Abstract
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to determine the ideal range of values for dental and soft tissues relationships as related to the aesthetics of smile in a young adult Nigerian population. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The 170 subjects included in this study were dental students of the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Lagos, Nigeria and the University College Hospital, Ibadan, Oyo state, Nigeria. They had an age range of 18-25 years (mean age, 21.6±2.2 years) with 102 females and 68 males. Frontal posed smile photographs were taken of all subjects. Quantitative measurements of both soft and hard tissues were made by using a Photoshop, CS, 1995-2010 adobe system incorporated. RESULT: The incisal display for an aesthetic smile in this population was 9.2mm, the smile line was an average smile and the smile index was 7.55mm. CONCLUSIONS: More than half of the study population displayed between 75 – 100% of the maxillary incisors during smile.
