Tooth size (Mesiodistal, Buccolingual and Occluso-gingival) has an important role in pediatric dentistry as it helps for fabrication of appropriate sizes of zirconia crowns for primary anterior teeth and Stainless-Steel crowns for primary posterior teeth. Tooth size differs among and within populations.
