The dimensions and the perceived</div> <div>width of anterior teeth were measured. The perceived width ratio was compared with the golden proportion of 0.618. Golden standard was</div> <div>calculated and compared with standard value (80%).The data was analyzed by SPSS version 21.</div> <div>Results: There was statistically signi􀃶cant difference in mean perceived width of maxillary lateral incisor to central incisor and canine to</div> <div>lateral incisor. The mean width &ndash;to-height ratio was 80.1429 which were statistically signi􀃶cant from golden standard (80%).</div> <div>Conclusion: Ideal golden proportion (0.618) and golden standard (80%) does not exists is Zul􀃶 population.</div>
