Abstract
Intraoral radiograms can be made according to the long tube paralleling technique utilizing aiming devices. An important factor in the design of these instruments is the length of the teeth to be radiographed. Reliable data regarding the length of the teeth in the different regions of the mouth are not available. Information on the length of teeth was therefore collected by measuring 1,400 extracted teeth. A statistical analysis of the data finally resulted for each region of the mouth and for both sexes in length value which could be used for the design of aiming devices.Entities:
