  • Title: Denture tooth selection: an analysis of the natural maxillary central incisor compared to the length and width of the face. Part I.
    Author: LaVere AM, Marcroft KR, Smith RC, Sarka RJ.
    Journal: J Prosthet Dent; 1992 May; 67(5):661-3. PubMed ID: 1527751.
    Abstract:
    A project was devised by the removable prosthodontic faculty to determine clinically if there is a correlation between the length and width of the maxillary central incisor on a cast and the length and width of the face. A millimeter gauge was used to measure the lengths and widths of the maxillary incisor on a cast. The Trubyte tooth indicator was selected to measure the length and width of the face. This tooth indicator is designed for calibration of the 16 to 1 ratio between facial dimension and maxillary central incisors.
