Abstract:

Background : one amongst the key hurdles in clinical odontology has been the choice and replacement of jaw anterior teeth within the absence of pre-extraction records. the dimensions of the jaw central tooth is very important since they're the foremost distinguished teeth within the arch. varied strategies square {measure} wont to measure their size, as well as the dimensions of the face, arcus zygomaticus and chin to estimate the breadth and height by victimization “the facial indicator “. Objectives : to see if a relationship exists between intra-oral and extra-oral facial measurements in Arab population (Male) that might assist dental practitioners in choosing jaw anterior teeth within the absence of pre-extraction records. Methods : A cross-sectional study style was used with a sample size of eighty four participants from Ajman university dental school students World Health Organization met the inclusion criteria. The breadth and height of the jaw central incisors were measured victimization digital caliper. The facial indicator device wont to decide the breadth and height of the face in a trial to prove the existence of a right away relationship between the facial sizes hymenopteran the dimensions of the natural jaw central incisors. Results : 2 readings were used and that we compared between the 2 readings, there's slight similarity within the mensuration of forged length solely. there's slightly smart interclass correlation within the forged length in average of 2 readings. Since p-value is slightly quite (.05) thus the length of the central tooth on the forged is determined from the facial length solely. Conclusion : there's a relation between the lengths of the face with the length of the central incisors. breadth of the face shows no relation with breadth of central tooth.
