The aim of the present study was to investigate any possible relation between stature of an individual and different dental measurements. Materials and Methods: Three parameters of odontometry were studied on 90 subjects, namely– intercanine width (ICW), interpremolar width (IPW), mesiodistal dimension of six permanent maxillary anterior teeth (SUM). Results: A highly significant correlation was noted between both ICW and stature, and between stature and the summative mesiodistal dimension of six permanent maxillary anterior teeth . There was no significant correlation between IPW and height . Conclusion: The current study successfully concludes that both ICW and mesiodistal dimension of six permanent maxillary anterior are good predictors of height of an individual, thus supplementing other methods of identification
