ABSTRACT:
An instrument particularly adapted for use in dentistry but capable of a wide variety of other applications and including a divider-caliper type instrument typically having two members of equal length and substantially corresponding configuration pivotally secured to one another wherein opposite ends of each member is defined by different sized points. A scale format is formed on an exposed surface on at least one of the members and is based on the golden proportion of 1 to 0.618. Accordingly, a plurality of scale settings are disposed in predetermined spaced apart relation to one another based upon formulized calculations resulting in use of the caliper instrument in dental applications including direct oral procedures, dental laboratory techniques, cephalometric analyses as well as aiding in the establishment of arch form, tooth size and outline form as well as cusp-fossa proportions and the accurate and simple placement of developmental grooves.
