Evaluation of Golden Proportion Between Maxillary Anterior Teeth of South Indian Population
Journal Title: Dentistry – Open Journal - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
Golden proportion is a proportion frequently present in nature and is considered as a means of achieving harmony in the teeth. It forms an important aspect of aesthetic dentistry as it deals with the restoration of the maxillary anterior teeth in relation to their widths. Aim: The study was conducted to evaluate the presence of golden proportion between the maxillary anterior teeth in south Indian population by examining their widths. The study also aimed to evaluate the existing ratio present in the population Materials and Methods: The study was conducted over a period of two months, March and April, 2014. 200 individuals including 100 male and 100 female patients were selected for the study based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The measurements were made using Vernier calliper. Result: Golden proportion was not prevalent in the south Indian population and did not serve as an adequate guideline to be applied to all maxillary anterior teeth. Conclusion: Golden proportion is not a suitable method to correlate the maxillary anterior teeth widths in the south Indian population and cannot be applied as an absolute rule.
