The main purpose of this study was to compare the facial and teeth measurements and their relationships in male and female. A total of 200 medical and dental students (68 males and 132 females) participated in this study from March 2016 to July 2016. The studied facial measurements were bizygomatic width (BZW), inter-pupillary distance (IPD), mouth width (MW), nose width (NW), inner-canthi distance (ICD) and eye width (EW). Teeth measurements were measured from the study model made from each participant. Then, teeth measurements studied were central incisor width (CIW) and inter-canine distance (ICaD). Statistical analyses were done using SPSS 20.0 with the level of significance (α) = 0.05. Independent-Sample T test was used to compare the facial and teeth measurements between males and females. Independent-Samples T test revealed that there was significant difference in all the facial measurements (BZW, IPD, MW, NW, ICD and EW) and teeth measurements (ICaD and CIW) in males and females (p ＜0.05). Pearson Correlations show that significant correlation of the CIW with IPD, MW and EW. The study reveals that males have broader face, wide mouth, nose and eyes in comparison to females. It showed that all the measured facial measurements (BZW, IPD, MW, NW, ICD and EW) and teeth measurements (ICaD and CIW) were significantly greater in males than females (p ＜0.05). The ratios of ICaD/CIW in males and females were 4.46 and 4.45, respectively. These findings of this study help in the teeth selection and esthetic rehabilitation of maxillary anterior teeth in male and females.
