Golden proportion assessment between maxillary and mandibular teeth on Indian population

PURPOSE: This study evaluated the existence of golden proportion between the widths of the maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth in Indian population. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The clinical tooth width measurements were recorded with the digital vernier calipers on 576 patients of both sexes in the a...

description PURPOSE: This study evaluated the existence of golden proportion between the widths of the maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth in Indian population. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The clinical tooth width measurements were recorded with the digital vernier calipers on 576 patients of both sexes in the age group of 21 - 30 years. Flexible ruler was used to determine the width of maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth on the patients by the same operator. The data obtained was statistically analyzed using paired student t-test (α=.05). RESULTS: The golden proportion was not found between the width of the right central and lateral incisors in 53% of women and 47% of men. The results revealed the golden percentage was rather inconstant in terms of relative tooth width. CONCLUSION: The golden proportion is an inappropriate method to relate the successive widths of the maxillary anterior teeth in Indian population.
