dc.description.abstractObjectives: Achieving a natural smile while restoring anterior teeth is challenging. Selecting appropriate dimensions of teeth is important for aesthetics. This study aims to measure and analyse the dimensions of the maxillary anterior teeth and their relative width proportions in a Saudi subpopulation. Methods: One hundred and eighty patients (112 men and 68 women) with intact maxillary anterior teeth (age range ¼ 20e30 years) participated in this research. Maxillary impressions (Vinyl Polysiloxane) were created and poured. A digital caliper was used to record the length and width of maxillary anterior teeth in millimetres (mm) from the dental casts, and the casts were digitally photographed to calculate relative width ratios. Results: The mean width for central incisor was 8.74 mm (men ¼ 8.89 mm, women ¼ 8.60 mm), lateral incisor 6.64 mm (men ¼ 6.79 mm, women ¼ 6.49 mm) and canine 7.82 mm (men ¼ 8.01 mm women ¼ 7.63 mm). The recorded mean lengths for these teeth were 9.84 mm (men ¼ 10.04 mm, women ¼ 9.64 mm), 8.09 mm (men ¼ 8.30 mm, women ¼ 7.89 mm) and 9.08 mm (men ¼ 9.48 mm, women ¼ 8.69 mm). The mean values of apparent width/width ratio measured on the cast photographs were 63.69 mm for the lateral incisor/central incisor and 78.35 mm for canine/lateral incisor. No statistically significant difference was found between the mean values of the apparent width/width ratio of the right and left sides and between men and women. Conclusions: This study showed a minor asymmetry between left and right side anterior teeth among the participants. The width to length ratio of the central and lateral incisors was similar for both genders, with minor differences in the canines. A squarish form of anterior teeth for the Saudi population with dimensional similarities to the Turkish population was found.en_US
