Article Abstract
Statement Of Problem: Selection of proper sized maxillary anterior teeth is one of the difficult clinical steps in complete denture esthetics. Several studies have been reported to establish methods of estimating the combined width of maxillary anterior teeth.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine whether a relationship exists between the innercanthal distance (ICD) and interalar width (IAW) with the combined width of maxillary anterior teeth.
Material And Methods: The maxillary anterior teeth of 600 adult subjects were examined. ICD was measured between the median angles of the palpebral fissure. IAW was measured between the ala of the nose at their widest point. The mean combined width of the maxillary anterior teeth was determined intraorally at their widest dimension. Pearson's correlation coefficients were calculated to determine the relationship between ICD, IAW and the combined width of maxillary anterior teeth (α =0.05).
Results: Although the Pearson correlation coefficients were relatively small, a significant relationship existed between innercanthal dimension and IAW (P < 0001).
Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, the results suggest that ICD and IAW cannot be used as a preliminary method for determining the width of the maxillary anterior teeth for edentulous patients.

Periodontal splints offer a noninvasive and inexpensive treatment modality to stabilize mobile teeth. This study evaluated periodontal splints to examine their longevity and long-term stability. A retrospective chart review was performed for patients who received splints on mandibular or maxillary anterior teeth.

This study was performed to evaluate the amount of bone implant engagement (BIE) of zygomatic implants (ZIs) at the malar bone level and its correlation with the ZAGA classification (zygoma anatomy-guided approach). One hundred ZIs placed in 32 patients with severe maxillary atrophy using a fully digital protocol were assessed: 80 placed in pairs (40 anterior (AI), 40 posterior (PI)) and 20 as single ZIs (SI). The ZAGA classification was determined preoperatively.

Introduction: The infratemporal fossa (ITF) represents a complex anatomical region of critical relevance in skull base surgery, particularly due to its involvement in the extension of neoplastic lesions. Surgical access to this region remains technically demanding. The orbitozygomatic (OZ) and transmandibular (TM) approaches offer distinct anatomical perspectives and operative corridors.
