Abstrakt: One of the main problems in clinical prosthodontics has been the selection and replacement of maxillary anterior teeth in the absence of pre-extraction records. Although, several studies have proposed different reference guidelines for estimating central incisor width, there have been no appropriate guidelines for determining incisor length in the absence of pre-extraction records. The objective of the study was to arrive at a guideline for the correct length of the maxillary central incisor based on the distance between the bridge of the nose to the base of the nose and correlate the above findings with the regression equation. This study aims to correlate the length of the maxillary central incisor and facial measurements in the absence of pre-extraction records. This clinical observational study was conducted at Ibn Sina National College for Medical Studies, Jeddah. The study population was selected using cluster-randomsampling. Totally 80 subjectsparticipated in this study. Based on the limitations of the study, it is concluded that, measuring the distance from the bridge of the nose and at the base and the height of the maxillary central incisor thereby measurement and regression equation, a ratio of (5:1) was achieved. which can be proposed as a new reference guide for the selection of maxillary central incisor length. These findings suggest that relation-based methods between Nose Length and the length of the central incisor length are to be used as a preliminary guide in estimating the height of the maxilla central incisors in the absence of records before extraction for the purpose ensure acceptable aesthetics.
