  • Title: The golden number: applications to cranio-facial evaluation.
    Author: Amoric M.
    Journal: Funct Orthod; 1995; 12(1):18-21, 24-5. PubMed ID: 8613109.
    Abstract:
    The Golden Number, expressing in numbers what the ancient Greeks called the "Divine Proportion" has a value of 1.618. This number is found in numerous natural phenomena, geometrical propositions and human architectural constructions. These proportions are worth comparing to those of the human face. The author shows that this "golden proportion" is found in many cephalometric measurements and in various stages of facial growth.
