Teeth Size in a Group of Egyptian Children Clinical Trial
Official title:
Determination of The Combined Mesio-Distal Widths of The Permanent Mandibular Incisors and That of The Maxillary and Mandibular Canines and Premolars in a Group of Egyptian Children in Rural Areas of Sohag Governorate: A Cross Sectional Study
Determination of The Combined Mesio-Distal Widths of The Permanent Mandibular Incisors and That of The Maxillary and Mandibular Canines and Premolars in a Group of Egyptian Children in Rural Areas of Sohag Governorate: A Cross Sectional Study
Study Settings:
- Students will be randomly selected from preparatory schools in rural areas of Sohag
governorate, seated in the school lap or an empty classroom.
- Clinical examination will be made in the daylight using disposable diagnostic sets
(mirror, and explorer). No diagnostic radiographs will be taken.
- Operator: Master degree's student in Pediatric Dentistry and Dental Public Health.
- Full mouth alginate impression will be taken and study models will be poured within one
hour with hard dental stone for each subject.
- Mesio-distal widths of both maxillary and mandibular permanent incisors, canines, first
and second premolars will be measured from the study models using digital caliper
according to the method described by(Moorrees & Reed, 1964) by measuring the greatest
distance between the contact points on the proximal surfaces holding the caliper
parallel to both occlusal and vestibular surfaces of the tooth.
