Abstract(s)
Objetivo: A estética facial é, cada vez mais, objeto de estudo e de motivação que leva as pessoas a recorrerem ao tratamento ortodôntico, cirurgia maxilofacial e, por vezes reabilitação protética. Neste sentido, é importante, que o Médico Dentista identifique claramente as expetativas do paciente, para que, o resultado final seja o mais harmonioso para ambas as partes. Nesta investigação, procurou-se avaliar a perceção de atratividade entre Leigos, Estudantes de Medicina Dentária e Médicos Dentistas e assim aferir, se o grau de formação em Medicina Dentária influencia esta variante, bem como o género e faixa etária.
Métodos: Procedeu-se à manipulação da fotografia da face de um indivíduo do género feminino, caucasiana, a cores, considerada esteticamente normal segundo os padrões correntes, obtendo-se assim um álbum de 12 fotografias. Aplicou-se um questionário a uma amostra de 86 participantes, sendo 28 (32.6%) pacientes (Leigos), 34 Estudantes de Medicina Dentária (39.5%) e 24 Médicos Dentistas (27.9%).
Resultados: Os indivíduos com faces mais próximas das proporções ideais são considerados mais atraentes. No respeitante às variáveis em estudo: formação, género e idade e à perceção de atratividade, apenas se constataram diferenças estatisticamente significativas ao nível da formação. No que concerne à idade, registou-se uma tendência para o grupo de Leigos com idades mais elevadas terem índice de perceção de atratividade mais baixos.
Conclusões: É fundamental que, o Médico Dentista possua as ferramentas necessárias, que lhe permitam avaliar a forma facial e saber como executar adequadamente as técnicas para preservar ou melhorar a harmonia facial. Ainda que atenda às proporções ideais, aquando da conceção do tratamento ortodôntico, não deve excluir outros métodos de avaliação da beleza e atratividade facial.
Objective: Nowadays, facial aesthetics is increasingly the object of study and motivation that leads people to seek orthodontic treatment, maxillofacial surgery and sometimes prosthetic rehabilitation. Therefore it is important that the dentist clearly identifies the patient's expectations concerning the final result so that this result may become the may most harmonious for both parties. This research aimed to evaluate the perception of attractiveness among lay people, students of dentistry and dentists and, this way, to assess whether the degree of education in dentistry influences this variant, as well as gender and age group. Methods: A color photograph of the face of a female Caucasian person was manipulated and considered to be aesthetically normal according to current standards and an album of 12 photographs was obtained. A questionnaire was applied to a sample of 86 participants: 28 (32.6%) patients (Lay), 34 Dental Students (39.5%) and 24 Dentists (27.9%). Results: Individuals with faces closer to ideal proportions are considered more attractive. Regarding the variables under study: education, gender and age and the perception of attractiveness, only statistically significant differences were found at the level of education. Regarding to age, there was a tendency for the group of older lay people to have a lower rate of perceived attractiveness. Conclusions: It is mainly essential that the dentist has the necessary tools that allow him to evaluate the facial shape and know how to properly perform the techniques to preserve or improve facial harmony. Although it meets the ideal proportions when designing orthodontic treatment, it should not exclude other methods for assessing facial beauty and attractiveness.
