Summary

Correlation between height of a child and their teeth dimensions needs to be established for several reasons such as determination of growth of an individual (growth records), growth spurts and medicolegal issues. This study was performed to evaluate this relationship.

Detailed description

A total of 210 samples of deciduous dentition from children aged 3-6 years were collected. Impressions were taken using elastomeric material, and casts were created with Type IV die stone. A digital vernier caliper measured the clinical crown length, which was correlated with the child's physical height. Statistical analysis revealed significant correlations between certain primary teeth and height in children. Based on the findings, mathematical equations were developed to predict physical height based on crown length.
