Analysis of Golden Proportion, Recurring Esthetic Dental Proportion and Golden Percentage in Adult Saudi Arabian Population

Analysis of Golden Proportion, Recurring Esthetic Dental Proportion and Golden Percentage in Adult Saudi Arabian Population

Abstract

Objectives: The objective of the current study was to analyze the proportions of maxillary anterior teeth with respect to golden proportion (GP), recurring esthetic dental proportion (RED), in addition to width/height (W/H) and golden percentage ratios in adult Saudi population. Materials and Methods: Maxillary gypsum casts obtained from 200 adults were photographed using standardized frontal digital imaging. The apparent and actual anterior teeth dimensions were measured using Image J software and digital calipers, respectively, for the calculation of existence of GP, RED, W/H ratio and golden percentage ratio. Calculated ratios of the apparent widths of the teeth were statistically analyzed using descriptive analysis and compared with their respective esthetic proportion values using a one sample t-test at α < 0.05. Results: The anterior teeth exhibited significantly greater width and length in males than in females (P < 0.05). The proportions of the maxillary incisors deviated significantly from the GP (62%), except for the left lateral incisor/left central incisor ratio in males. Additionally, these proportions differed significantly from the RED (70%) and golden percentage. Moreover, the W/H ratio of the maxillary central incisor has statistically exceeded the established optimal value of 80%. Conclusions: The GP was exclusively observed in maxillary left lateral incisor/left central incisor, and only in males. All other measured proportions diverged significantly from GP and RED. Furthermore, the W/H ratio for maxillary central incisor significantly differed from the ideal 80%, in both genders. Keywords: Golden proportion, Recurrent dental proportion, Golden percentage, Width/length ration, Maxillary anterior teeth, Saudi Arabian adults.
