“…Or is it simply that dental students comprise a special group in this respect? The 2016 study of Strajnic and colleagues [26] failed to find gender difference in self-perception and satisfaction with dental appearance in patients (i.e. laypersons), which supports the former hypothesis.…”

Background How dental education influences students' dental and dentofacial esthetic perception has been studied for some time, given the importance of esthetics in dentistry. However, no study before has studied this question in a large sample of students from all grades of dental school. This study sought to fill that gap. The aim was to assess if students' dentofacial esthetic autoperception and heteroperception are associated with their actual stage of studies (grade) and if autoperception has any effect on heteroperception.

“…It can be argued that advanced cognition may dominate effects of cultural or behavioral factors that have effect on selfperception of appearance. 14 In this study, high percentage of participants with bachelor's level of education was significantly more satisfied with their dental appearance during smiling compared to the other educational categories, while tooth color did not show to vary between different educational levels. On the contrary, previous reports have suggested that respondents with high education levels were more satisfied with the color of their teeth and had no desire for whiter teeth than those with lower levels of education.…”

“…This finding is in line with the Turkish and Serbian studies in which females demonstrated higher dissatisfaction compared with males with no significant differences. 14,15 However, Malaysian study showed significantly higher dissatisfaction of teeth color among females compared to the males with significant differences between them. 19 In our study, home bleaching and crest whitening strips were significantly used by the females as a method for tooth whitening.…”

“…This finding is similar to the Serbian study. 14 Whenever dental esthetic was discussed, the color of the teeth was considered as a major factor. Participants in previous studies have shown their interest toward improving their appearance by teeth whitening.…”

Aims: This study aimed to identify the self-perceived acceptable and pleasant smile characteristics and preferred dental esthetic treatments among laypersons from Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Materials and methods: This was a cross-sectional survey conducted among laypeople in Riyadh city. A structured, close-ended, and selfadministered questionnaire was distributed through social media to assess the participant's satisfaction with their smiles and desire to improve their smiles through various esthetic treatment modalities. Results: Majority of the participants were female (87%, n = 783) compared to the male (13%, n = 117). A total of 355 (39.4%) subjects were dissatisfied with the color of their teeth and the level of dissatisfaction was higher among female, 317 (89.3%) compared to the male, 38 (10.7%). Moreover, younger participants showed significantly higher dissatisfaction with color of their teeth compared to the other age groups (p = 0.002). Gender (p = 0.001) and age (p = 0.000) of the study subjects were found to be significantly associated with different whitening procedures. Similarly, education of the study participant is significantly associated with satisfaction with the appearance of teeth during smiling (p = 0.028). Pointed canines (75.7%), gummy smile (88.6%), wide smile (95.7%), and gap between the teeth (99.4%) were found to be significantly less attractive among study participants. Conclusion:The findings of this study revealed that perception of color and dental appearance of the teeth varies among different subjects. Hence, understanding the layperson's opinion about the color of the teeth and appearance is important parameters in designing esthetically attractive smile for the patients. Clinical significance: Laypeople's perception of esthetically pleasing smile is influenced by age, gender, and education of the individuals. Hence, while designing esthetically pleasing smile, these factors should be considered to get best clinical outcomes.
