“…Our results revealed that females felt a higher psychosocial impact of dental aesthetics and aesthetic concern (AC) compared to males, and lower dental self-con dence (DSC). These results are in agreement with previous reports that observed less self-con dence in girls compared to boys [20,21]. Also in agreement, previous studies found higher dental concern and oral demands with females than males, who are more comfortable with their dental appearance [22,23].…”

Background: Dental appearance affects facial beauty, social interaction and psychological well-being particularly among adolescents. The aim of the current study was to determine factors affecting adolescent dental self-confidence and satisfaction with dental appearance in Saudi Arabia.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia among 3500 students attending intermediate and high schools. Data was collected from 2637 students using the translated Arabic version of the psychosocial impact of dental esthetics questionnaire (PIDAQ) in addition to questions about smile esthetics satisfaction and demographic variables including; gender, age, school grade, and parental level of education. Statistical analysis was performed by using logistic regression to assess the effect of demographical variables on PIDAQ and its domains at 5% significance level. Results: About 80% of the participants were satisfied or somewhat satisfied with their smiles. Tooth alignment and tooth color were the most cited reasons for adolescents’ dissatisfaction about their smile, 34% and 33% respectively. Females and participants’ fathers’ university education figured in a statistically significant way regarding higher PIDAQ and aesthetic concerns. Females were 70%, and those with fathers’ university education were 22% more likely to have a negative psychological impact. Females expressed aesthetic concerns nearly two times more than males. Participants whose fathers possessed university education had an aesthetic concern 1.25 times more compared to those whose fathers had no school or limited school education. Females and those with mothers who had university education were less likely to have positive dental self-confidence. Conclusions: Most adolescents exhibited satisfaction with their own smiles. Smile dissatisfaction in the remaining participants was related to teeth alignment, color and shape. Females were more concerned with dental esthetics and smile satisfaction than males. Females and participants whose fathers had a university education exhibited higher psychosocial impact than males and those with or without school education. However, males showed greater self-confidence in their dental aesthetics.

“…In case of DSC, the results showed that females and participants with mothers' having university education expressed less positive DSC and high SI. These results are in agreement with previous reports that observed less self-con dence of girls compared to boys [27,28]. In contrast, Chen et al [26] found that males compared to females, showed more adverse aesthetic attitude and dental self-con dence when anterior teeth were missing, and higher improvement of the social impact, aesthetic atti tude and dental self-con dence after implantation [26].…”

The aim of the current study was to investigate the effect of dental appearance satisfaction on the psychosocial impact of dental esthetics among Saudi adolescents.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia among students attending intermediate and high schools.

Statistical analysis was performed by using logistic regression to assess the effect of demographical variables on PIDAQ and its domains at 5% significance level. Results: Females and participants’ fathers’ university education were statistically significantly having higher PIDAQ and aesthetic concern. Females were 70%, and those with fathers’ university education were 22% more likely to have a negative psychological impact. Females and those with mothers’ university education were less likely to have positive dental self-confidence. Conclusions: Most of adolescents exhibited satisfaction with their own smiles.

“…A study by Jung ( 27 ) observed that the girls were generally less self-confident than the boys, in contrast to the present findings. A number of studies have examined the association between aesthetics and gender and have concluded that women are generally more demanding with regard to beauty and aesthetics, more affected by what they consider facial and corporal aesthetic defects and more critical in general regarding everything related to aesthetics ( 13 , 28 - 32 ). According to several studies ( 1 , 12 , 16 ), women present a greater psychosocial impact than men.…”

BackgroundAwareness of the influence of personality traits such as self-esteem and perfectionism on the aesthetic self-image can help clinicians to improve their patients’ satisfaction and quality of life. The main objective of this study was to examine the relationship between self-esteem, perfectionism and the psychosocial impact of dental aesthetics, and their association with gender.Material and MethodsA descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study was conducted in a sample of 301 students of the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry of the University of Valencia, aged between 18 and 30 years. Each participant was asked to complete a survey comprising three questionnaires: PIDAQ (Psychosocial Impact of Dental Aesthetics Questionnaire), MPS (Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale) and RSS (Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale). The response rate was 79%.ResultsThe mean age was 20.8 years; 226 were women (75 %) and 75 were men (25 %). A negative correlation (Pearson = -0.387) was found between the total PIDAQ score and self-esteem. The correlation with perfectionism was found to be positive (Pearson = 0.281). On comparing the questionnaire and subscale scores by gender, the only statistically significant differences were in perfectionism (men 97.4, women 89.1) and self-confidence (men 22.1, women 23.5).ConclusionsThe students most affected by poor dental aesthetics had lower self-esteem and higher levels of perfectionism. The men presented higher levels of perfectionism than the women, while the latter displayed greater self-confidence in their dental aesthetics. Clinicians should pay greater attention to these traits and to their implications for treating these patients. Key words:Psychosocial impact of dental aesthetics questionnaire, multidimensional perfectionism scale, rosenberg self-esteem scale, students.
