Aim and objective: to evaluate the correlation between facial form and maxillary central incisor form in north Indian population. Materials and method: detection of the maxillary central incisor form was done by tracing the inverted picture of central incisor. The detection of facial form was done with the help of customised trubyte tooth indicator instrument (Dentsply/work division, dentsplyinst, USA).

Results: The agreement between face form and tooth form. There was a moderate agreement between face and tooth form (40.8%).

Conclusion: There appeared to be an moderate agreement between face form and tooth form, 40.8% to be precise, this goes with the previous literature available. It was also pointed out that the most common facial and tooth form was ovoid, followed by tapering.
