To measure the visible teeth surface area of the upper and lower anterior Measurement Of Visible Teeth Surface Area Of The Upper And Lower Anterior Teeth During Speech, Using Video Photographic Method In Young Adults - A Survey. 90 subjects were selected between the age group of 18-25 years (40 male and 50 female) with mean age of 22 years. Then the subjects are asked to sit in an erect position and read the paragraph containing bilabial and sibilant words which helps in display of anterior teeth. The video camera was adjusted to the subjects mouth level at 4 feet distance. The total surface area of maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth is calculated using a photograph, followed by measurement of maximum and minimum visibility of maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth during speech is measured using video photographic method and data is subjected to compute analysis. The visible surface area of maxillary anterior is about 78.16 %, and the mandibular anterior is about 70.61% in young adults during speech.
