Multidisciplinary approach of tooth size discrepancies
25th Global Dentists and Pediatric Dentistry Annual Meeting

Abstract:
Introduction: The optimal arrangement of maxillary and mandibular teeth is a subject of great concern to dentists and their patients. In addition to tooth size, shape, inclination, torque and alignment, how teeth fit and function together is defined as a disproportion among the sizes of individual teeth. In order to achieve a good occlusion with the correct over bite and over jet, the maxillary and mandibular teeth must be proportional in size.
Methodology: A review of the literature was conducted using the PubMed and EBSCO databases. Literature was screened using the key words like tooth size discrepancy, bolton ratio and orthodontic.
Conclusion: Bolton ratio is the missing link between orthodontics and aesthetic dentistry. Variation in the size and shape of teeth are predominantly and genetically determined. Environmental factors may have an effect on tooth development. Anomaly in the size of the upper lateral incisors is the most common cause of the TSD but variation in premolars or other teeth may be present. The challenge is to use all the parameters available by the different specialties of dentistry and apply these concepts in each treated case. It is not a single detail that defines excellence but it is the sum of many.
