Protocols for standardization regarding golden proportion in facial profile analysis

The argument whether the well renowned composition – the golden section, a number approximate equal to 0.618 – holds the key to the secret of beauty, is an enigma which has existed from the time of ancient Greeks with Fechner being one of the first to conduct study on golden proportion in the 1980s. The normal human face was considered by Ricketts to be the most beautifully perfect structure in all of the animal kingdom. In an attempt to study the face, the “divine proportion” was explored in relation to the Dentofacial complex, claiming that a number of golden relationships existed in the faces, Cephalogram, and study casts of those considered having outstanding beauty. There has to be set protocols to assess facial profile analysis based on different criteria. Here, we have taken a call to review for assessment of craniofacial morphology in relation golden proportion.
