Anterior Tooth Arrangement<br />
General Arrangement<br />
Considerations<br />
Anterior teeth are set primarily<br />
for esthetics not function<br />
Considering creating<br />
asymmetry after discussion<br />
with patient<br />
Each tooth should appear as<br />
an individual tooth<br />
Gingival 1/3 of maxillary<br />
incisors provide lip support<br />
Incisal 1/3 of maxillary incisors<br />
provides esthetics<br />
Maxillary anterior teeth are set<br />
on the smile line<br />

Maxillary Anterior Tooth<br />
Arrangement<br />
Central<br />
Labial surfaces flush with wax rim<br />
contour<br />
Long axis slightly distal to<br />
perpendicular<br />
Incisal edge is at occlusal plane<br />
Lateral<br />
<br />
Long axis at an angle more distal<br />
than central<br />
Incisal edge is slightly above<br />
occlusal plane<br />
Canine<br />
Long axis at a more distal angle<br />
than lateral<br />
Cervical is prominent, incisal<br />
edge looks tucked-in<br />
Incisal edge is at occlusal plane<br />

Maxillary Anterior Tooth<br />
Arrangement<br />
Maxillary Anterior Tooth<br />
Arrangement<br />
• Labial surface of the centrals usually 5-7mm anterior to incisal papilla<br />
Maxillary Anterior Tooth<br />
Arrangement<br />
Golden Proportion<br />
Ratio of 1.618:1<br />
Proportion between a<br />
larger part and a smaller<br />
part<br />
Width of the central<br />
incisor is in the golden<br />
proportion to the width of<br />
the lateral incisor<br />
Maxillary Anterior Tooth<br />
Arrangement<br />
Esthetics of natural<br />
teeth<br />
Avoid lampshade<br />
convergence of roots!<br />
