Exploration of the relationship between tooth dimensions, body size, and age is important in paleontology, forensic odontology and aesthetic dentistry. It is reasonable to speculate that tooth length is associated with stature since teeth contribute to facial height. This study aimed to determine whether there was an association between tooth length and stature and age in a sample of Sri Lankan...

PURPOSE The purpose of this in vivo study was to compare the accuracy of primary incisor length determined by direct digital radiography (straight-line measurement and grid superimposition) and measurement of the actual tooth length. METHODS Twenty-two primary maxillary incisors that required extractions were selected from 3- to 5-year-old children. The teeth were radiographed with an intraor...

rapidly evolving implantation and alveolar ridge reconstruction techniques created a new area in modern dentistry where tooth loss is no longer a problem. endless variations of implant’s length, diameter, surface, and design along with autogenous, alogenous, aloplastic, or xenogenous bone substitutes made it possible to recreate physiological occlusion, esthetic and masticatory function. howeve...

  In this study two groups of dental study models were selected to evaluate the relationship between the tooth size, arch dimensions , and dental crowding. The first group consisting of 56 pairs of dental study models (28 males and 28 females) with normal occlusion ( without dental crowding) ranging in  age from 16 to 20 years, were selected among 4445 students from Kerman by multi stage rando...
