Tjan et al.
- Smile type
High - reveals total length of mx anteriors + contiguous band of gingiva, 10.7%
Average - reveals 75-100% of mx anteriors and interproximal gingiva only, 68.94%
Low - displays <75% mx ant, 20.48% - Parallelism of maxillary incisal curve with lower lip
• Parallel in 84.8% of subjects, 13.9% straight, 1.3% reverse) - Position of incisal curve relative to touching lower lip
• Touching 47%, not touching 35%, covered 15% - Number of teeth displayed in smile
• 6 ants 7%, 6 ant + 1PM 49%, 6 ant + 2PM 41%, to 1M 4%
Tarnow’s Numbers
5mm or less from contact to interproximal bone = 100% papilla
6mm - 56%
7mm - 27%
