ABSTRACT
As part of the development of a guide to aid the undergraduate in the selection of artificial teeth, the aim of this study was to investigate the variability in choice of dental staff to select teeth appropriate to the age and sex of the individual with the aid of a series of three-dimensional guides. Four three-dimensional guides were produced for use in the study. Fifty dentists were asked to complete a questionnaire designed to assess the variability in selection of anterior teeth appropriate for the age and sex of an individual. From this study it can be concluded that there was little consistency in the selection of the shade, mould and arrangement of anterior teeth appropriate for the age and sex of the individual by qualified dental staff. The development and implementation of an aesthetic proforma to guide dental staff, dental undergraduates and patients through the process of choosing tooth mould, shade and arrangement based on age and sex may be helpful.
