Abstract: 

Context: The spatial relationship of maxillary right central incisor form and face form varies among individuals. Such variability could be correlated to each other.

Aims: To determine the correlation between maxillary central incisor tooth form and face form in males and females of Indian population. Method: In the present study, a total of 100 dentulous dental student subjects (50 males and 50 females) of Indian origin were randomly selected. Images of the face and the maxillary right central incisors were captured and then they were transferred to a computer having image editing software. The facial outline form was determined. The maxillary right central incisor tooth form was determined. Correlation was made between tooth form and face form.

Statistical Analysis Used: The data were analyzed using chi-square test for association and Z- test for quality of proportion. Results: Mean correlation between maxillary central incisor tooth form and face form in Indian population exhibited greater correlation which was highly significant.

Conclusion: Highly defined correlation exists between maxillary central incisor form and face form in males and females of Indian population.
