“…No significant differences in overall ratings were obtained between panels on the one hand and between the panels and patient group on the other hand. In accordance with the findings of other study groups [4,6,11], these results revealed that the ratings of pre-to postoperative changes towards higher facial attractiveness by orthodontists, maxillofacial surgeons, laypersons, and patients are generally in agreement, although significant correlations between ratings could be obtained only for the panels. In the recent literature, the influence of gender and age of panel members on their ratings is still disputable, and it varies among studies.…”

“…However, panel composition and assessment of data have been inconsistent and vary from study to study. On the one hand, some results suggest that preferences of facial attractiveness by laypersons, orthodontists, and surgeons are generally in agreement [5,6]. On the other hand, laypersons might be expected to give lower improvement scores after surgery than do professionals and should be less critical in their evaluation of profiles displaying dysgnathia as well as normal reference profiles [7].…”

Purpose The objective was to compare the pre-and postsurgical profile changes after surgical correction of prognathism and maxillary hypoplasia, as perceived by panels of orthodontists, maxillofacial surgeons, laypersons and patients and to identify photogrammetric changes that might be related to preferred ratings. Materials and methods Each panel consisted of six males and six females who rated sets of pre-and postsurgical lateral photographs of 20 female and 20 male patients using a five-point scale. Patients rated their own set of photographs. Pre-to postsurgical differences of photogrammetrically assessed landmarks were recorded as a surgical change.Results No significant differences in ratings between panels and patients could be detected. Significant correlation coefficients (r) were obtained between the ratings of all panel groups and between the ratings and changes in facial convexity (r = 0.351-0.542). Correlations with changes of the mentolabial angle were found to be significant for old orthodontists, male laypersons, and male patients (r = 0.332-0.609). Ratings of female and young laypersons were correlated with the horizontal changes in the lower face (r = 0.324-0.379). Conclusion Information gathered from this study will support the cooperation of the medical staff and might assist in treatment planning.

“…This scale recently gained in popularity to measure subtle differences in dental and facial attractiveness. 10,13,19 Maple et al 19 stated that grading with a continuous variable enables greater freedom in data analysis, averting bias related to preferred values, as is the case in the scale of numeric intervals.…”

“…Raters were made aware of study goals and signed a free and informed consent form. Along with the albums, each examiner received a form comprising eight rulers (visual analog scale), 10,13,19 one on each page, and were then requested to mark with a dot, identify the letter corresponding to the image, and rate each image according to their perceived attractiveness. Each judge was allowed to mark the dot anywhere on the ruler and place two or more letters at each dot, if necessary.…”

Objective: To assess the influence of buccal corridor width on smile esthetics of male and female, Caucasian and Afro-descendant subjects by means of digitally manipulated photographs, as well as compare assessments of full-face view (FFV) and closeup view of the mouth (CUVM) images. Methods: Facial photographs were taken of four adults' smile, two Caucasians and two Afro-descendants of both genders. The resulting images were digitally manipulated with the aim of rendering -from each original smile -three other smiles simulating three different buccal corridor widths, namely, narrow, medium width and Objetivo: avaliar a influência do corredor bucal na estética de sorrisos femininos e masculinos, de leucodermas e melanodermas, por meio de fotografias manipuladas, bem como comparar essa avaliação numa vista facial completa e numa vista aproximada da boca. Métodos: foram realizadas fotografias faciais do sorriso de quatro indivíduos adultos, sendo dois leucodermas e dois melanodermas, de ambos os sexos. As imagens geradas foram manipuladas a fim de produzir, a partir de cada sorriso original, três outros simulando gradações distintas de corredor bucal: estreito, médio e amplo. As imagens geradas, 12 retratando uma vista facial completa e outras 12 em vista aproximada da boca, foram avaliadas por um grupo de 60 examinadores, que indicaram, por meio de escalas visuais analógicas, o nível de atratividade de cada sorriso. Os dados foram submetidos aos testes estatísticos ANOVA e pós-teste de Tukey, para comparar os diferentes corredores bucais, e ao teste t de Student, para comparar os dois tipos de enquadramento. Resultados: os corredores bucais médios foram considerados os mais atrativos nos quatro indivíduos pesquisados, tanto na avaliação completa da face quanto na vista aproximada do sorriso (p<0,05). Na comparação entre os corredores bucais estreitos e amplos, em geral, não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa (p>0,05). Além disso, também não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa entre a análise feita pelos dois tipos de enquadramento (p>0,05). Conclusão: o corredor bucal exerceu forte influência na avaliação estética do sorriso, sendo o médio considerado o mais atrativo, não tendo havido influência da face, da etnia ou do sexo dos indivíduos.Palavras-chave: Estética dentária.

“…In a study by Cochrane et al, 13 long face profiles were ranked as more attractive than the Class II and Class III images. Finally, Maple et al 14 reported that Class II or Class III profiles, accentuated by extreme vertical deviations, were scored as the least attractive by both lay people and clinicians.…”

Objective: To test the hypothesis that lower facial height has no influence on frontal facial attractiveness and treatment need perception of lay people. Materials and Methods: Frontal facial silhouettes of a man and a woman with normal lower facial height values (male: 81.5 mm; female: 70.5 mm) were modified by increasing and decreasing their lower facial heights in steps of 1 mm to obtain frontal images with different lower facial height alterations ranging from +6 mm to 26 mm for each sex. A panel of 100 lay people scored each silhouette's attractiveness on a 100-mm visual analogue scale (VAS) and also indicated whether they would seek treatment if the image represented their own. The Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to compare the VAS scores. Results: Unaltered 61-mm and 62-mm silhouettes got the highest VAS scores. Scores were significantly lower (P # .001) as the divergence from the normal value exceeded 2 mm. Beyond +3 mm and 24 mm in females and +4 mm and 23 mm in males the difference between the scores became statistically insignificant. At 64 mm, more than 75% of the raters elected to have treatment.
