The Golden Proportion Revisited J. Preston 1993 In an attempt to seek mathematical assistance in developing dental esthetics, Levin advocated the use of the golden proportion for establishing tooth size and stated that “the perceived width of the maxillary central incisor is in golden proportion to the width of the lateral incisor” (1:0.618).
