ABSTRACT

Patients came more and more frequently to Stomatology services to improve the esthetic feature. Among the more polemic methods for esthetics examination are those based on the use of divine proportion, leading to carrying out of present paper to assess the behavior of divine proportions in the dental measurements of subjects with malocclusion using the Bolton's index. A cross-sectional and descriptive study was conducted in second to fifth years students of the Stomatology Faculty of La Habana from January, 2009 to January, 2010 using the plaster casts in 80 students aged 18 to 25. Measurements of the mesio-distal width of teeth relating some sections of them where were identified those en relation to the divine proportion according the occlusion variable. The students presenting with malocclusion were studied according the variation of Bolton's index. In the students with malocclusion, there was predominance of Bolton's index favoring a great size of anteroinferior teeth with ranks of divine proportion of 1.60.
