Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze whether there is a consistent relationship between the interalar
distance, intercommissural distance and intercanine distance. Materials and Methods: Forty individuals were selected
who satisfied the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Three parameters such as interalar width, intercanine distance,
intercommissural width were measured. The data obtained were statistically analyzed. Result: There was significant
relation between interalar and intercanine width. There was no significant relation between intercommissural width and
intercanine distance. Conclusion: Interalar width can be used as a preliminary method for determining the width of the
maxillary anterior teeth for edentulous patients.
