To Assess the Validity of Leon Williams Facial Forms and Visagism: A Photographic Study

Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 7

Abstract

A study was performed to re-evaluate Leon Williams theory and concept of visagism among the undergraduate dental students in our institution. 100 dental students comprising of 50 males and 50 females age group 18-30 years were selected randomly for the study. Two photographs were taken for each student (facial and intraoral photograph) later the dominant temperament of each student was determined using a self-reporting questionnaire which reveals their outlook towards life and hence their personality thus validity of visagism theory was assessed. On the other hand, outline of photograph was traced using adobe photoshop CS5 and Leon Williams typal theory was assessed for its validity. Statistical analysis showed that both theories were relevant for selection of tooth form. But the concept of visagism was proved more appropriate for selection of tooth form compared to Leon Williams typal theory.
