Abstract

The study aims to assess the dental esthetics awareness among dental. The sample composed of dental students. A convenience sampling method was used. Subjects were given a set of questions and asked to give their opinion on dental esthetic awareness. The Shape of the Face was assessed to be important more for the Romanian participants. The same observation went for proportionality between the facial elements. While the French were not able to rank it with high discrimination, the Romanians considered it to be very important. While assessing the smiles of other people, the most displeasing aspects were considered to be tooth crowding and missing teeth for both populations. No statistically significant difference was observed for the two groups. This study shows that the subjects showed a high level of self-consciousness and the findings of the studies show that the males are less vulnerable to physiological consequences when compared to females.
