Abstract :The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical crown dimensions of maxillary anterior teeth in the Turkish population by assessing their width, height, and proportional relationships. The study also aimed to determine the compatibility of the data with the Golden Ratio and the Recurring Esthetic Dental proportion. Additionally, a questionnaire was conducted to assess the aesthetic expectations of participants. The mesiodistal and gingiva-incisal dimensions of the maxillary anterior teeth of 130 participants (84 female, 46 male) were measured using digital calipers. Two physicians took the measurements, and the average of the values was used. Intraclass Correlation Coefficient was employed to assess inter-physician agreement. Prior to measurements, participants completed an 11-question survey on aesthetic perceptions. One Sample t-Test and Runs Test were used to examine the relationship between the data and the Golden Ratio and Recurring Esthetic Dental proportions. Point Biserial Correlation Analysis was used to compare the relationship between the survey results and the obtained measurements. Statistically significant differences were found between the ratios of maxillary anterior teeth and Recurring Esthetic Dental in both genders (p 0.05). The proportions of anterior teeth in the Turkish population are closer to the Golden Ratio than the Recurring Esthetic Dental ratio. Tooth proportions do not significantly influence aesthetic perception, as personal preferences and other factors play a greater role in shaping aesthetic perceptions
