Summary

Introduction

Patients who seek prosthodontic treatment are primarily concerned with enhancing their oral esthetics. An individuals dentofacial appearance influences social attraction and relationships [1,2,3]. Regardless of how attractive the teeth appear in isolation, if spatially they don’t relate to rest of the facial structures, the overall impression will not be esthetic [4]. Attractive faces generally follow the facial third proportionality concept. Attractive faces tend to have common proportion and relationship that generally differ from normative values. More attractive faces display optimal balance when they present in proportions [5]
