THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INTERCANTHAL WIDTH, INTERALAR WIDTH, COMBINED WIDTH OF FORE FINGER, MIDDLE FINGER, AND RING FINGER OF RIGHT HAND TO THE INTERCANINE WIDTH OF MAXILLARY ANTERIOR TEETH IN SOUTH INDIAN POPULATION- AN IN VIVO STUDY

Purpose-The objective is to evaluate the relationship between Intercanthal width, interalar width, combined width of fore finger, middle finger, and ring finger of right hand to the intercanine width of maxillary anterior teeth in south Indian population Materials and Methods- one hundred thirty six patients were evaluated for innercanthal, interalar, combined width of fore finger, middle finger, and ring finger of right hand to the intercanine width of maxillary anterior teeth, the studys statistical test was done by one-way ANOVA test. Result-the values of Mean ± SD were Intercanine distance 40.510 ± 1.954, inter alar width 40.672± 1.785 eye width 37.969 ± 2.37 and combined finger width 40.397 ± 1.969 and df: 2, F: 11.578, p-value : 0.001(p
