy is an essential rung and such investigation was generally determined by conventional plaster study model analysis.[
<xref rid="ref33" ref-type="bibr">33</xref>
]</p>
<p>The clinical responsibility of the orthodontist is to visualize the macro-, mini-, and micro-esthetics and to design a pleasant smile.[
<xref rid="ref34" ref-type="bibr">34</xref>
<xref rid="ref35" ref-type="bibr">35</xref>
<xref rid="ref36" ref-type="bibr">36</xref>
] Current research investigates the crown width/height ratio for the very first time. These investigated norms can be used as a reference in relation to orthodontic and prosthodontic treatment of patients. There was significant difference observed in the worn and nonworn crown width/height ratio.[
<xref rid="ref12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>
] Therefore, in treatment plan, crown width/height ratio must be kept in consideration for the ideal overjet, overbite, and proper interdigitation to be achieved.</p>
<p>Through our study, we found out that there is significant sexual difference in the Pakistani population in the mean crown width/height ratios of maxillary and mandibular anterior six teeth (
<italic>P</italic>
≥ 0.05). However, there were no significant differences observed in relation to the arch length, arch perimeter, and arch width groups (
<italic>P</italic>
≥ 0.05). As study on Bangladeshi population reported no significant difference in the mean crown width/height ratios of maxillary anterior teeth between the various facial groups (
<italic>P</italic>
> 0.05).[
<xref rid="ref24" ref-type="bibr">24</xref>
]</p>
<p>Our research investigated the maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth width/height ratio with ideal overjet, overbite, and proper interdigitation in relation to arch perimeter, arch length, and arch width groups (intercanine, interpremolar, and intermolar). The research results showed no significant difference in relation to these groups of ideal occlusion [Tables
<xref ref-type="table" rid="T3">3</xref>
<xref ref-type="table" rid="T11">11</xref>
]. Other studies investigated the ideal occlusion in relation to maxillary and mandibular tooth size ratios and found significant differences in relation to these groups.[
<xref rid="ref31" ref-type="bibr">31</xref>
] But current research found no significant difference for crown width/height ratio to various arch groups and low correlations [
<xref ref-type="table" rid="T12">Table 12</xref>
].</p>
<p>For the Pakistani population the tooth were investigated in mesiodistal, buccolingual, and diagonal dimension.[
<xref rid="ref37" ref-type="bibr">37</xref>
]</p>
<p>The upshot of this study would be advantageous for both manufacturer and clinician. The current data can be used as reference, in order to create a natural pleasant esthetic smile and look. Especially during planning orthodontic, implant therapies, periodontal surgeries, and dental prosthesis procedures involving maxillary and mandibular esthetic zone. Currently, there are many manufacturers’ products of artificial teeth in various dimensions. Not all products are suitable for every person as there are variations in natural tooth size and shape from one person to another. By using the crown width/height ratio values obtained in this study, the proposed width/height, and there ratio can be calculated for each ethnic group and thus may accurately determine the ideal tooth shape and size in the esthetic zone. Therefore, such investigations are needed to be carried out in other population. Furthermore the norms will be of great value in forensic dentistry, and dental anthropology. Human teeth and arch size have lots of variations in size in relation to culture, race, and sex.[
