Abstract

---

Introduction: Esthetic research has found several variables contributing to a lovely face. The notion of the "golden share" or "golden ratio" may prove beneficial among these variables. Many articles and reading material have been suggested as surface-level assets for reestablishing foremost maxillary teeth. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study included 150 male and female volunteers aged 18 to 40 years for evaluating the breadth and height of the maxillary front teeth, referred to as the gold standard. Under standard conditions, standardized frontal photos will be obtained from each participant. Alginate will be used to create dental castings of the maxillary arch. Results: Participants of right central to right lateral scored high with F (1, 98) =.003, p>.05 with male participants (M=.772, SD =.127)and female participants (M=.771, SD =.146) followed by participants of left central to left lateral F (1, 98) = .005, p>.05, right canine to right lateral F (1, 98) = 2.60, p>.05 and left canine to left lateral F (1, 98) =.153, p>.05,respectively. Conclusion: The golden proportion did not exist between the apparent widths of maxillary anterior teeth.

Keywords: Golden proportion, Saudi population, esthetics, facial profile.
