    (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.
