Abstract Objectives: To clinically quantify the apico-incisal height of interproximal areas directly in patients’ mouths. Methodology: Thirty participants (11 females and 9 males, mean age=26±1.5 years) were recruited into this study. Measurement of interproximal contact areas was carried out directly in patients’ mouths using digital caliper (TERENSA, USA) with measuring accuracy of 0.01mm. The interproximal contact areas that were measured are: central incisor to central incisor, central incisor to lateral incisor, lateral incisor to canine, and canine to first premolar on both sides of the jaw. Statistical significance was based on probability values less than 0.05 (p
