“…Central dominance is a phenomenon that states that the centrals must be the dominant teeth in smile and should display pleasing proportions, as they are the key to an aesthetic smile. There are various guidelines for establishing correct proportions in an aesthetically pleasing smile, and they are as follows: [1,3,4].…”

‘Smile is a universal language, shared by people all over the world’. It conveys a lot without saying anything at all. Our smile is of utmost importance and dental aesthetics play a vital role to create it. Smile designing (SD) consists of various components that aim to develop the overall personality of a patient. To create an aesthetic, smile is an organised and systematic approach that is required to evaluate, diagnose and resolve the problems associated with it. The ultimate goal of an aesthetic make-over is to ensure a stable masticatory system, where the oral hard and soft tissues remain in harmony. Hence this chapter aims to focus on various aspects of SD that includes its goals, components, procedure and future prospects.

“…The current esthetic requirements have led to a scientific deepening of the topic, recognizing three fundamental units of the perioral district: lips, teeth, and periodontal tissues (Bhuvaneswaran, 2010 ; Garber & Salama, 1996 ). These units are connected through lines of symmetry, proportions, and colors (Bukhary et al, 2007 ; Calamia & Wolff, 2015 ; David et al, 2015 ; Manipal et al, 2014 ). In this articulated balance, the anatomy of the gingival margins is crucial (Giancotti et al, 2011 ; Spear et al, 2006 ).…”

Objectives: To evaluate the influence of the gingival contour on the smile esthetics.The influence of size, symmetry, teeth involved in apically shifted gingival margins, and the distance and clinical training of the observer were investigated.Materials and Methods: Two groups were identified: 33 first-year dental students (inexperienced) and 40 last-year students (trained). Each observer expressed four evaluations on four different images assigning a score from 0 to 10. Using a picture of an "ideal" female smile, 10 variants were virtually created by shifting (2 and 4 mm) the gingival contour apically at different sites of the upper incisors and canines. A total of 292 evaluations were collected.Results: Considering a score >6 for a "pleasant smile," only one 4 mm single alteration at the canine gingival contour obtained an insufficient score. "Observational distance" and "clinical training" did not influence the final score, while size and symmetry of alterations displayed a significant role. Conclusions:The dental training of the observer and a close interpersonal distance seemed to be irrelevant in the esthetic perception of gingival margin alterations.
