    Influence of self-perception of dental appearance on self-esteem of dentistry students at the Private Norbert Wiener University, 2023
    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2023-12-01) Serrano Quispe, Cintia Itania; Rojas Ortega, Raúl Antonio
    The aim of this study was to assess the influence of self-perception of dental appearance on the self-esteem of dental students at the Universidad Norbert Wiener, 2023- II. The methodology was quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional, and prospective. A sample of 120 students was considered, 60 from the 8th cycle and 60 from the 9th cycle. Both genders were included, excluding those who had undergone orthodontic treatment, teeth whitening, or dental veneers, and informed consent was obtained prior to data collection. A simple random probability sampling method was used. Two validated and reliable questionnaires were used for data collection: one for self-perception of dental appearance and another for self-esteem. The data were processed using SPSS version 24. The results showed that most participants had a regular dental appearance and normal self-esteem (35%, N = 42), followed by those with a poor dental appearance and normal self-esteem (19.2%, N = 23). A statistically significant relationship was found between self-perception of dental appearance and self-esteem.
