Evaluation of the utility of cephalometric parameters in constructing complete denture. Part II: placement of anterior teeth

Various types of parameters, including cephalometric ones, have been used i n the construction of complete denture. This study aimed to evaluate the ut ility of cephalometric parameters for this purpose. The position of the ant erior teeth in a group of 42 edentulous patients, successfully rehabilitate d with complete denture according to clinical parameters, was evaluated by cephalometrics following the Ricketts' design. Data obtained were then comp ared statistically with those reported by Ricketts for dentate subjects, th e position of the maxillary incisors was slightly anterior.
