“…It has been reported that missing anterior teeth had a significant negative effect on the perception of esthetic [ 30 , 31 ]. In contrast, orthodontic treatment or orthognathic/plastic surgery had a significant positive effect on esthetic perception [ 32 ]. We excluded subjects with these features or treatments to avoid any confounding factors that might affect their esthetic perception.…”

Background The perception of dentofacial esthetics differs considerably between patients and dentists. Patient's expectations regarding his/her esthetics are important and should be assessed ahead of any planning of esthetic treatment. The aim of this study was to explore the differences in perception of orofacial appearance by laypersons with different social and demographic status. Materials and methods Self-administered questionnaires were distributed to 400 subjects. The questionnaire comprised three parts; the first part addressed the demographic variables. The second part queried about dental prosthesis, orthognathic or plastic surgery, and/or ongoing or previous orthodontic treatment. The third part included the Arabic version of the-8-item Orofacial Esthetic Scale (OES-Ar) whose responses were scored in the 5-point Likert scale. These scores were compared by different grouping factors (age, gender, marital status, and education) using non-parametric Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal Willis tests with 95% confidence interval (α > 0.05). Results A total of 268 questionnaires were eligible for analysis, representing 67% response rate. The satisfaction with facial profile appearance was the highest (4.0±1.1) followed by facial appearance (3.9±1.1), while the color of teeth was the least satisfying item (3.1±1.3). No significant differences were found between age groups for the mean summary score as well as for each item independently. No significant difference was found between both sexes except for the last item "overall impression". Married subjects rated one item (alignment of teeth)

“…Visual perception is a condition for appreciation of what is beautiful, and can readily detect what is out of harmony and balance [2,3]. This fact creates a challenge for the professional, who must apply their knowledge in the elaboration of a scientifically adequate treatment plan, and at the same time, positively meet the esthetic expectations of the patient and obtain the observers' approval [2,4].…”

Objective: Facial appearance has become an important factor of social interaction. The perception of patients regarding the changes promoted by treatment has become a focus of study today. Thus, the proposal of the present study was to evaluate the esthetic perception of lay people regarding esthetic periodontal changes. Method: The total sample comprised 180 individuals divided into three different age groups (15-19, 35-44, and 65-74 years). Nine images with digital alterations in the gingival contour were used. One of the images served as an esthetic standard for the research (ideal image). The images were presented to the evaluators using slide show software (Microsoft PowerPoint 2013, Microsoft, California). Was used the Wilcoxon, Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney test. The level of significance was 5% (α = 0.05). Results: Statistical differences were found between the esthetic perception of different age groups. The sample was composed only of lay people of three different age groups, and it was evident that the younger age group has a more accurate perception regarding changes in the gingival contour. Conclusion: The changes in the gingival contour perceived as less attractive were the changes between the central incisors. The younger age group had a more accurate esthetic perception in this study. KEYWORDSPeriodontics; Gingival esthetics; Perception; Esthetics.

“…Few recent studies have recently re-evaluated the question whether dental education has a significant effect on one's aesthetic perception. 13,14,15 Whilst each study provided ample data and evaluation, none of these above studies compared dental students to medical students in the same cohort, who would be of similar age, social and cultural norms and gender. These are influential factors for the perception of smile aesthetics.…”

Objectives: Acquiring the ability to identify deviations in dental aesthetic norms has been considered as an essential skill for the development of a dental professional. The timing and quality of this development of aesthetic perception has not been explicitly discussed in the dental education literature. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of dental training on the development of smile aesthetic perception, and to compare this perception between dental students and medical students in a similar cohort.Methods: One-hundred dental and medical students were invited to complete a self-administered questionnaire, designed to evaluate eight images; using a visual analogue scale (1 least attractive; 100 most attractive). The students rated the smile aesthetics of one 'model' smile image, and seven digitally modified smiles representing major variations in smile features. Data were analyzed using the independent student's t-test.Results: forty-four male and fifty-five female participants were successfully recruited, with a response rate of 99%. Dental students' ratings of smile aesthetics were significantly lower than medical students for seven of the eight images (p<0.05). This difference was greatest for the model smile image, and least for the diminutive lateral incisors image. There were no statistically significant gender-related differences. Conclusions:Within the limitation of this study, the dental curriculum has a significant impact on developing students' perception of dental aesthetics. Longitudinal studies with larger samples sizes, are needed to examine if progress through the dental curriculum affects students' perception of dental aesthetics.
