Review Meta Analysis
Evaluation of maxillary anterior teeth width: A systematic review.
Estimating the width of the maxillary anterior teeth when creating an esthetic smile can be challenging. Valid metrics to assist in this process are needed. ⋯ By analyzing the data from the literature, only the recurring esthetic dental proportion (70%) with interalar distance could be an accurate method for predicting the combined width of central incisors. Neither interalar distance nor inner canthal distance could directly be used to predict the intercanine distance.
