“…Finally, the dawn of the "dentogenic restoration" arrived, and in 1955 Frush and Fischer proposed selection of teeth on the basis of the sex, personality, and age of the patient (Frush and Fisher, 1955, 1956, 1958. Since all patients possessed these three essential factors, namely-sex, personality, and age-researchers reasoned that the "SPA" factor needed to be interpreted to optimize the esthetic appearance of the prosthesis (Stein and Stein, 1936;Subasree et al, 2016). According to Frush, an ideal dentogenic prosthetic restoration should cre-ate psychologic as well as physiologic comfort for the patient and therefore requires a proper interpretation of the sex, personality, as well as the age of the patient.…”

“…This is done through a detailed consideration of the denture tooth and its position, which, if done properly by the dentist, reveals the personality as well as the physiologic age of the patient. This, in turn, will give the edentulous patient teeth that have a natural and authentic appearance (Stein and Stein, 1936;Vijayalakshmi and Ganapathy, 2016).…”

“…teeth. Frush believed that a dentogenic restoration would give the denture wearer mental well being and comfort (Stein and Stein, 1936).

According to many authors, the form of upper anterior teeth can be decidedby the sex of the patient among many other factors.…”

Maxillary anterior teeth are of utmost importance as their size and form play an important role not only in facial aesthetics but also dental aesthetics. Aesthetics is one of the primary concerns of patients seeking restorative treatment. Due to this reason, dentists restore maxillary anterior teeth in harmony with the facial appearance of the patients. The aim of the study is to evaluate the incorporation of SPA factor in Fixed dental prosthesis and prevalence of different personalities and its correlation with gender and age. A Cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted in an institution, on randomly selected individuals. The study group consisted of adult patients who attended the outpatient Department of Prosthodontics from June 2019- March 2020. Data collection was done and the Chi-square test was used to explore the relationship between two variables.41% of males accepted treatment. 46% of females accepted treatment. 72% Treatment acceptance was found in the young age group S factor was not followed by 17.8% case, P factor was not followed by 17.3%case, A factor was not followed by 20.4%case SPA plays an important role in the esthetic outcome of the prosthesis, so it should be incorporated in the treatment. More awareness and knowledge is needed for implementation clinically in each and every case. Young adults are more likely to accept esthetic smile makeover treatment, whereas other age groups are not. Accepting maybe because of socioeconomic status or lack of awareness. So it's our responsibility to conduct health education and awareness programs at the society level for patients and also clinical awareness among practitioners to improve the smile quality.
