“…The results of our study show that high and average smiles are more prevalent in women than in men. Several studies have shown that men tend to have smiles that are lower or with no dental display, due to the fact that they generally have longer upper lips than women . The smile height is associated with the variables of gingival display and total gingival display, which, in this study, are higher in women than in men.…”

The aim of this study was to determine - on the basis of the most recent yearly listings - whether there were any common measurable variables associated with the smiles of the world's most influential people. A total of 168 subjects were selected from the lists of Time magazine's 100 most influential people during the period 2006-2010. Smiling frontal view photographs were obtained. Thirty-six variables for each subject were traced and measured using photogrammetric analysis to obtain qualitative and quantitative proportions and measurements. Differences with respect to gender, occupation and year of listing were tested to 95% significance, using the Student's t-test and the Kruskal-Wallis test. The chi-squared test was used for qualitative variables. Irrespective of gender or occupation, the similar quantifiable characteristics of the smiles of the most influential subjects were the following: vertical upper lip proportion, smile width, incisor exposure, buccal corridor ratio, smile symmetry index and intra-dental proportions (P > 0·05). Other qualitative standards were as follows: smile symmetry, the buccal corridors and smile arc, direction of occlusal cant and the degree of deviation between maxillary and facial midlines. Differences were found for gingival display and smile height parameters (P = 0·001). The smiles of the world's most influential people revealed common standards, regardless of occupation or gender, which may play a decisive role in the expressions of influential faces.

“…The plaque score was measured using the method of Silness and Loe. The following features were noted: existence and type of restoration (healthy tooth without filling(s); composite filling(s); ceramic veneer; faceted crown; metal ceramic crown; and full ceramic crown), and fracture marks on the upper anterior teeth and crowded teeth. Subjects self‐reported the presence of bleeding gums (on a scale from 1 = never to 4 = always).…”

“…More women displayed gums than men in a 2: 1 ratio. Subjects with gingival display had significantly more horizontal and vertical overlap of anterior teeth compared to those who did not display gingivae when smiling [13]. The described study does use the dental biometrics measures, but not in the context of disease identification or dental problems of a patient.…”

The need for automated identification of a disease makes the issue of medical biometrics very current in our society. Not all biometric tools available provide real-time feedback. We introduce gas discharge visualization (GDV) technique as one of the biometric tools that have the potential to identify deviations from the normal functional state at early stages and in real time. GDV is a nonintrusive technique to capture the physiological and psychoemotional status of a person and the functional status of different organs and organ systems through the electrophotonic emissions of fingertips placed on the surface of an impulse analyzer. This paper first introduces biometrics and its different types and then specifically focuses on medical biometrics and the potential applications of GDV in medical biometrics. We also present our previous experience with GDV in the research regarding autism and the potential use of GDV in combination with computer science for the potential development of biological pattern/biomarker for different kinds of health abnormalities including cancer and mental diseases.
