ASSESSMENT OF FACIAL GOLDEN PROPORTION IN A SAMPLE OF DUHOK POPULATION (PHOTOGRAMMETRIC STUDY)
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Beautiful face proportions are likely to approximate the Divine proportion or golden ratio (1.618:1). This study set out to determine the facial proportions of adults from Duhok and to compare the findings to what are known as golden or divine proportions. Also, to assess the proportions of males and females who joined up in this study.
Methods: 176 participants (88 females, 88 males) with well-balanced facial features and class I Angle's malocclusion were chosen and frontal photographs were taken for them. Facial proportion in height and width were assessed and compared in both genders. The facial golden proportion was established.
Results: Based on the results, more deviation from golden ratios found in male faces than female faces. Male and female ratios were noticeably varied from one another and from other world’s population.
Conclusion: In comparison to the golden ratio, the population of Duhok has balance in facial soft-tissue. Nevertheless, some variables deviate somewhat from the golden ratio
