abstract = {Dental esthetics need to be defined from the scientific perspective in order to obtain predictable
treatment outcomes and avoid the effects of subjectivisms on the part of the dental profesional. It
can be deduced that the ideal dimensions in the maxillary anterior sector are difficult to establish.
Therefore, the primary purpose of this study was to define the dimensions of the maxillary anterior
teeth and the relationships between them. In addition, an analysis was made to reinvestigate whether
they complied with the Golden proportion, the RED (Recurrent Esthetic Dental) proportion and the
Golden percentage. A total of 2304 tooth corresponding to 384 subjects were evaluated. The central
incisor presented a mean width of 8.58 mm and a height of 9.35 mm, while the lateral incisor presented
a width of 6.69 mm and a height of 7.75 mm. The mean width of the canine was 7.69 mm, with a height
of 8.68 mm. The teeth revisited in this study did not comply with the ideal dimensions in the anterior
maxillary sector as established by the Golden proportion, Golden percentage and RED. The information
obtained from this study can be clinically applied to restore the dimensions during periodontal surgery,
restorative dentistry and prosthetic rehabilitation.},
