Aesthetic Value of the Relationship between the Shapes of the Face and Permanent Upper Central Incisor

Abstract

The relationship between the shapes of face and teeth has been analyzed for esthetic purposes and exploited commercially. The methodology to assess this correlation, described in the literature, does not enable reliable application of the concepts. Digital photos of face and incisors of 100 youths were measured with the software Image Tool 3.0 and classified as to shape. The same photographs were also analyzed and classified by a visual criterion. Statistical analysis of the metrical classification was performed by Pearson's correlation coefficient. The Kappa test was used to determine the coefficient of agreement between the observers and the obtained data, and to assess the agreement between both classifications (metrical and visual). The classificatory analysis made by the observers indicated a marked level of disagreement, also identified between their classification and that obtained by metrical analysis. The results indicated no relationship between the shapes of the face and the central incisor.

Photographic Analysis of Macro- and Micro-Aesthetic Appearance in a Sample of Iraqi Adults with Class I Normal Occlusion

“…The camera (Canon D60, Japan) fixed in position and adjusted in height to be at the level of the individual's eyes with a height adjustable tripod that controls the stability and the correct height of the camera according to the subject's body height. The distance from the camera to the subject was fixed at a distance of about 101 cm measured from the camera lens to the ear rods, that were fit in the external auditory meatus in order to avoid the forward, backward, and tilting of the subject head (Cephalostat based head position) (12) , and 56 cm from the camera lens to the ear rods for frontal intraoral photographs (13) . The EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens was used.…”

Evaluation of Full-Facepiece Respirator Fit on Fire Fighters in the Municipality of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

“…Distinguishing between the different face shapes was carried out according to the procedure followed by Farias, et al [24]. A digital camera (Canon EOS 500D) was placed at a distance of 1.10 m from the face with subjects seated in front of a black background.…”

Digital Smile Design-An innovative tool in aesthetic dentistry

“…Few additional lines are drawn such as the gingival zenith, joining lines of the gingival and incisal battlements for complete dental analysis. For adequate teeth dimension the ideal size of dental width to length ratio can be incorporated by any one of the published theories which includes Golden proportion, 19 Pound's theory, 20,21 Recurring aesthetic dental proportion, 21 Dentogenic theory, 22,23 or Visagism. 24 Required changes are carried out with the help of a digital ruler (Fig.…”
