Publication Anterior Tooth Width Measurements among Patients in a Tertiary Hospital of Nepal: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study(Nepal Medical Association, 2020) Shrestha, Prabhat; Paudel, Sabina; Neupane, Madhu; Lamba, SumanAbstract Introduction: The knowledge of anterior tooth width and their relationships with each other is essential for any esthetic and prosthodontic rehabilitation. The objective of this study is to measure the width of the anterior teeth of patients coming to a teritary hospital of Nepal. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital from 30th September 2019 to 30th October 2019 after receiving ethical clearance from the institutional review committee (reference number: 2076/77/20). Convenient sampling was done. Point estimate at 99% Confidence Interval was calculated along with frequency and proportion for binary data. Data analysis was done in Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 21. Results: Out of the 40 participants, the mean width of right and left side of anterior teeth of the maxillary central incisors were 8.62±0.62 mm and 8.65±0.55 mm; maxillary lateral incisors were 6.97±0.74 mm and 7.11±0.78 mm; maxillary canine were 7.81±0.69 mm and 8.15±0.72 mm; mandibular central incisors were 5.37±0.4 mm and 5.43±0.37 mm; mandibular lateral incisors were 5.88±.52 mm and 6.06±0.53 mm; mandibular canine were 6.69±0.55 mm and 6.93±0.7 mm respectively. The difference between the teeth was compared with the central incisors of each side. Conclusions: Our findings of the average values of the anterior teeth and their difference from the central incisors on each side showed an agreement with the optimal relationships of anterior teeth, with the exception of the maxillary lateral incisors, which were 0.5mm larger than the values of the optimal relationship.

Diabetes is one of the leading causes of preventable mortality and morbidity among non-communicable diseases. The study aims to find out the prevalence of the good quality of life of people living with Diabetes mellitus visiting a tertiary care centre. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among type 2 diabetic patients visiting the Outpatient Department of Endocrinology in a tertiary care centre from 30 June 2022 to 20 July 2022. Ethical approval was obtained from the Institutional Review Committee. A systematic random sampling technique was used. D-39 questionnaires were administered via face-to-face interviews. Point estimate was calculated at 95% Confidence Interval. Results: Among 118 patients living with diabetes, good quality of life was seen in 97 (82.20%) (75.30-89.10, 95% Confidence Interval). This study found that the energy and mobility domain has the highest mean score of 26.7±7.8. Conclusions: The prevalence of good quality life of people living with Diabetes mellitus was found to be higher than other similar studies done in similar settings.
