Cross-sectional study examines correlations in dental dimensions and head measurements in children, suggesting predictive value.

Key Points

This study aims to explore the relationship between head circumference, inner canthal distance, and the mesio-distal width of maxillary central incisors in children.
Conducted a cross-sectional study involving 68 children aged 7-12 years.
Measured head circumference, inner canthal distance, and mesio-distal width of maxillary central incisors.
Analyzed data using SPSS 26.0 and Pearson’s correlation for variable associations.
Found a significant positive correlation between head circumference and mesio-distal width of maxillary central incisors (P=0.002).
The correlation between inner canthal distance and MD width was weak and not statistically significant (P=0.10).
Head circumference can serve as a predictive measure for incisor size, while inner canthal distance does not predict incisor width.
