Abstract :
Introduction
Orthodontic treatment is based on occlusal relationships, but with the changing paradigm, the concern of smile and in turn facial esthetics has gained importance. For patients, to a large extent, the expectations after orthodontic treatment depend on the perception of their own dentofacial esthetics and on the constant judgement by their peers. The objectives of this study were to compare smile esthetics among extraction and non-extraction patients and a control group.
Materials and Methods:
60 subjects (20 treated with extraction, 20 treated with non-extraction, 20 in control group).Frontal and three-quarter view photographs in unforced were taken and evaluated by a panel of 20 orthodontists, 50 dental professionals & 50 lay persons. Each panel members rated the attractiveness of the smile on a- 5- point esthetic scale.
Results:
The mean esthetic scores for the Extraction, Non-extraction, and Control groups showed no significant differences in over all scores given by the three panels. In intra–group comparison there was significant difference among Orthodontists and Dental professionals, Dental professionals and Laypersons in rating the non-extraction group. There was also significant difference among Orthodontists and Laypersons in rating the control group.
Conclusion--Subjects with ideal occlusions and Class I patients treated with or without extractions were not differentiated in smile esthetics by 3 panels of judges.
