| Core Tip |
An aesthetically pleasing smile is not only dependent on elements such as tooth position, size, shape, and color, but also on the amount of gingiva exposed and lip positioning. All these facial features are essential to achieve a harmonious form, emphasizing the importance of physical appearance and facial attractiveness. However, the concept of attractiveness varies between individuals influenced by uncontrollable factors such as cultural differences, as well as their personal and social background. Several studies have shown significant differences in aesthetic perception concerning various factors, including the presence of a black triangle, inflamed gingiva, diastema, malocclusion, midline shift, facial asymmetry, buccal corridor and gingival display. Many studies have reported significant differences on the aesthetic perception among laypersons, and dentists. Although there is an existing body of research, a deeper comprehension of how dental appearance are perceived is required. Additionally, there are limited scientific data regarding the relationship between variations in skin color and tooth shade values in terms of perceived attractiveness. There was no widely recognized scientific relationship between skin color and smile perception. Therefore, the aims of this study are to compare perception of dental aesthetic among patients, laypersons, and professional dentists. |
