| Sumario: | This research aimed to establish updated metric data on the lengths and diameters of each permanent human tooth. The study was observational and descriptive. We utilized 96 unidentified human teeth from the Introduction to Odontology" course collection at the School of Dentistry, National University of the Northeast, collected between 2014 and 2019. All specimens were free of lesions or restorations and had complete crowns and roots. A Gardex 0-150 mm digital caliper was used for measurements. The obtained data revealed that the Maxillary Central Incisor (MxCI) exhibits the greatest crown height, attributed to its larger Inciso-Cervical (IC) diameter. Regarding the Mesiodistal (MD) diameter, the Mandibular First Molar (MnFM) was the widest tooth in the arch, while the Mandibular Central Incisor (MnCI) was the narrowest. Analysis of the Vestibulopalatal (VP) diameter identified the Maxillary First Molar (MxFM) as the largest in this dimension, and the Mandibular First Molar (MnFM) as having the greatest Vestibulolingual (VL) diameter. The smallest Vestibulolingual (VL) diameter values were observed in the mandibular incisor group. The Maxillary Canine (MxC) displayed the greatest root length, whereas the Mandibular Central Incisor (MnCI) had the shortest root. This investigation provides updated metric patterns for the root and crown portions of permanent human teeth, offering essential data for clinical application. |
