Objectives: To find out the correlation between inter commissural width and maxillary inter canine width. Study Design: Cross-sectional Research. Setting: Department of Prosthodontics Dental OPD LUHMS Jamshoro. Period: June to December 2021. Material & Methods: A total of 100 patients with maxillary impressions of patient were taken in metal perforated stock trays with irreversible Hydrocolloid impored immediately with dental stone type IV for making the study cast. Questionnaire mode of research instrument was used for the data acquisition during patient treatment. In parallel with maxillary anterior teeth selection and inter-commissural width determination by using Vernier calliper, the inter-canine distance was also assessed. Results: About 100 patients were assessed maxillary anterior teeth selection, and inter-commissural width. The mean age of the study participants was recorded as 21.52±2.83 years. Whereas 63% patients were male. The overall statistical calculations showed a significant positive correlation (r=0.73; p=0.0005) between and the inter-commissural width and maxillary inter-canine teeth. Conclusion: Based on the findings, the study concludes that there is a significant correlation between inter-commissural width and maxillary inter-canine teeth among the south-west population in Sindh.
To find out the correlation between inter commissural width and maxillary inter canine width in the south-west population of Sindh, Pakistan.
A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 100 patients aged 18-30 years. Maxillary impressions were taken to create study casts. Inter-commissural width and inter-canine distance were measured using a Vernier caliper. Data was analyzed using SPSS, with Pearson correlation calculated to assess the relationship.

The study highlights the importance of inter-commissural width as a parameter for anterior teeth selection in edentulous patients, especially in the absence of pre-extraction records. The findings align with some previous studies but acknowledge variations due to different methodologies and populations.
A significant positive correlation (r=0.73; p=0.0005) was found between inter-commissural width and maxillary inter-canine teeth. The mean age of participants was 21.52±2.83 years, with 63% being male.
There is a significant correlation between inter-commissural width and maxillary inter-canine teeth among the south-west population in Sindh, Pakistan.
