Introduction:The golden proportion is the sharing considered as the most harmonious of a size in two unequal parts. Its numerical value is of 1.618. Several authors demonstrated that anterior teeth dimensions of the Caucasians are based on the golden section and suggest that the esthetic assembly of the prosthetic teeth holds account of it. The present study searched for a correlation between anterior teeth dimensions and the golden proportion in the African melanoderm. Materials and Methods: Our study has been carried out in the School of Dentistry, Cocody-Abidjan Felix Houphouet Boigny University, Cote d'ivoire, Africa. 80 melanoderm Ivoirian subjects old 18-32 years were selected. Measurements were carried out on the anterior teeth and ratios were calculated between various measurements according to those established for the Caucasians. Diff erent relationships of the coronary mesiodistal diameter of the anterior teeth were calculated between themselves. The statistical parameter used is null hypothesis test. Results: The comparison of our results with the golden value for the Caucasians shows diff erences, not only from 1.618, but it is also inferior. Conclusion: Compared analysis of the median values obtained with the standard of beauty made it possible to note that there is not a correlation between dimensions of the teeth of the subjects of our study and the golden proportion.
