Studies with restoration of anterior teeth such as crowns, veneers, fillings, etc. And facial cosmetic surgery such as rhinoplasty were excluded. Results: These studies illustrated that in different ethnic groups the relations are different, meaning teeth with different height are better have appropriate proportion due to their heights to achieve pleasant esthetic appraisal. Also correlation between width of maxillary anterior teeth and Interpupillary Distance (IPD) or Inner Canthal Distance (ICD) or Interalar Distance (IAD) have been reported. Conclusion: These studies showed that gender has nothing or a little to the correlation between maxillary anterior teeth width and facial measurements such as IPD, ICD, IAD.
