Evaluation of Smile Esthetics among Orthodontists, General Dentist and Laypersons With Respect To Asymmetries of the Maxillary Incisor Edge
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 10
Abstract
Abstract: Smile plays an important role in facial expression and appearance, it is considered as the universal friendly greeting in all cultures. Study was conducted to determine perception of smile esthetics among orthodontists, general dentist and laypersons with respect to asymmetries of the maxillary incisor edge in a front smile analysis. Facial and dental esthetics plays an important role in quality of life. Esthetic concerns about the smile are often patient’s main reason for seeking dental care. From present study, it can be shown that the orthodontist and general dentists groups perceived the change in incisor edge asymmetry in a much higher frequency than the laypersons. This has implications for the choice of the procedure to be performed. Hence, as an orthodontist, we need to consider this during treatment planning, and opt for a treatment that does not alter the esthetics and harmony of the smile.
