Abstract

Introduction: Crown width and crown length provides significant information on human evolution as well as in forensic and clinical dentistry. The width-to-length ratio or individual tooth proportion (ITP) of maxillary anterior teeth considered as an important factors for dental aesthetics and harmonic teeth arrangement. The goal of this research is to establish if there is any significant difference in crown width, length, width/length ratio of permanent maxillary anterior teeth between male and female students in Faculty of dentistry Padjadjaran University Bandung, Indonesia. Methods: The method used for this research was analytical statistical approach. Total sampling technique with criteria was used to determine the sample size from the total population of students of Faculty of Dentistry Padjadjaran University from batch 2012 to 2014. The data was analyzed using Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Independent Two Sample T test and Mann-Whitney test. Result: there is difference in crown width, length, width/length ratio of permanent maxillary anterior teeth between male and female students in Faculty of Dentistry Padjadjaran University. Conclusion: There is significant difference in crown width and length of permanent maxillary anterior teeth between male and female students in Faculty of Dentistry Padjadjaran University, but there is no significant difference in crown width/length ratio of permanent maxillary anterior teeth between male and female students in Faculty of Dentistry Padjadjaran University Bandung, Indonesia.

Keywords: Crown Width, Length, Width/length.
