The relationships of the maxillary central incisors and canines to the incisive papilla in Jordanians.

Aim: The validity of the relationship between the maxillary anterior teeth and the incisive papilla and the pertinence of this relationship to Jordanians was examined.

Methods And Materials: A computerized digital caliper (CDC) tool was developed and used in the measurements which were made on scanned images of dental casts of 298 Jordanians. The distances from a tangent to the labial surface of the central incisors to the midpoint and the posterior border of the incisive papilla were measured.
