RESUMO

In this study, the size of natural maxillary teeth of 119 individuals between 20 and 30 years old were analyzed. The width and the height of all of the upper teeth on the casts were measured with a digital caliper. The size of the artificial teeth of three commercial marks was also checked. That analysis allowed the identification of what frequently occurs in the natural dentition. The conclusion was that: approximately 48% of the width of natural maxillary central incisor was greater than 9,0mm. However, only 14,28% of the artificial central upper incisor analyzed had that dimension. Approximately 64% of the population in the research had tooth 14 with width larger than 7,0mm. In the moulds of the teeth available, was found only a model with mesiodistal dimension over 7,0mm. Around 74% of the height of natural maxillary first molars was smaller than 7,0mm. Only an artificial model had height smaller than 7,0mm. The adaptation of the dimensions by artificial teeth would facilitate the assembly of the teeth and would bring the esthetics desired for to the user of the prosthetic replacements.
