    Evaluation of the photography of smiling profile in the orthodontic photography protocol
    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2017-12-13) Zavalaga Gutierrez, Agatha Betzabeth; Nieto Perea, Patricia
    In orthodontics, photographs play a very important role as they aid in diagnosis. The standard photographic protocol typically includes intraoral and extraoral photographs; however, the profile smile photograph is often overlooked. Only a few prescriptions, such as that of Dr. ANDREWS, rely on the profile smile photograph to evaluate the position of the central incisor and obtain a better perspective of the clinical case. The objective of this study was to evaluate a clinical case using both a smile profile photograph and one without a smile. Four profile photographs without a smile were shown to experienced orthodontists, who provided their perspective on the case. After fifteen days, the same four photographs of the patients, but with a smile, were shown for comparison. The results indicated that using the profile smile photograph revealed more findings and details in the perception of the clinical case. It allowed for better analysis of the position of the upper central incisor, the relationship of the lips, and the harmony of the maxillae. Therefore, it is suggested to incorporate the profile smile photograph into the conventional orthodontic photographic protocol.
