Correlation of The Curved Distance Between the Distal Surfaces of Maxillary Canines and The Combined Width of the Six Maxillary Anterior Teeth When Selecting Artificial Teeth for Malay, Chinese and Indian Community in Malaysia.

摘要

ABSTRACT Selection of anterior teeth is crucial in denture fabrication. Manufacturers provide measurements of artificial maxillary anterior teeth in a straight line. These generate error during teeth selection. Cross-sectional descriptive study was done to correlate curved distance to combined width of maxillary anterior teeth. Width of each maxillary anterior tooth was measured with Vernier callipers to obtain Combined Width. Curved Distance was obtained by measuring the combined width from di.
