Materials and methods: We employed dynamic media (videos) showing a smile in four different arrangements (ideal incisal occlusion – N, median diastema – D, incisal crowding – A, protruding incisors – P), with and without general contextual attractiveness. Results: The perception is the same both for the whole face and for the frontal smile alone and there are no significant differences between the answers from male and female interviews. Smiles with normal alignment gain higher scores for esthetics and are associated with more positive qualities. In contrast, smiles with proclined and crowded teeth obtain lower scores. Conclusions: Analysis of the results showed that there are no significant differences between perceptions, sensations and judgments related to smiles presented either as part of the whole face or in only the lower facial third: general facial attractiveness does not influence evaluations of the smile. The study R esum e Objectif : D ecrire les perceptions suscit ees par diff erents alignements dentaires ant erieurs chez un echantillon de 106 enfants ^ ag es de huit a ` 11 ans. Mat eriels et m ethodes : Nous avons utilis e des m edias dyna-miques (vid eo) pour illustrer le sourire dans quatre configurations diff erentes : occlusion incisive id eale (N), diast eme m edian (D), encombrement ant erieur (A) et incisives ves-tibul ees (P), en montrant et en masquant l'attractivit e g en erale du visage. R esultats : La perception est la m ^ eme qu'il s'agisse du visage entier ou du sourire en vue frontale seulement. Il n'y avait pas de diff erences significatives dans les r eponses entre les garçons et les filles. Les sourires avec un alignement normal obtiennent un score esth etique plus elev e et sont associ es a ` des qualit es plus positives. En revanche, les sourires exhi-bant des dents encombr ees ou vestibul ees obtiennent un score inf erieur. Conclusions : L'analyse des r esultats montre qu'il n'y a pas de diff erences significatives entre les perceptions, sensations et jugements suscit es par … |
