Relationship Between the Physical Height and the Clinical Crown Length in ChildrenNCT07187999
Dimensional Correlation Between Tooth Measurements and Physical Height in Children
An observational study of Relationship Between the Physical Height and the Clinical Crown Length in Children, run by Rungta College of Dental Sciences and Research at 1 site in India.
Trial 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. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Dental Morphometric Correlation Between Crown Dimensions to Physical Height of a Child
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.
Read the 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.
