Evaluation of the utility of cephalometric parameters in constructing complete denture. Part II: placement of anterior teeth.

Various types of parameters, including cephalometric ones, have been used in the construction of complete denture. This study aimed to evaluate the utility of cephalometric parameters for this purpose. The position of the anterior teeth in a group of 42 edentulous patients, successfully rehabilitated with complete denture according to clinical parameters, was evaluated by cephalometrics following the Ricketts' design. Data obtained were then compared statistically with those reported by Ricketts for dentate subjects, the position of the maxillary incisors was slightly anterior.
