Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of facial parameters (facial widths and proportions) in predicting the maxillary anterior teeth characteristics (teeth widths and ratios) through three-dimensional (3D) analysis.
Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Stomatology Hospital of Fujian Medical University. Facial parameters of participants were obtained using a 3D facial scanner and subsequently imported into specific software for automated measurement. Intraoral data was captured by TRIOS 3. Pearson correlation analysis was employed to identify relationships between facial and intraoral measurements. Linear regression was performed on significantly correlated variables, while t-tests evaluated the accuracy of esthetic proportions (golden proportion [GP], golden mean [GM], and recurring esthetic dental [RED]) in predicting combined central incisor width (CIW) and combined anterior teeth width (CAW) (α = 0.05).
Results: A total of 147 volunteers participated in this study. Significant correlations for CIW and CAW were observed with facial widths (interpupillary width [IPW], intercanthal width [ICW], and intercommissural width [ICoW]) (p < 0.05). Regression equations based on these facial parameters revealed no significant differences between predicted and actual values for CIW and CAW. RED with ICW reliably predicted CIW without significant deviation from actual measurements (p > 0.05).
Conclusions: Anterior teeth widths can be reliably predicted using regression formulas derived from facial widths. The RED proportion provides a reliable method for predicting CIW.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Prosthodontics promotes the advanced study and practice of prosthodontics, implant, esthetic, and reconstructive dentistry. It is the official journal of the American College of Prosthodontists, the American Dental Association-recognized voice of the Specialty of Prosthodontics. The journal publishes evidence-based original scientific articles presenting information that is relevant and useful to prosthodontists. Additionally, it publishes reports of innovative techniques, new instructional methodologies, and instructive clinical reports with an interdisciplinary flair. The journal is particularly focused on promoting the study and use of cutting-edge technology and positioning prosthodontists as the early-adopters of new technology in the dental community.
