Abstract

Background and Purpose: The gold standard for achieving optimal esthetics while recreating  the esthetics has been in accordance with the concept of ‘Golden Proportion’. The main purpose  for conducting the present study was to estimate an average value of mesiodistal dimensions of   the maxillary anterior teeth in the mixed population of northern India and its correlation with the
ideal values of golden proportion.  Methodology: In the present study 100 subjects were selected (50 male and 50 female).
Maxillary impressions were made using Non-aqueous elastomeric impression material and   poured with dental stone. The dimensions Maxillary anterior teeth measured using digital  vernier caliper. The widths of the teeth were measured from the mesial contact point to distal  contact point of the respective teeth.  Results: Data obtained were tabulated and subjected to one sample t-test. The proportion for  the Width of the right and left Maxillary Lateral to central Incisor was found to be 0.70 mm, and
it was not in correlation with golden proportion. For the canine to lateral incisor, it was identified  that there was a correlation with golden proportion with the results obtained was 0.60 mm.  Conclusion: The results obtained for the ratio of the Maxillary Right and Left Lateral Incisor   to Central Incisor and golden proportion were not in correlation. However, the results obtained  for the ratio of the Maxillary Right and Left Canine to Lateral Incisor and Golden Proportion  were in correlation.
