Evaluation of maxillary anterior teeth and their relation to the golden proportion in Malaysian population

The maxillary anterior teeth are important in achieving pleasing dental aesthetics. Various methods are used to measure the size and form of them, including the golden proportion between their perceived widths, and the width-to-height ratio, referred to as the golden standard. The purpose of this st...
