The objective of this study was to compare the perception of facial asymmetry among dental students from a private university in Metropolitan Lima. The methodology followed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional, prospective, and comparative design, with a sample of 160 students, consisting of 80 female students and 80 male students. The study included students who had signed the informed consent and were in their 8th and 9th semesters. The technique used was a survey on aesthetic perception of facial asymmetry, created by the author Weyder Portocarrero Reyes. It consisted of a photo of a male and female patient with a symmetrical face. Modifications were made to the photo on the chin, using the pogonion as a reference point to simulate a deviation to the right side by 0.5 mm, 1.0 mm, 1.5 mm, 2.0 mm, 2.5 mm, 3.0 mm, 6.0 mm, and 8.0 mm. Data processing was done using SPSS version 25, applying the Kolmogorov-Smirnov method (for n≥50), followed by the Kruskal-Wallis test (p=0.00). The results showed a significant difference (p<0.05) in the perception of facial asymmetry among dental students. The image with the most favorable perception was image 11 (Mean=6, SD=2.674), and the image with the most unfavorable perception was image 22 (Mean=3.69, SD=2.399).

Objective: To determine the aesthetic perception and social judgment of different enamel opacities in adolescents from the Peruvian Amazon. Materials and Methods: An observational, cross-sectional, and descriptive study was conducted, with a sample of 134 adolescents with an average age of 13.67 ± 1.58 years. A twelve-question questionnaire was used to measure aesthetic perception and social judgment of different enamel opacities, which was validated by expert judgment. The data were analyzed using the SPSS v.25 statistical package with a 5% significance level. Results: It was observed that the enamel opacity type with the highest score in positive social characteristics was unilateral yellowish opacity with structure loss, with an average of 2.23 ± 0.76, and bilateral yellowish opacity with 2.19 ± 0.91. On the other hand, those with the highest score in negative social characteristics were unilateral yellowish opacity with structure loss with -1.85 ± 0.89 and unilateral white opacity with -1.08 ± 0.99. In the overall social judgment score, the highest score was bilateral yellowish opacity with structure loss, with 1.27 ± 1.56, followed by bilateral yellowish opacity with 1.23 ± 1.30. Conclusion: When relating social judgments to different aesthetic perceptions of enamel opacities, a statistically significant difference was obtained in the aesthetic perception of the photograph with bilateral yellowish opacity with structure loss and gender.

Perception of the Aesthetics of the Smile and its Influence on the Assessment of Personal Characteristics. Lima, 2021
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2021-12-09) Lezama Ocsas, Gisella; Girano Castaños, Jorge Alberto
Objective: To evaluate the perception of smile aesthetics and its relationship with the assessment of personal characteristics. Materials and Methods: A descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of 159 participants (73 dentists and 86 laypersons), of whom 46.5% were male and 53.5% were female, with an average age of 34.55 ± 8.02 years. A 9-question questionnaire was applied to measure the assessment of personal characteristics, including three dimensions: social competence, intellectual ability, and psychological balance. The questionnaire had been previously validated and was related to the aesthetic perception of the smile. Data were analyzed using the SPSS software version 26. Results: No statistically significant association was found between the assessment of personal characteristics and the perception of smile aesthetics. However, the photograph rated as pleasant obtained higher average scores in each of the dimensions compared to the photograph rated as unpleasant. Conclusion: The assessment of personal characteristics is not associated with the perception of smile aesthetics. However, a pleasant perception generates higher scores in social competence, intellectual ability, and psychological balance.
