Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Aesthetics
  • Anthropometry

Background:

  • Facial appearance significantly impacts human interactions.
  • Scientific literature highlights specific facial features and proportions crucial for attractiveness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate how different facial features influence perceived attractiveness.
  • To correlate these perceptions with factors like age, gender, training, and culture.

Main Methods:

  • A questionnaire with 5 illustrated multiple-choice questions was administered to 236 dental students.
  • Photoshop CS3 was used to create images simulating facial deviations from ideal symmetry and proportion.
  • Participants included junior and sophomore dental students of various nationalities.

Main Results:

  • Overdevelopment of the lower facial third was widely perceived as unattractive.
  • Perfect symmetry and proportion were considered most attractive by only 38.9% of participants.
  • A canted inter-commissural line was deemed unattractive by 36.86%, emphasizing the need for harmonious facial proportions.

Conclusions:

  • Facial attractiveness assessments are subjective.
  • Cultural background and specific training are significant influencing factors in evaluating facial aesthetics.
