Abstract

Maxillary central incisors are of critical value in esthetics of the smile. Width –Length ratio may play a role during restoration or Prosthetic replacement of this teeth. Objective: To investigate and analyze width/length of clinical crown of the central incisors of male students at Alfarabi College of Dentistry and Nursing, and find out the degree of existence of Gold standard. Methodology: The clinical crown width and length of maxillary left and right central incisors (CI) was measured using caliper directly from the student, mean is calculated, and the ratio of the width to the length was calculated and tabulated. Results: 67 male students participating in the study, the mean value of W/L was 77.25% ±9.38. Number of the students that their W/L was within the optimal gold standard (66- 85%) = 45 students, 22out of them was within the ideal range (75-80%). 14students were above the optimal ratio,while8 students were below the optimal ratio. Conclusions: Within the limitations of the present study, the width - length ratio of the clinical crown of the central incisor for 67% of the participated students was within the gold standard.
