Abstract
A study to assess and compare facial and dental proportions in attractive smiles
Highlights
Patients who seek prosthodontic treatment are primarily concerned with enhancing their oral esthetics
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]
Out of 214 photographs, 33 beautiful / attractive faces were selected with VAS (Visual Analog Scale) and assessed to see whether beautiful faces matched golden proportion
Summary
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]
