“…Around two-thirds of students felt confident about their smile however almost a third reported they try to hide their smile. Manipal et al (2014) showed a higher percentage (86.2%) of females were satisfied with their smile. As for non-aesthetic restorations both this and Al-Zarea (2013) study had similar results for students reporting of having a non-aesthetic restoration in their front teeth (15.4% and 16.4% respectively).…”

“…However in the study of Manipal et al (2014) in India it was reported that the majority (86.2%) of females were satisfied with the colour of their teeth. Again these differences may be due to the fact that dental appearance is affected by individual characteristics, compliance, or unrealistic expectations (Al-Zarea 2013).…”

“…Tooth whitening treatments, anterior teeth restoration, labial veneers crowns, and orthodontic treatment are frequently demanded by patients who are interested in improving their dental appearance (Samorodnitzky-Naveh et al 2007). Manipal et al (2014) found in their study on dental students that with respect to psychological aspects, mental depression shows more significance as students feel more deprived due to their unaesthetic appearance. Nazir et al (2014) assessed the psychosocial impact of dental aesthetics and self-perceived orthodontic treatment in dental students showed a strong association between subjects perceiving the need for orthodontic treatment and their psychosocial wellbeing.…”

“…The Face is one of the most important part of the body to show physical beauty (Subait et al 2016).The dental appearance of an individual is an important feature in determining the attractiveness of a face (Qualtrough and Burke 1994) and plays a key role in human social interactions (Lopez 2013, Kershaw et al 2008, Qualtrough and Burke 1994. Dental appearance also plays an important role for boosting self-confidence (Tin-Oo, et al 2011, Manipal 2014). The main determinant factor for improving dental appearance is a person's own deisre influencing one's selfconciousness about their smile, self confidence and self esteem (Yi et al 2016).…”

Objectives: To evaluate the influence of the gingival contour on the smile esthetics.The influence of size, symmetry, teeth involved in apically shifted gingival margins, and the distance and clinical training of the observer were investigated.Materials and Methods: Two groups were identified: 33 first-year dental students (inexperienced) and 40 last-year students (trained). Each observer expressed four evaluations on four different images assigning a score from 0 to 10. Using a picture of an "ideal" female smile, 10 variants were virtually created by shifting (2 and 4 mm) the gingival contour apically at different sites of the upper incisors and canines. A total of 292 evaluations were collected.Results: Considering a score >6 for a "pleasant smile," only one 4 mm single alteration at the canine gingival contour obtained an insufficient score. "Observational distance" and "clinical training" did not influence the final score, while size and symmetry of alterations displayed a significant role. Conclusions:The dental training of the observer and a close interpersonal distance seemed to be irrelevant in the esthetic perception of gingival margin alterations.
