“…This is inconsistent with the findings of other authors who found both dental students and laypeople to be less tolerant to darker tooth shades. 12,24 As reflected in the ratings, we also found that, medical students were able to discriminate between diminutive laterals (figure 1.4) (mean = 33; SD = 24) and normally shaped laterals incisors (figure 1.1) (mean = 62; SD = 19); however, this contradicted the findings of Witt and colleagues; who found that laypeople are unable to differentiate between various shapes, forms, and sizes of maxillary incisors. 27 Furthermore, dental students tended to evaluate dental midline shifts slightly less favorably than medical students.…”

Objectives: Acquiring the ability to identify deviations in dental aesthetic norms has been considered as an essential skill for the development of a dental professional. The timing and quality of this development of aesthetic perception has not been explicitly discussed in the dental education literature. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of dental training on the development of smile aesthetic perception, and to compare this perception between dental students and medical students in a similar cohort.Methods: One-hundred dental and medical students were invited to complete a self-administered questionnaire, designed to evaluate eight images; using a visual analogue scale (1 least attractive; 100 most attractive). The students rated the smile aesthetics of one 'model' smile image, and seven digitally modified smiles representing major variations in smile features. Data were analyzed using the independent student's t-test.Results: forty-four male and fifty-five female participants were successfully recruited, with a response rate of 99%. Dental students' ratings of smile aesthetics were significantly lower than medical students for seven of the eight images (p<0.05). This difference was greatest for the model smile image, and least for the diminutive lateral incisors image. There were no statistically significant gender-related differences. Conclusions:Within the limitation of this study, the dental curriculum has a significant impact on developing students' perception of dental aesthetics. Longitudinal studies with larger samples sizes, are needed to examine if progress through the dental curriculum affects students' perception of dental aesthetics.

“…6% of medical and 7% of dental students used to cover their smiles with their hands. In addition, 75% of the medical students believe that someone else had a better smile than theirs, compared to 63% of the dental students [25].…”

“…The most common cause of dissatisfaction among medical interns was their tooth color, similar to the results of Alharthy and co-authors' study. They found that 76% of the medical interns wished to have whiter teeth [25]. The scientific background of the dental interns also could have an effect on spotting the complications that resulted after smile-enhancing treatments.…”

Background: Perception of beauty is different from one individual to another, and this may influence their desire for aesthetic treatment. There are many studies that compared dentists to the general population’s perception of smile treatments. However, only a few studies were carried out to compare the perception of fresh graduate dentists with a comparable group of another medical medical background. Objective: This study aimed to compare how medical and dental interns perceive dental smiles and how much they ask for dental enhancement treatments. Methods: A cross-sectional study targeting dental and medical interns in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia using an online survey. An online questionnaire was formulated and distributed through social media. Comparisons between groups were made using the Chi-square test with a p-value of significance kept under 0.05. Results: 204 participants responded to the survey, 107 dental and 97 medical interns (52.5%, 47.5%), respectively. When the participants were asked to rate their satisfaction with their smiles, almost 60% of the dental interns rated their smiles 8/10 or more on a scale of (1-10). When they were asked about the cause of the dissatisfaction, their responses were varying. About 84% of dental interns reported having complications of varying sources because of the smile-enhancing treatment, compared to only 50% of the medical interns. Conclusion: Dental and medical interns interacted in the same manner toward smile-enhancing treatments. Dental interns seem to show more satisfaction with their smiles. They also showed more ability to spot and identify the harmful effects of those procedures.

This study determined the effect of lip thickness, lipstick color, and tooth shade on the smile attractiveness perceptions of dentists, laypersons, dental students, and other faculty students. A set of 27 smile photographs was prepared with different lip thicknesses (Tk, thick; M, medium; and Tn, thin), lipstick shade (R, red; P , pink; and O, orange), and tooth shades (0M1, 0M3, and A1). A total of 212 Thai participants in four rater groups (dentists, laypersons, dental students, and other faculty students) rated smile attractiveness using a visual analog scale (VAS). Statistical analyses were performed using the Kruskal-Wallis test and pairwise analysis at a 0.05% level of significance. Tk or M lip thickness was associated with more smile attractiveness than Th lip thickness. The R lipstick is more attractive than the P and O lipsticks. The 0M1 tooth shade appeared to be the most attractive for laypersons and other faculty students, whereas tooth shades (0M1, 0M3, or A1) did not influence the smile attractiveness perception of dentists and dental students. The smile attractiveness perception was influenced by the lip appearance and tooth shade for each rater group, which are essential for an attractive smile design.
