Abstract

A CEPHALOMETRIC STUDY TO DETERMINE THE INCLINATION AND POSITION OF MANDIBULAR INCISOR TEETH IN DENTURES AND NATURAL DENTITION

Sreenivasulu Kune

Many dentures do not satisfy the esthetic values the patient deserves. One of the chief error occurs in the placement of anterior teeth. Failure to place anterior teeth in their correct position may cause altered facial appearance, expression and faulty facial contours. In this study an attempt was made to determine by means of a cephalometric analysis, the extent to which artificial mandibular anterior teeth arranged for complete denture, approximate the natural teeth mean values as obtained from adult dentulous subjects
