“…The response rate is similar to other web-based surveys (Rosenstiel et al, 2000, Rosenstiel et al, 2004 and the overall number of participants is much larger than any previous survey in this area; however a question does arise concerning the increased risk of nonresponse bias. Groves (Groves, 2006) undertook a review of the literature and found no clear link between response rates and nonresponse bias.…”

Objective: To investigate the opinions of laypeople regarding the aesthetic outcome of treating patients with developmental absence of both maxillary lateral incisors with either orthodontic space closure (OSC) or space opening and prosthetic replacement (PR). Design:Cross sectional, web-based survey.Methods: A panel of five orthodontists and five restorative dentists examined the post-treatment intra-oral images of 21 patients with developmental absence of both upper lateral incisors. A consensus view was obtained about the 10 most attractive images (5 OSC; 5 PR). The 10 selected images were used in a web-based survey involving staff and students at the University of Sheffield.In the first section the participants were asked to evaluate the attractiveness of the 10 randomly arranged single images using a 5-point Likert scale. In the second section an image of OSC was paired with an image of PR according to their attractiveness ranking by the clinician panel, and the participants were asked to indicate which of the two images they preferred. Results:The survey received 959 completed responses with 9590 judgements. The images of OSC were perceived to be more attractive (mean rating 3.34 out of 5; sd 0.56) compared with the images of PR (mean rating 3.14 out of 5; sd 0.58) (mean diff 0.21; P<0.001). Female and staff judges tended to give higher attractiveness ratings. Both females and males preferred the OSC images closing in 3 out of 4 paired images. Conclusion:Space closing was perceived to be more attractive than space opening by lay people.The findings have implications for advising patients about the best aesthetic outcome when both maxillary lateral incisors are missing.

“…Several researchers have concluded that golden proportion is more theoretical, artistic and difficult in application in their study on the maxillary anterior widths [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] Further in aesthetic dentistry, macroesthetic factors play a predominant role rather than factors such as golden proportion which is a microesthetic factor. 29 …”

Golden proportion is a proportion frequently present in nature and is considered as a means of achieving harmony in the teeth. It forms an important aspect of aesthetic dentistry as it deals with the restoration of the maxillary anterior teeth in relation to their widths. Aim: The study was conducted to evaluate the presence of golden proportion between the maxillary anterior teeth in south Indian population by examining their widths. The study also aimed to evaluate the existing ratio present in the population Materials and Methods: The study was conducted over a period of two months, March and April, 2014. 200 individuals including 100 male and 100 female patients were selected for the study based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The measurements were made using Vernier calliper. Result: Golden proportion was not prevalent in the south Indian population and did not serve as an adequate guideline to be applied to all maxillary anterior teeth. Conclusion: Golden proportion is not a suitable method to correlate the maxillary anterior teeth widths in the south Indian population and cannot be applied as an absolute rule.

“…14 Approaches involving close-up images, showing only the oral region, have also differed. Images showing only the arrangement of the teeth and gingivae without the surrounding lip curtain have been used [15][16][17] when assessing aspects of smile aesthetics, but in doing so, may alter the opinion of the assessor. This can be overcome by using images of the teeth and gingivae surrounded by the lips, thereby presenting an image that will let the assessor more easily assess the overall smile aesthetic.…”
