THE LIP
When the lips are relaxed and apart the labial surface of the maxillary anterior teeth support the upper lip. The incisal edge extends inferior to or slightly below the lip margin.
Length
The length of the upper six anterior teeth is normally such that the neck of the teeth will overlap the anterior ridge by 2-3mm Cervically up the incisive edges of the centrals will show below the relaxed lip.
HARMONY
The face length is taken from supra orbital ridge line to inferior border of the chin. Breadth is the distance between the zygomatic process The length is greater than width would indicate teeth of htose proportions, irrespective of their shape.
POUNDERS FORMULA
To determine the length and width of central incisor using the zygomatic width and length of face respectively.
WIDTH
Most satisfactory way of selecting teeth width Choose a set which are wide enough to allow the canines to be mounted on the canine eminence when set up.
GOLDEN PREPORTION
G.P for each patient is measured as follows The width of the central incisor was multiplied by 62% and compared with the width of central incisor is in G.P to the width of lateral incisor. In comparing with the width of lateral incisor multiplied by 62% with the width of adjacent canine it can be determined if the width of lateral incisor is in golden proportion to the width of canine.
PHYSIOLOGICAL
The facial musculature contributes to esthetics of the patient Increasing the thickness of the denture base in the labial and the buccal sulci can produce a puffy appearance.
PSYCHOLOGICAL
A patient with a +ve self evaluation shows a broad smile up the one width a negative self evaluation shows a tight lipped small smile The campers line the psychological plane of orientation
BIOMECHANICAL
The teeth should be placed such that they fulfil the biomechanics of the denture. The teeth should be set in the neutral zone.
COLOUR OR SHADE
Colour is described by means of hue Chrome Value
SEX
Dentogenic concept : sex, personality, age , are the factors which determine the form of anterior tooth
