A Comparative Study of Morphological Variation in Maxillary Lateral Incisor in North and South Indian Population (original) (raw)

Objective: The objective of this study is to assess the morphological variation of maxillary lateral incisor among the North and South Indian population. Methods: 50 casts each from North and South Indian population was taken and mesiodistal width of maxillary lateral incisor measured with Vernier calliper of pitch 0.001 cm. Results: Based on the findings it was clear that there was no significant variation in maxillary lateral incisor among the North and South Indian population. Conclusion: a distinct morphological variability was not noted among the North and South Indian population, which may be due to less number of samples taken. The study should be done by taking large number of study samples to evaluate the significant variations.
