“…The observed results pointed that the health professional's valuation is in between Lawyers perceptions and Laypeople perception. Considered of fundamental importance to the forensic health professional perception, as pointed by the literature, tend to be more critical in relation to facial aesthetics [11] [12] [13] [14]. Yet this region is highly visible and often exposed for social communication justifying the need for major attention to aesthetics.…”

Forensic aesthetic facial damage-AFD expert's valuation is a concerning matter in court as expressively vary in between experts. In fact, differences can be quite significant suggesting examiners age, sex and professional qualification may influence this valuation. Aiming to offer a systematic and more objective evaluation, some methods for assessing AFD had been proposed lately. Known as Aesthetic Impairment Impact Perception (AIPE), Cobo-Plana's revised methodology (2010) was idealized to minimize the examiner's subjectivity by means of answering an ordered sequence of questions related to the specific damage perception. This research aims to access AFD perception differences (simulated cases) in between Lawyers, Heath professionals (Physicians and Dental surgeons) and general professionals (laypeople) under AIPE methodology in order to allow a better comprehension of AFD when dealing with forensic expertise cases. Within Groups perceptions varied (p < 0.05) when evaluating lesions below "important" severity grade. Raters over 35 Years age scored higher AFD lesions, and rater's sex (as an independent variable) did not express any significant difference in AFD scoring. The tendency of underrating AFD lesions below very important severity grade was observed being a matter of major concern considered their prevalence and the effective consequences involved to the victim. These results recommend extra caution when performing AFD evaluation and consequently expertise reports, claiming a more judicious analysis based on consolidated standards and suggest, examiners to be more perceptive to physical damage evaluation in order to include social perceptions and reactions, mainly, victims feelings and constrains over their aesthetic loss.

“…However, this was not the case in our study where there were remarkable variations among different dental professionals although they perceived these components more precisely when compared to LP. In a recent systematic review, Barbosa et al 11 conducted their review in four databases; aimed to assess whether dentists are more critical in assessing facial esthetics than laypersons. Three relevant articles [12][13][14] were selected from an initial total of 979 articles collected.…”

“…They suggested "Further studies with more standardized methods are suggested in order to definitely clarify who is more critical in the subjective assessment of facial characteristics". 11 To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that assessed all facial esthetic components once and among a large sample of individuals who had different dental education and clinical experience. The maximum number of raters in their study was 30, 14 while the minimum number of raters in this study is 74 (Dental Specialists).…”

“…Many studies evaluated laypersons' and/or dental specialist perception of specific facial esthetic characters including "facial profile", 6 "facial vertical proportions" 7,8 and "facial symmetry". 9,10 In line with that, a recent systematic review 11 sought to summarize studies that assessed laypersons' and/or dental professionals' perception of different facial esthetic parameters; they search for articles evaluated facial esthetic parameters including facial profile, facial height, facial symmetry and profile lip position. So far, there has not been a study that evaluated the perception of the most important facial characteristics; facial symmetry, facial profile and facial vertical proportions collectively by laypersons and different dental professionals.…”

Aim:This study sought to assess perception of facial esthetics by laypersons and dental professionals. Materials and methods:Three standard photographs were digitally manipulated involving three facial characteristics; facial symmetry, facial profile and facial vertical proportions. A sample of 465 [142 laypersons (LP), 97 dental assistants (DA), 152 general dental practitioners (GDP) and 74 dental specialists (DS)] evaluated the standard and the manipulated images on a visual analogue scale ranging from 1 (the less pleasant image) to 5 (the standard image). The responses were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests. A p value of <0.05 was considered significant. Results:The overall score was 61.29 ± 16.19% with no statistical difference by gender. GDP showed significantly higher perception score than LP, DA and DS did. Regarding the individual facial esthetic components, females showed significantly better perception for "facial profile", while males showed significantly better perception for "facial symmetry" and "facial vertical proportions". Facial symmetry and facial vertical proportions were perceived differently with the higher perception score for the GDP and the lowest perception scores were for LP. Conclusion:Remarkable variations do exist with regard to facial esthetic perception by LP, DA, GDP and DS, with GDP showed more favorable perception.Clinical significance: Perception of facial esthetics by laypersons and dental practitioners with a different level of dental education and clinical experience gives an indication about the difference between the patients' desire and the practitioners' perception of such esthetic demands.

“…The time spent to understand the patients' true interests should be valued, and it is extremely important to explain the objectives, possibilities and limitations of orthodontic treatment [11]. The best way to gain trust and obtain patient cooperation is by giving importance to interpersonal relationships and, consequently, investing in the professional-patient relationship [12][13][14].…”

Objective: To evaluate the self-perception of adolescents regarding the need to undergo orthodontic treatment. Material and Methods: It was performed a cross-sectional study. The sample (n = 200) was composed of adolescents aged 11 to 18 years, of both sexes, divided into 2 groups (G1-in treatment group, G2-beginner group). A structured questionnaire was divided into three categories for data collection: teeth, face, and symptomatology. Considering the age group, data were tabulated and the first measures of central tendency and dispersion (mean, median, standard deviation, minimum value and maximum value), frequencies, and percentages for other variables were calculated. Student's t-test, Chi-square test, Fisher's exact were used to compare the groups for the age group and other variables at a 5% significance level. Results: The mean age was 15.47 (SD = 1.56) years, 59% of the individuals were women. The main reason for deciding to wear orthodontic appliances was due to necessity and malpositioned teeth (94.5%) and for other reasons (5.5%), with no significant difference between G1 and G2 groups (p>0.05); 20.5% wanted their front teeth to be longer/shorter, and 18.5% wanted their upper teeth to be moved forward/backward. There was no significant difference between the groups in the categories "what would you like to change in your appearance" and "pain and discomfort" (p<0.05). Conclusion: Esthetics related to dental positioning of the upper incisors greatly influenced motivation of the adolescents to seek orthodontic treatment. Skeletal anomalies and pain symptomatology had little influence on the adolescent perception.
