Abstract:
The lack of awareness about dental treatments and gender differences in aesthetic preferences affect the relationship between dental aesthetics, psychosocial well-being. Therefore, it is of interest to enhance understanding of the relationship between dental aesthetics and psychosocial well-being, and dental confidence among non-dental students, highlighting gender differences and awareness gaps. Hence, a total of 400 students were surveyed using the Psychosocial Impact of Dental Aesthetics Questionnaire (PIDAQ). The results highlight the significant influence of dental appearance on self-esteem, social interaction, and mental health. A greater desire for dental aesthetic improvement was observed among females, and there was a notable lack of awareness about available dental treatments. Thus, we show the impact of dental aesthetics on psychosocial well-being and dental confidence among non-dental students at Kalka Dental College, Meerut, with a focus on awareness and gender differences.
