Aim: To evaluate the existence of golden proportion and golden standard in Zul􀃶 population.

Materials and Methods: Dental casts of the 350 maxillary arches was selected. The dimensions and the perceived

width of anterior teeth were measured. The perceived width ratio was compared with the golden proportion of 0.618. Golden standard was

calculated and compared with standard value (80%).The data was analyzed by SPSS version 21.

Results: There was statistically signi􀃶cant difference in mean perceived width of maxillary lateral incisor to central incisor and canine to

lateral incisor. The mean width –to-height ratio was 80.1429 which were statistically signi􀃶cant from golden standard (80%).

Conclusion: Ideal golden proportion (0.618) and golden standard (80%) does not exists is Zul􀃶 population.
