Pak Oral Dental J Jan ;37(1):179-82.

The aims of the study were to compare the mean tooth length of the upper right central incisor with respect to facial profiles and gender. It is a cross sectional study and was carried out at the Prosthodontic Department of Lahore Medical and Dental College, Lahore from 16th August 20114 to January 2015. A total of 400 dentate subjects; 200 male and 200 females of age range 18 to 53 years were randomly selected from the department of Prosthodontics, Lahore Medical and Dental College, Lahore. Subjects with intact maxillary anterior teeth and with healthy periodontal and gingival tissues were included in the study. To compare the percentage of mean tooth length of the upper right central incisor the measurements were carried out using a digital Vernier caliper. The maximum incisogingival length was measured from the gingival margin to the incisal edge vertically slightly distal to the middle of the tooth. The results of the present study have shown that men have significantly longer maxillary right central incisors as compared to the female participants. However no significant difference was found in maxillary right central incisors length in different facial profiles. It was concluded that there were no significant effects of different facial profiles on the length of maxillary central incisors. However, significant gender based difference was found as men having longer central incisors than females counterparts.
