Evaluation of the incisive papilla as a guide to arrangement of anterior maxillary teeth based on Deutero Melayu measurement
Objectives: this study was conducted to estimate the relationship of the incisive papilla to the anteroposterior arrangement of the maxillary anterior teeth based on Deutero Melayu measurement, because incisive papilla is considered as a reliable and relatively stable anatomical landmark.
Methods: Maxillary stones casts were collected from 105 dental students in Faculty of Dentistry University Indonesia. Age ranged from 18-35 years. 53 male and 52 woman .Alginate impression, dental stone, stock tray were used. Photographic technique was used to measure anatomic landmarks located on dental casts. A standardized caliper was used in the measurements. The distances from midpoint and posterior border of incisive papilla were measured. The area on the incisive papilla where the intercanine distance was noted. Non paired T test and Mann Whitney use to analyze the data.
Results: the average IMP distance (SD) 10.06 (1.05) with no significant gender difference (p=0.114), IP distance 12.3 (0.95) with no significant gender difference (p=0.051), IIC distance 9.98 (1.49) with significant gender difference (p=0.035), ICP distance 0.29 (5.09) with no significant gender difference (p=0.251), CP distance 21,52 (1.53) with significant gender difference (p=0.002) and ICA distance 128.65 (4.95) with significant gender difference (p=0.00).
Conclusions: these results suggested that there is relation ship between the maxillary central incisors, canines, and incisive papilla aiding in their antero posterior position. The clinical revelance of this study lies in application of incisive papilla as a starting point in the preliminary location of maxillary incisors and canines teeth during construction of dentures.
