   Abstract:	Clinical anthropometry is used for evaluation of the features of the craniofacial region. The aim of this study was to determine the anthropometric variables which best discriminate a young population with Down’s Syndrome (DS) from healthy subjects and to produce a craniofacial anthropometric profile (CAP) specific for DS. The study was performed on a sample of 56 subjects (33 male and 23 female) with DS, divided into two age groups (7-12 and 13-18 years). The control group comprised 322 healthy subjects (151 male and 171 female) of the same age as the examined groups. Twenty standard craniofacial measurements were measured with instruments according to Martin and in accordance with Farkas protocol. The measured values of all subjects with DS were expressed by mean and standard deviation. CAP was performed by converting individual measurements to standard values. Deviation from mean values was considered significant when z-value deviated by more than +2 or less than -2. The results showed that the variables which discriminated the group of subjects with DS from healthy subjects in the subnormal area in the first age group were - length of the head, length of the auricles and head circumference, and in the second age group - length of the head, length of the auricles, width of the auricles and head circumference. CAP can be considered a useful and objective method in defining specific craniofacial features of DS.

   Abstract:	This study was intended to check the opportunity of applying the rule according to which the length of the upper artificial central incisors can be determined by dividing the distance from the center of the incisive papillae to foveola palatina by factor 4, in our population. Measurements were made on 115 stone casts of dentulous and 105 casts of edentulous individuals with satisfactory trial dentures. No significant differences were found, either for the tooth length or for the distance between the incisive papilla and foveola pallatina between the dentulous and edentulous group (p > 0.05). Although both differences were not significant, t value was higher for the length of the upper central incisor (t = 1.1) than for the distance from the incisal papilla to foveola palatina (t = 0.16). The main reason for this fact is that the distance from the incisive papilla to foveola palatina does not change with age or teeth extraction, while the bigger length of artificial teeth, obtained in this study, can be attributed to elongation of the upper lip and reduced anterior face height in the edentulous patient.The divider calculated by dividing the distance from the incisive papilla to foveola palatine by the length of the upper central incisor, for our edentulous population was 4.34 and the difference from the proposed one (4) was significant (p < 0.05). However, as the difference in the tooth length would only be 0.7 mm if we used the proposed divider 4, we can recommend the use of this factor as it does not cause discomfort and artificial teeth must be grinded and reduced while setting. This method could be helpful for students and practitioners, since it gives some real numerical values for teeth length.
