Summary. The corner of the mouth is near to the maxillary canine.
In order to establish this anatomical point as a landmark for the set-up
of the artificial maxillary canine, in complete dentures construction,
we fulfiled 4000 topographical determinations of the connection place of
lips in relation to the distal limit of maxillary canine. It was concluded
that the distal contact surface of maxillary canine overlap with the corner
of the mouth in 50% of cases.
Key words: Tooth size, mouth corner, canine, premolar
TOPOGRAFSKI MEĐUODNOS. UGAO USTA I OČNJAK
Ugao usta je blizu maksilarnog očnjaka. Da bi se ustanovila anatomska
tačka kao vodič za postavljanje veštačkih očnjaka u konstrukciju totalne
proteze izvršeno je 4000 topografskih odredjivanja mesta spoja usana u
odnosu na distalnu granicu maksilarnog očnjaka. Zaključeno je da se distalna
kontakna površina maksilarnog očnjaka poklapa sa uglom usta u 50% slučajeva.
Ključne reči: Veličina zuba, ugao usta, očnjak, predkutnjak
