Aim: To evaluate coincidence of Facial midline with Dental midline and Maxillary midline with Mandibular midline in undergraduate students of Narsinhbhai Patel Dental College and Hospital, Visnagar. Materials and Methods:A total of 200 Undergraduate students with the age range from 18 to 24 were selected randomly for the study.The patient having 2nd molar to 2nd molar present were included in the study. However patients having midline diastema, congenital or acquired defect were excluded. The patients were examined by 2 examiners to check if facial midline wascoincide with dental midline and maxillary midline was coincide with mandibular midline or not. Result: The results of the present study showed that 180 Patient’s (90%) maxillary midline coincide with the facial midline. Among 20 patients, 14 patient’s (70%) had facial midline shift towards right side and 6 patients had facial midline shift towards left side.129 Patient’s (64.5%) maxillary midline coincide with mandibular midline. Conclusion: Maxillary midline is coincide with the philtrum and can be used as a guide for establishing Maxillary dental midline while fabricating fixed prosthesis or removable prosthesis. Maxillary midline is partly coincide with the mandibular midline.
