“…The present study observed a negative correlation between self-esteem and social impact, psychological impact and aesthetic concern, which is corroborated by other studies ( 16 , 26 ). In contrast, the correlation was positive between self-esteem and the PIDAQ questionnaire’s self-confidence subscale; in other words, dental satisfaction has a positive effect on self-esteem ( 1 , 16 , 26 ).…”

“…On examining the results by gender, it was found that the men had lower self-esteem and consequently their dental aesthetics had a greater impact (divergent relationship), whereas in other studies ( 16 ) it was the women who placed great importance on dental aesthetics. A study by Jung ( 27 ) observed that the girls were generally less self-confident than the boys, in contrast to the present findings.…”

“…A number of studies have examined the association between aesthetics and gender and have concluded that women are generally more demanding with regard to beauty and aesthetics, more affected by what they consider facial and corporal aesthetic defects and more critical in general regarding everything related to aesthetics ( 13 , 28 - 32 ). According to several studies ( 1 , 12 , 16 ), women present a greater psychosocial impact than men. These data are in disagreement with the present study, in which no significant difference in psychosocial impact was observed.…”

BackgroundAwareness of the influence of personality traits such as self-esteem and perfectionism on the aesthetic self-image can help clinicians to improve their patients’ satisfaction and quality of life. The main objective of this study was to examine the relationship between self-esteem, perfectionism and the psychosocial impact of dental aesthetics, and their association with gender.Material and MethodsA descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study was conducted in a sample of 301 students of the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry of the University of Valencia, aged between 18 and 30 years. Each participant was asked to complete a survey comprising three questionnaires: PIDAQ (Psychosocial Impact of Dental Aesthetics Questionnaire), MPS (Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale) and RSS (Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale). The response rate was 79%.ResultsThe mean age was 20.8 years; 226 were women (75 %) and 75 were men (25 %). A negative correlation (Pearson = -0.387) was found between the total PIDAQ score and self-esteem. The correlation with perfectionism was found to be positive (Pearson = 0.281). On comparing the questionnaire and subscale scores by gender, the only statistically significant differences were in perfectionism (men 97.4, women 89.1) and self-confidence (men 22.1, women 23.5).ConclusionsThe students most affected by poor dental aesthetics had lower self-esteem and higher levels of perfectionism. The men presented higher levels of perfectionism than the women, while the latter displayed greater self-confidence in their dental aesthetics. Clinicians should pay greater attention to these traits and to their implications for treating these patients. Key words:Psychosocial impact of dental aesthetics questionnaire, multidimensional perfectionism scale, rosenberg self-esteem scale, students.

“…Thus, a more individualised treatment plan can be established, meeting the expectations of the patient. Some studies have shown that sex 10,11,15–19 and age 12,19 may affect the impact of dental aesthetics, however, other authors did not find this relationship 7,8,20,21 . Regarding clinical characteristics, studies indicate that more compromised dental aesthetics have greater psychosocial impact 7,8,16,18,20 .…”

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the contribution of demographic and clinical characteristics on the psychosocial impact of dental aesthetics of dental patients. Methods: The psychosocial impact of dental aesthetics was assessed by the Psychosocial Impact of Dental Aesthetics Questionnaire (PIDAQ). Data validity was estimated using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Reliability was assessed using standardised Cronbach's alpha coefficient (a). A structural model was developed to assess the contribution of demographic and clinical characteristics to the results. The fit of the model was evaluated and the z test (a = 5%) was used to estimate the significance of the contributions (b). Results: A total of 505 dental patients (80% female; age: 36.3, SD = 11.4) participated in the study. Data showed adequate validity (CFA: v 2 / df = 3.3, Tucker-Lewis index [TLI] = 0.92, comparative fit index [CFI] = 0.92 and root mean square error of approximation [RMSEA] = 0.07) and reliability (a = 0.77-0.92). The fit of the structural model was adequate (v 2 /df = 2.8, TLI = 0.89, CFI = 0.91, RMSEA = 0.06). People of a lower economic level, with incomplete dentition, who did not undergo previous aesthetic dental treatment, and who did not like their own smile showed greater psychosocial impact of dental aesthetics. Conclusions: Demographic and clinical characteristics should be considered in the evaluation of the impact of dental aesthetics on individuals'. Moreover, PIDAQ is an alternative tool for clinical evaluation of the psychosocial impact of dental aesthetics because it provides valid and reliable data.
