Abstract(s)
Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar se a atratividade de um sorriso gengival é afetada pela distância a que é observado, pelas variações da posição labial, simetrias, e ainda se a atratividade estética desse sorriso gengival é percecionada de forma diferente por leigos e por médicos dentistas. Foi também avaliado se a área de especialização dos médicos dentistas influencia a forma de avaliar o grau de atratividade (perceção estética) das imagens.
Metodologia: Estudo transversal, realizado com uma amostra não probabilística de médicos dentistas e leigos (pessoas sem conhecimentos em medicina dentária) com idade igual ou superior a 18 anos. Foi aplicado um questionário de autopreenchimento, via Google Forms, composto por dados sociodemográficos e 12 imagens para avaliação da atratividade estética através de uma escala visual-analógica.
Resultados: Os médicos dentistas atribuíram as pontuações mais elevadas às imagens com correção do sorriso gengival (distância social: 7,1; face: 7,3; terço inferior: 7,4) e as mais baixas às imagens com assimetria bilateral (12 e 22). Leigos atribuíram pontuações semelhantes às mesmas categorias. Foram encontradas diferenças significativas entre médicos dentistas e leigos na perceção da atratividade, exceto para a imagem original às três distâncias. Não houve diferenças significativas entre as especializações dos médicos dentistas, embora as pontuações mais elevadas tenham sido dadas por especialistas em cirurgia oral ou reabilitação oral.
Conclusão: Médicos dentistas são mais criteriosos na avaliação estética do sorriso gengival do que os leigos. A perceção de atratividade de um sorriso gengival com assimetrias é influenciada pela distância de observação tanto para médicos dentistas como para leigos.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate whether the attractiveness of a gingival smile is affected by the observation distance, variations in lip position, symmetries, and whether the aesthetic attractiveness of that gingival smile is perceived differently by laypeople and dentists. It was also assessed whether the area of specialization of dentists influences how they evaluate the degree of attractiveness (aesthetic perception) of the images. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with a non-probabilistic sample of dentists and laypeople aged 18 years or older. A self-administered questionnaire was distributed via Google Forms, consisting of sociodemographic questions and 12 images rated on a visual analog scale (VAS) for attractiveness. Results: Dentists gave the highest scores to corrected gummy smile images (social distance: 7.1; full face: 7.3; lower third of the face: 7.4), and the lowest scores to bilateral asymmetry images (teeth 12 and 22). Laypeople rated the same categories highest and lowest, respectively. Significant differences were found in attractiveness perception between dentists and laypeople, except for the original image across all distances. No significant differences were found between dentists of different specializations, although higher scores were observed among oral surgery or oral rehabilitation specialists. Conclusion: Dentists are more discerning in assessing gingival smile aesthetics than laypeople. The perception of attractiveness in asymmetrical gingival smiles is influenced by the observer’s proximity in both groups.
