A comparison between six natural maxillary anterior teeth and their corresponding artificial teeth in Iran(Pesearch)

The aim of this cross-sectional study was to compare the six maxillary anterior teeth, among Iranian population, with their corresponding artificial teeth available on Iran market. One hundred people, half male and half female, age ranging from 20-30 years old, were selected. Variables such as face morphology, the width, length of the central tooth and also the width of the six maxillary anterior teeth were investigated and compared with the products of 5 companies (Ideal maco, Marjan, Vitapan, Ivoclar, Acry Rock). The results showed that the centrals morphology can be predicted upto 76% and it should be noted that the Ideal maco products.consider face morphology more than Marjan company products. However, both companies produce teeth of smaller size than Iranian natural teeth. No proper artificial teeth. are available for relatively big size faces or those with regularsize. From among forgein companies, Vitapan and Ivoclar produce the most proper artifical teeth for Iranian population regarding size and morphology. It should be mentioned that AcryRock products provide us with teeth of completely proper size although Iranian face morphology have not been considered by this company.
