Rakhshan V, Atashkar N, Rekabi A, Paydar Z, Hashemi Ashtiani A, Ashoori N, Moradinejad M. Effects of facial forms and midline deviations and rolls on female facial beauty according to laypeople, orthodontists, and prosthodontists or restorative dentists. Sci Rep 2024; 14:20900. [PMID: 39245723 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-71262-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2024] [Accepted: 08/26/2024] [Indexed: 09/10/2024] Open
Abstract
No study has examined the simultaneous effect of facial forms, midline deviations and midline angulations on facial beauty. Therefore, this comprehensive study aimed to evaluate these and many other hypotheses. This psychometric study was performed on 15,042 observations. A female frontal photograph was edited to 45 perceptometric images with controlled anatomical alteration: 3 facial forms (euryprosopic [brachyfacial], mesoprosopic [mesofacial], leptoprosopic [dolichofacial]), each having either 9 bidirectional midline deviations (0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 mm deviated to the left and right) or 7 bidirectional midline angular deviations (0°, 5°, 10°, and 15° deviated to the left and right). One of the photographs were repeated. These 46 images were esthetically judged by 327 participants (243 laypeople, 49 orthodontists, and 35 'prosthodontists or restorative dentists'). Hierarchical mixed-model multiple linear regressions and post hoc tests were adopted to evaluate the simultaneous impacts of the photomodel's facial forms, midline deviations to the right or left, and midline rolls to the right or left plus sex, age, experience, and dental specialty of the referees on their perception of facial beauty as well as the tolerable zones of midline alterations. These were also done separately for each specialty group, and also for each facial face. Ideal combinations of anatomic features were determined using repeated-measures ANOVAs. Differences between esthetic preferences of different groups in terms of each image were assessed using one-way ANOVAs and t-tests (α = 0.05, α = 0.008, α = 0.001). All 5 anatomical features significantly and independently influenced perception of facial beauty. The tolerance threshold for midline deviations was 1 mm deviations to the right and left sides. For midline rolls, the only tolerable form was the no-roll ('on') midline; the judges preferred right-oriented defects over left-sided ones. The most beautiful facial form was mesoprosopic, followed by leptoprosopic. Men perceived the female face slightly more attractive than did women. The viewers' specialty (or lack of it), their age, or their experience did not affect their esthetic preferences. Predictors of esthetic preferences were all 5 anatomical features plus views' sex, but not their dental specialty, age, or experience. Zones of acceptability and also the ideal range of anatomical features were determined.

JOURNAL OF PHARMACY AND BIOALLIED SCIENCES 2024; 16:S329-S334. [PMID: 38595513 PMCID: PMC11000938 DOI: 10.4103/jpbs.jpbs_529_23] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2023] [Revised: 08/11/2023] [Accepted: 08/14/2023] [Indexed: 04/11/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective To evaluate the influence of variations in the upper sulcus depth, nasal tip protrusion, and nasolabial angle on the esthetic perception of profiles. Design A web-based survey study and was conducted in the Department of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics. This survey was conducted for a period of 10 months and included orthodontists practicing in India. Methods This study included lateral cephalograms of the most esthetic profiles from a set of 30 profiles that were within Holdaways norms; the most esthetic profile was determined by a panel of two orthodontists and two general dentists. The most esthetic profile photograph will be transferred to a computer in Corel software. The outline of the profile will remain the same, with the inner aspect converted into a dark area (black); now, the profile is completely converted into facial silhouettes. This black facial silhouette is presented to avoid any distractions and bias. There will be a total of 27 silhouettes by various combinations of increased, decreased, and normal values for nasolabial angle, upper sulcus depth, and nasal tip protrusions. Results Both the orthodontist and layman chose the most favored profile as a normal profile having a normal nasal tip, normal nasolabial angle, and normal upper sulcus depth, whereas among dentists, 50% chose the most favored profile in which the nasolabial angle was normal but the nasal tip and upper labial sulcus were decreased. When it comes to the least favored profiles, opinions varied between orthodontists, dentists, and laymen. Conclusion The perception of facial esthetics has always been and still is varied between the layman, the dentist, and the orthodontists. Profiles with normal to sharp noses with normal and increased nasolabial angles were considered more attractive than the others. Profiles with fuller upper labial sulci were considered least attractive with other parameters changing.

Influence of lip position on esthetics perception with respect to profile divergence using silhouette images. BMC Oral Health 2023; 23:791. [PMID: 37875850 PMCID: PMC10598988 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-023-03537-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2023] [Accepted: 10/12/2023] [Indexed: 10/26/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to determine the facial divergence and lip position combinations that are most and least preferred, and to investigate whether age or gender has an impact on these preferences. METHODS The current investigation was carried out on a sample of 1077 individuals who were not experts in the field (253 men and 824 females). The research employed black silhouette photographs of profiles featuring different lip locations and profile divergences. The recruitment of participants was conducted in order to assess the attractiveness of the profiles, employing a Likert scale. The various positions of the lips and variations in facial profiles were thoroughly categorized. Results were analyzed using the Chi-square test. RESULTS The findings of the research demonstrated that aesthetic perceptions displayed diversity when considering different lip locations and profile divergences. It was shown that neutral lip positions were predominantly favored, accounting for approximately 40.2% of the total frequencies in the anterior diverging group. It is noteworthy to highlight the aesthetically pleasing features exhibited by those with the most prominent lip position, occurring at a frequency of 10.9% in straight-diverging group. In the posterior divergent group, the most protruded lip position, showed very attractive aesthetics with frequency (7.1%). Gender, age, region, and level of education had significant influence on aesthetic perception. CONCLUSIONS The variety of aesthetic preferences is influenced by the location of the lips and the divergence of the facial profile, resulting in different outcomes within the categories of anterior, straight, and posterior divergence. Clinicians are advised to customize the treatment regimen in order to correspond with the unique desires and preferences of the patient.

Abstract
To compare the attractiveness of lips with different volumes after filling in the view of laypersons, dentists, and specialists. The sample comprised close-up frontal and lateral photographs of the lips of 16 women who underwent lip filling procedure with hyaluronic acid and was divided into 2 groups. Group 1: eight women with thinner lips at pretreatment. Group 2: eight female patients with thicker lips at pretreatment. Photographs from before and 10 days after lip filling were used to assess attractiveness randomly displayed in a Google Forms questionnaire and then sent via a messaging app to the evaluators. The evaluators' groups were general dentists, dentists with degrees in facial aesthetics, and laypersons. The attractiveness was evaluated with scores from 0 to 10 (0: least attractive and 10 the greatest). T-tests were used for the statistical comparisons. The group with thinner lips showed significantly improved attractiveness after filling. The group with thicker lips showed a worsening attractiveness after filling. The group with thicker lips had significantly higher attractiveness scores than those with thinner lips. There was no significant difference in the preference between men and women. The group of laypersons was more rigorous, giving significantly lower lip attractiveness scores. Thinner lips showed a significant improvement in attractiveness after filling. Thicker lips showed a worsening of the attractiveness score after filling. Before and after filling, thicker lips had significantly higher attractiveness scores than thinner lips.Clinical relevance: The amount of fillers applied to each patient must be individually evaluated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to assess the soft and hard tissue cephalometric indexes of facial profiles perceived as attractive. METHODS A total of 360 individuals (180 females and 180 males) with well-balanced faces and no history of orthodontic or cosmetic procedures were selected. Twenty-six raters (13 females and 13 males) rated the attractiveness of profile view photographs of the enrolled individuals. According to the total score, the rated top 10% of photographs were selected as attractive. Overall, 81 (40 soft tissue and 41 hard tissue) cephalometric measurements were made on traced cephalograms of the attractive faces. The obtained values were compared with orthodontic norms and attractive Whites using Bonferroni-corrected t tests. They were also analyzed regarding age and sex effects using a two-way ANOVA test. RESULTS Significant differences were found between the cephalometric measurements of attractive profiles and orthodontic norms. Among the most important parameters were greater H angle and basic upper lip thickness in attractive males, and greater facial convexity and smaller nose prominence in attractive females. Also, attractive male participants had greater soft tissue chin thickness and subnasale perpendicular to the upper lip compared with attractive females. CONCLUSIONS According to the results, males with a normal profile and thicker protruded upper lips were perceived as more attractive. Also, females with a slightly convex profile, deeper mentolabial sulcus, less prominent nose, and shorter maxilla and mandible were perceived as more attractive.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to compare the effects of 3 different bone-borne type expansion appliances used in the surgically-assisted rapid palatal expansion (SARPE) by finite element analysis. METHODS Three different miniscrew-supported palatal expansion appliances were modeled. Median and lateral osteotomies were performed without pterygomaxillary suture separation. Model I consisted of a palatal expander with 2 miniscrews placed 4 mm far from the midpalatal suture. In model II, 2 miniscrews were located at the alveolar ridge between the first molar and the second premolar. In model III, 4 miniscrews were placed as a combination of the first and second models. Stress distributions and amount of displacements were evaluated with Ansys software (version 19.2; Ansys, Canonsburg, Pa) for 5-mm expansion in a symmetrical finite element analysis model to reflect the clinical situation. RESULTS SARPE simulation using miniscrew-assisted maxillary expanders for all models showed a rotation and tipping of the maxilla. The largest displacement was found for the anterior part of the palate in model II and the posterior part in model III. Although a wedge-shaped expansion pattern was observed in all models, this form was more prominent in model II. The highest stress value (0.91 MPa) was measured in model I, and the lowest value (0.004 MPa) was measured in model II for the anterior nasal spine region. The highest stress value (0.51 MPa) was measured in model III, and the lowest value (0.12 MPa) was measured in model II for the posterior nasal spine region. The lowest stress values were measured in model II for all the craniofacial and maxillofacial structures. CONCLUSIONS Among the models, the lowest stress distribution conditions for craniofacial and maxillofacial structures were found in model II. The largest displacement was found at the incisors and anterior part of the maxilla for model II. The greatest displacement was found at the posterior region for model III.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this investigation was to determine whether the facial esthetics of subjects rated as "attractive" can be related to specific cephalometric soft tissue parameters. METHODS The profile silhouettes of 100 subjects (45 males and 55 females) were rated by 60 esthetics specialists (20 orthodontists, 20 dentists, and 20 plastic surgeons) using a Likert scale, and 30 of the subjects were selected as being "attractive". The cephalometric measurements of the attractive group were then compared with norms for the general Caucasian population. RESULTS The effects of specific measured parameters on profile beauty grades were assessed using the median test, and the following variables were found to show significant correlations between the Caucasian norms and the attractive profile group: the ratio of the upper to lower face height (P = 0.011), the ratio of the subnasale - labrale inferius (Sn-Li) and labrale inferius - menton (Li-Me`) lines (P = 0.011), the distance between the chin and the subnasale perpendicular (P = 0.002), upper lip thickness (P = 0.021), soft tissue chin thickness (P = 0.021), vertical height ratio (P = 0.021), and nasolabial angle (P = 0.021). CONCLUSION A straight profile with a fuller and more protruded upper lip, a higher nasal tip, and a smaller lower facial third are considered to be the most attractive facial features, and may be useful for improvement of facial esthetics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Middle East has a significant influence on the global aesthetic market. Within the United States and globally, patients with Middle Eastern heritage have a wide range of ethnic and cultural backgrounds that affect their perceptions of beauty and motivations to seek cosmetic treatment. AIMS The aim of this roundtable was to discuss similarities and differences in anatomy and treatment preferences of Middle Eastern patients and explore how these differences may influence aesthetic practices. PATIENTS/METHODS In support of clinicians who wish to serve a diverse patient population, a 6-part international roundtable series focused on diversity in aesthetics was conducted from August 24, 2021, to May 16, 2022. RESULTS The results of the fourth roundtable in the series, the Middle Eastern Patient, are described here. A discussion of treatment preferences is included, and specific procedural information is provided for commonly treated areas in this population (forehead, infraorbital area, and jawline). CONCLUSIONS Middle Eastern patients have a variety of aesthetic preferences, which are influenced by a wide range of cultural backgrounds, making it difficult to develop general statements about this demographic. There is an unmet need for research into this diverse group of patients to help physicians understand and incorporate their unique needs and desires into clinical practice.

Psychometric and Perceptometric Comparisons of the Perspectives of Orthodontists, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, and Laypeople of Different Ages and Sexes towards Beauty of Female Jaw Angles (Intergonial Widths and Gonial Heights) on Frontal and Three-Quarter Views. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 2022:2595662. [PMID: 36398071 PMCID: PMC9666021 DOI: 10.1155/2022/2595662] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2022] [Revised: 09/21/2022] [Accepted: 10/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022]
Abstract
Objectives The jaw angle plays an important role in facial beauty. Therefore, this study is aimed at comparatively determining the range of most attractive female intergonial widths and gonial heights on Perceptometric frontal-view and three-quarter-view images, from the perspective of orthodontists, oral maxillofacial (OMF) surgeons, and laypeople of different ages and sexes. Methods This prospective multivariate Perceptometric study was performed on 4191 esthetic scores given by 127 individuals to 33 Perceptometric face images. Frontal view and three-quarter-view photographs of a normal young woman were modified by image editing software to create two Perceptometric sets, one for the 24 gradual changes of intergonial width on the frontal view, and the other for the 9 vertical changes of the jaw angle on the three-quarter view. An online questionnaire was designed including 24 frontal and 9 oblique view photographs. The questionnaires' internal consistencies were almost perfect. Enrolled were 127 raters, including 33 orthodontists, 32 OMF surgeons, and 62 laypeople. The esthetics of different images were compared across different professions, across different ages, and between the sexes using 2-way MANCOVA, ANCOVA, and Bonferroni; the zones of esthetic jaw angles and also the sensitivity of judges to Perceptometric anatomical changes were assessed using 2-way RM-ANCOVA and Bonferroni (α = 0.05, α = 0.0056, α = 0.0021, and β = 0.05). Results Orthodontists and surgeons gave the highest attractiveness scores to intergonial: interzygomatic ratio of 72.53%, while the best ratio was 74.45% for the laypeople. The range of beautiful intergonial is as follows: interzygomatic ratio was 72.53% to 86.03%. OMF surgeons and orthodontists gave the highest score to a gonial height of 4.5 mm above the mouth corner, while the laypeople gave the highest score to the gonial height of 4.5 mm below the mouth corner. The range of beautiful gonial height was from 4.5 mm above the mouth corner to 9 mm below the mouth corner. The education of observers may affect their perception of beauty; orthodontists tended differ from laypeople, overall and also specifically in the case of the highly attractive frontal images concerning the intergonial width changes. However, no such differences were detected between surgeons with orthodontists or laypeople. Although age did not affect the overall esthetic scores, it did affect the sensitivity of the judges to the anatomic changes. So did expertise, i.e., the expertise of judges affected their sensitivity to anatomical changes; orthodontists showed steeper slopes of esthetic preference alterations to anatomical changes, while laypeople had the gentlest slope of preference changes. Judges' sex did not affect either their overall esthetic preferences or their sensitivity to anatomic changes. Conclusion Narrower female jaw angles and jaw angles that are vertically close to the level of the mouth corner may be unanimously more desirable. Thus, treatments aiming at widening the jaw angle of a woman or lowering it should be discouraged, at least in Persians. Orthodontists, but not surgeons, are more sensitive than laypeople to anatomic changes of the jaw angle. The judges' age can affect this perceptive sensitivity, but their sex cannot.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Facial and smile attractiveness are significant motivating factor for patients to seek orthodontic treatment. Although there is a general belief that orthodontic treatment improves facial appearance, this has yet not been systematically evaluated. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to assess the current evidence on the effect of orthodontic treatment on facial attractiveness. SEARCH METHODS Systematic and unrestricted search of nine databases were performed up to January 2022. SELECTION CRITERIA Studies evaluating facial attractiveness before and after orthodontic treatment. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Extracted data included study design and setting, sample size and demographics, malocclusion type, treatment modality, and method for outcome assessment. Risk of bias was assessed with the ROBINS-I tool for non-randomized studies and with RoB-2 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Random-effects meta-analyses of mean differences and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were performed. RESULTS Twenty studies were included in data synthesis; three randomized controlled clinical trials and 17 non-randomized clinical studies of retrospective or prospective design. One of the RCTs was found to have low risk of bias, one presented some concerns and the third showed a high risk of bias. All non-randomized studies showed either unclear or high risk of bias. Data syntheses showed that orthodontic treatment improved facial attractiveness ratings by 9% when compared with untreated controls (MD: 9.05/95% CI: 4.71; 13.39). A combination of orthodontics and orthognathic surgery also showed a positive effect of 5.5% (MD: 5.51/95% CI: 1.55; 9.47) when compared with orthodontic treatment alone. There was no difference in effect between extraction and non-extraction treatments (MD: -0.89/ 95% CI: -8.72; 6.94) or between different types of Class II correctors (MD: 2.21/95% CI: -16.51; 20.93). LIMITATIONS With the exception of two RCTs, included studies were of unclear or low quality. CONCLUSIONS Orthodontic treatment has a clinically weak effect on facial attractiveness when compared to no treatment. The same is true when a combined orthodontic/surgical treatment is compared to orthodontics alone. REGISTRATION PROSPERO #: CRD42020169904.

[PMID: 35321954 PMCID: PMC8964466 DOI: 10.4041/kjod.2022.52.2.150] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2021] [Revised: 10/21/2021] [Accepted: 11/13/2021] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective To provide reliable prediction models based on dentoskeletal and soft tissue variables for customizing maxillary incisor positions and to optimize digitalized orthodontic treatment planning. Methods This study included 244 Chinese women (age, 18–40 years old) with esthetic profiles after orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances (133 in group I 1° ≤ The angle between the nasion [N]-A point [A] plane and the N-B point [B] plane [ANB] ≤ 4°; 111 in group II 4° < ANB ≤ 7°). Dental, skeletal, and soft tissue measurements were performed on lateral cephalograms of the participants. Correlation and multiple linear regression analyses were used to determine the influence of dentoskeletal and soft tissue variables on maxillary incisor position. Results The ideal anteroposterior position of the maxillary incisor varied between sagittal skeletal patterns. The position of the maxillary incisor correlated with the sagittal discrepancy between the maxilla and the mandible (ANB), protrusion of the midface, nasal tip projection, development of the chin, and inclination of both the maxillary and mandibular incisors. Distance from the maxillary central incisor to nasion-pogonion plane predicted using multiple linear regression analysis was accurate and could be a practical measurement in orthodontic treatment planning. Conclusions Instead of using an average value or norm, orthodontists should customize a patient’s ideal maxillary incisor position using dentoskeletal and soft tissue evaluations.

[PMID: 35033506 DOI: 10.1016/j.joms.2021.12.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2021] [Revised: 12/09/2021] [Accepted: 12/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to investigate whether there were differences in perception of facial profile esthetics at the upper lip, gnathic, and genial levels according to observer gender and age in the Korean layperson population. METHODS Ten male (M1 to M10) and 10 female (F1 to F10) silhouettes with differing facial profiles at the level of the upper lip, mandibular, and chin were created from a male and female facial profile deemed well-balanced and orthognathic by reviewer consensus. These silhouettes were presented to 288 participants who were asked to rank the 5 most attractive male and female profiles. The participants were composed of 144 males and 144 females divided into 4 age groups: group I (under 20 years), group II (20 to 39 years), group III (40 to 59 years), and group IV (over 60 years). The most preferred profile and observer scores were investigated and calculated. Descriptive analysis, χ2 test, and analysis of variance were used for statistical analysis according to age and gender. RESULTS The most preferred male and female silhouettes were orthognathic profiles. There was no significant difference according to gender when rating male (P = .281) and female (P = .442) silhouettes. No statistically significant difference was observed even when analyzed according to age groups. Although the difference in observer scores among each ranking showed a statistical difference according to age groups, the overall rankings showed a similar pattern both in male and female silhouettes. In the same age group, no difference in rank scores according to gender was observed. Severe concave profiles were found to have the lowest rank. CONCLUSIONS An orthognathic profile was rated as the most desirable in the Korean layperson population, with few differences in perception of esthetic facial profile according to age and gender.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:ijerph18168554. [PMID: 34444300 PMCID: PMC8394490 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph18168554] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2021] [Revised: 08/01/2021] [Accepted: 08/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
The objective of this study was to explore dental students’ facial profile preferences in a large sample of students. Nine hundred and nineteen dental students of four dental schools were involved. As part of a larger study on dentofacial esthetics, six photo series consisting of one unaltered and four altered variants of the same female profile were distributed among the students. The altered features were ones that are esthetically significant according to the literature. The students had to indicate the photo in each series that they preferred. The data were analyzed in a regression model in which preference in the given photo series was the dependent variable and gender, grade of studies, and dental school were the factors. Eight hundred and sixty-one students (93.7%) responded. Gender and dental school were not associated with the observed preferences, but the grade of studies was associated for three of the modified parameters: chin prominence, the sagittal position of the maxillary dental arch, and the simultaneous modification of the prominence of the chin and the nose. This study has confirmed several earlier observations, and new observations have also been made. We have demonstrated that the anteroposterior position of the maxillary incisors may be an important determinant of profile esthetics, even if this position does not influence the situation of the soft tissues and if the forehead cannot be used as a reference. We have also shown that the harmony between the nose and the chin overrides the importance of their individual dimensions.

Abstract
The diversity bonus theorem developed by Scott Page postulates that in specific environments, diversity is an absolute necessity to creating the most successful team. The theorem dispels the myth that institutions must choose between diversity and excellence. Within oral and maxillofacial surgery, this bonus is captured through expanded access to care, more equitable and relevant research, and attracting the best and brightest to the specialty. To capture the bonus, oral and maxillofacial surgery must invest in policy changes to admissions and hiring practices, and offer training in communication, cultural competency, and implicit bias.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Chin augmentation procedures are gaining in popularity. The purpose of this study was to validate the China (Allergan) Chin Retrusion Scale (CACRS) and to evaluate the reliability of the scale. A team of 10 physicians based in Beijing, China, consisting of 1 principal investigator and 9 independent raters, assessed a pool of subject images. Using standardized equipment to capture 2-dimensional images, 100 subjects were photographed from a left, lateral, 90° view. Two measures were used to assess the validity of the scale: rater evaluations of clinically significant differences in 52 pairs of images and rater assessment of chin retrusion using the CACRS to grade the 100 images. The CACRS demonstrated almost perfect inter-rater agreement during 2 validation sessions, with intraclass correlation coefficients of 0.89 and 0.90 at sessions 1 and 2, respectively. Overall inter-rater agreement for all 9 raters was almost perfect, with a weighted kappa of 0.82. Based on inter- and intra-rater agreement, the CACRS was validated for physician ratings of chin retrusion in Chinese subjects. Results from clinical significance evaluations indicated that a 1-grade difference between image pairs was considered clinically meaningful for the CACRS. The CACRS is a validated and reliable photonumeric scale for the assessment of chin retrusion in Chinese men and women. The scale is a clinically significant reference tool for evaluating the effect of chin augmentation.

Attractiveness assessment by orthodontists and laypeople judging female profile modifications of Class II Division 1 malocclusion. Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop 2021; 160:276-282. [PMID: 34006425 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajodo.2020.04.032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2019] [Revised: 03/01/2020] [Accepted: 04/01/2020] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The objective of this study was to evaluate the differences in preference between orthodontists and laypeople, judging soft tissue digital alterations of a Class II Division 1 profile of a female patient with mandibular retrognathia, produced by simulated camouflage and mandibular advancement therapy. METHODS The profile image of a White woman with a Class II Division 1 mandibular retrognathic profile was digitally modified to produce 7 pictures: 1 baseline, 3 stepwise increase in the nasolabial angle of 113°, 121°, and 129°, and 3 stepwise increase in chin-neck length of 51 mm, 54 mm, and 57 mm. Forty-four orthodontists and 162 laypeople assessed these 7 images. RESULTS The untreated baseline profile was found to be least attractive for both orthodontists and laypeople, with orthodontists scoring significantly lower than laypeople. The profiles representing mandibular advancement therapy were judged significantly better by both groups than camouflage therapy. Orthodontists preferred straighter profiles than laypeople, giving the highest-ranking to a chin-neck length of 57 mm, whereas laypeople gave the highest rank to a chin-neck length of 54 mm. CONCLUSIONS Orthodontists prefer straighter profiles and gave a lower ranking to the untreated Class II Division 1 female profile compared with laypeople. Orthodontists and laypeople favor mandibular advancement therapy over camouflage therapy. However, both groups seem to prefer the effect of both treatment modalities over the untreated baseline Class II Division 1 profile.

Effects of different surgical techniques and displacement distances on the soft tissue profile via orthodontic-orthognathic treatment of class II and class III malocclusions. Head Face Med 2021; 17:13. [PMID: 33853633 PMCID: PMC8048257 DOI: 10.1186/s13005-021-00264-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2020] [Accepted: 03/25/2021] [Indexed: 11/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Orthognathic surgery can be carried out using isolated mandibular or maxillary movement and bimaxillary procedures. In cases of moderate skeletal malocclusion, camouflage treatment by premolar extraction is another treatment option. All these surgical procedures can have a different impact on the soft tissue profile. Methods The changes in the soft tissue profile of 187 patients (Class II: 53, Class III: 134) were investigated. The treatment approaches were differentiated as follows: Class II: mandible advancement (MnA), bimaxillary surgery (MxS/MnA), upper extraction (UpEX), or Class III: maxillary advancement (MxA), mandible setback (MnS), bimaxillary surgery (MxA/MnS), and lower extraction (LowEX) as well as the extent of skeletal deviation (moderate Wits appraisal: − 7 mm to 7 mm, pronounced: Wits <− 7 mm, > 7 mm, respectively). This resulted in five groups for Class II treatment and seven groups for Class III treatment. Results In the Class II patients, a statistically significant difference (p ≤ 0.05) between UpEX and moderate MnA was found for facial profile (N′-Prn-Pog’), soft tissue profile (N′-Sn-Pog’), and mentolabial angle (Pog’-B′-Li). In the Class III patients, a statistically significant differences (p ≤ 0.05) occurred between LowEX and moderate MxA for facial profile (N′-Prn-Pog’), soft tissue profile (N′-Sn-Pog’), upper and lower lip distacne to esthetic line (Ls/Li-E-line), and lower lip length (Sto-Gn’). Only isolated significant differences (p < 0.05) were recognized between the moderate surgical Class II and III treatments as well between the pronounced Class III surgeries. No statistical differences were noticed between moderate and pronounced orthognathic surgery. Conclusions When surgery is required, the influence of orthognathic surgical techniques on the profile seems to be less significant. However, it must be carefully considered if orthognathic or camouflage treatment should be done in moderate malocclusions as a moderate mandibular advancement in Class II therapy will straighten the soft tissue profile much more by increasing the facial and soft tissue profile angle and reducing the mentolabial angle than camouflage treatment. In contrast, moderate maxillary advancement in Class III therapy led to a significantly more convex facial and soft tissue profile by decreasing distances of the lips to the E-Line as well as the lower lip length.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the effects of deviations in the nose and chin prominence on facial attractiveness. METHODS In this study, a reference digital photograph was taken from the facial profile view of an adult female model. Some changes were made in the nose and chin prominence in Photoshop software using the Crumley's analysis. Changes made in the nose prominence yielded a prominent nose (2:11 ratio), a normal nose (3:53 ratio) and a small nose (4:61 ratio). Changes made in the chin prominence were protrusion by +2 and 0 mm and retrusion by -2, -4 and -6 mm (distance from the pogonion to the vertical reference line). In total, 18 orthodontists, 18 oral and maxillofacial surgeons, 18 art students and 18 laypeople evaluated the photographs (n = 15) and expressed their opinion regarding the facial profile attractiveness using a visual analogue scale (0-100). Data were analysed using SPSS version 18. RESULTS A significant difference was noted in the ratings of photographs (Greenhouse-Geisser, P < 0.001). Orthodontists gave a significantly higher score than laypeople to photographs with a small nose and deviations of the chin prominence (P = 0.015). Art students gave a significantly higher score than laypeople to photographs with a prominent chin and deviations in the nose prominence (P = 0.012). CONCLUSIONS Facial profile with a normal (3:53 ratio) or small (4:61 ratio) nose and chin protrusion/retrusion by 2 mm (pogonion-vertical line) is considered attractive.

Abstract
The characteristics of what is considered a beautiful face differ between Eastern and Western countries.The authors of this study analyzed beauty pageant contestants using a three-dimensional (3D) photogrammetric analysis tool. All of the 3D photographs were taken between October and November 2016 in Seoul, Korea. The participants were 43 Miss Korea contestants (Group I) and 22 Miss Paraguay contestants (Group II).In absolute length, those in Group I had longer upper and middle faces. In the proportions of volume and length, Group I had larger upper and middle faces than Group II. Widths of the lower face and entire face were also wider in Group I. The lower facial index was larger in Group I. Group I had longer noses and wider intercanthal distance, not only in absolute length but also in proportion to the face. Group II showed thicker lips, longer chins, and wider noses relative to the face. Group II had wide eyes, in the absolute measurement and in proportion to the face. Group I participants appeared to have an increased height of eyes and had wider angles in their faces as well as wider nasofrontal, labiomental, and nasomental angles.The authors objectively established reference data for faces that are considered attractive in the East and the West. The data are expected to contribute to the clinical practice of plastic surgeons.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The purpose of this research was to prospectively determine the ratio of 2 soft-tissue landmarks, pogonion (sPg) and menton (sMe), to their hard-tissue counterparts (Pg and Me) in the sagittal and vertical directions for mandibular lengthening surgeries. METHODS We drew a sample from the prospective Orthognathic and Orthofacial Surgery Research study, consisting of patients who underwent surgical mandibular lengthening (alone or in combination with maxillary osteotomy) without genioplasty. We digitized landmarks using Facewizz software and determined the relationships between the hard- and soft-tissue changes by correlation analysis. RESULTS Pearson correlation test showed a significant correlation between the type of surgery and the sPg:Pg and sMe:Me ratios. The sPg:Pg ratio was 87% for mandibular lengthening only and 102% for mandibular lengthening in combination with maxillary surgery. The sMe:Me ratio was 85% and 96% for upward and downward movements, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The average ratios presented in this study for the pogonion and menton can aid in preoperative planning by providing estimates for soft-tissue behavior. Further stratifications will be possible after the Orthognathic and Orthofacial Surgery Research database is enriched with more inclusions.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There are few, controversial, and limited studies on factors associated with the perception of profile beauty. Moreover, no study has ever assessed the role of laterality in esthetic judgment. Hence, this clinical trial was conducted. METHODS Photographs of 6 patients (3 women) with normal lip position (Ricketts norm = 0 mm) and facial convexity (Legan-Burstone norm = 12°) were digitally manipulated to create two series of 9 gradient images each, with convexity changes of 2° and anteroposterior lip modifications of 1 mm. Half of profiles were flipped horizontally. Laypeople (n = 35), orthodontists (n = 19), and maxillofacial surgeons (n = 10) selected the esthetically acceptable images (6912 esthetic evaluations [2 parameters × 6 sets × 9 images × 64 judges]). Effects of photogrammetric stimuli and other factors on judges' zone of esthetical acceptability (ZA) and its midrange were assessed statistically (α = 0.05). RESULTS Orthodontists and surgeons had respectively the broadest and narrowest ZAs (p < 0.05, ANOVA). Mean midranges of surgeons, orthodontists, and laypeople were respectively 0.27 ± 1.35, 0.56 ± 1.46, and 0.41 ± 1.77 mm for males' lower lips (p = 0.710, ANOVA); 0.27 ± 1.10, - 0.44 ± 0.91, and 0.03 ± 1.56 mm for females' lower lips (p = 0.034); 10.40 ± 3.17°, 11.09 ± 2.86°, and 11.57 ± 3.84° for men's profile convexity (p = 0.246); 10.27 ± 3.20°, 11.05 ± 1.87°, and 11.13 ± 3.26° for women's profile convexity (p = 0.346). Judges' gender did not affect their esthetic perception (p > 0.1). When patients' left side of face was visible, judges' esthetic preference parameters shifted towards a less convex profile and a narrower ZA (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Slightly protruded lips (for men) and slightly less convex profiles (for men/women) might be favored by all groups. Women's esthetic lip positions might differ among groups. Judges' gender might not be a determinant. Subjects' face side can influence judges' esthetic perception of facial convexity.

Abstract
Aims and Objectives: The aims of the study were to comprehensively assess the perception of altered dentofacial aesthetics between dental students and laypersons and to identify the threshold where different variables such gender and clinical training impair dentofacial attractiveness. Materials and Methods: Ten photographs were digitally manipulated involving three facial, two smile, four dental, and one gingival components. Fifty images were randomized and rated according to attractiveness by two groups dental students which subdivided into preclinical students and clinical students, and laypersons. The participants evaluated the original and manipulated images using a visual analog scale. The responses were then analyzed using Mann–Whitney U test. Results: The results showed threshold levels of noticeable differences between varying levels of discrepancy. The overall perception of aesthetics was high among dental clinical students with the highest perception toward facial profile and the lowest toward gingival margin height. Of the respondents, no differences were found in the perception between male and female participants. Dental students perceived aesthetic components more accurately than laypersons. Conclusion: Dental students group had a better perception of dentofacial aesthetics than included laypersons. Unlike gender, clinical training has a substantial positive effect on the assessment of beauty. Dental students sub divided into dental preclinical students and dental clinical students (clinical training is a variable of all subgroups).

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Factors affecting the attractiveness of soft-tissue profile have been assessed in only a few studies, with limited methodologies (such as few variables, small sample sizes) and bivariable analyses. Therefore, this study was conducted to elucidate esthetic factors of profile silhouettes among a long list of cephalometric variables with the use of multivariable analyses for the first time. METHODS Profile silhouettes of 70 Iranians (35 men and 35 women) with Class I/good occlusions and balanced faces were rated twice by 10 Iranian laypersons, and were given overall profile beauty scores (from 10 to 50). After careful landmark identification by 3 orthodontists, unrepeated cephalometric measurements (from Holdaway, Ricketts, Z-Merrifield, Epker, and Legan-Burstone analyses) were traced twice on all cephalographs. The effects of these variables (plus sex and age) on profile beauty scores were assessed with the use of Pearson coefficient and multiple linear regression. Cephalometric characteristics of Persian attractive profiles (scores from 40 to 50) were compared with Caucasian orthodontic norms (α = 0.05). RESULTS The following variables were significant in the best models: soft-tissue facial angle (β = -0.348, P = 0.016), nose prominence (β = -0.245; P = 0.044), skeletal profile convexity (β = 0.255; P = 0.052), upper lip curvature (β = 0.405; P = 0.042), nasolabial angle (β = 0.546; P = 0.000), nasofacial angle (β = 0.259; P = 0.028), Z-angle (β = 0.557; P = 0.015), H-angle (β = -0.360; P = 0.013), upper lip to E-plane (β = 0.691; P = 0.001), lower lip to E-plane (β = -0.674; P = 0.002), Sn-lower lip (β = 0.338; P = 0.055), lower lip-menton (β = -0.299; P = 0.025), Sn FH-perp to upper lip (β = -0.425; P = 0.001), Sn-Stms:Stms-Me' (β = -0.372; P = 0.016), facial convexity angle (β = 0.710; P = 0.000), lower lip protrusion (β = -0.342; P = 0.005), and interlabial gap (β = -0.179; P = 0.050). Sex and age were not associated with profile attractiveness (P > 0.75). CONCLUSIONS More convex skeletal and soft-tissue profiles, less prominent noses with higher tips, subnasales anterior to the upper lip, more protruded upper lips, less prominent lower lips, smaller interlabial gaps, and more protruding chins might improve profile esthetics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Since results of surgical correction of unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) are controversial, and there is no study in this regard among Iranians, this study was conducted to document lateral cephalometric measurements of such cases, with respect to age, gender, and cleft side. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, 45 lateral cephalographs of individuals with UCLP who had undergone surgery but not orthodontic treatment were traced and 30 skeletal, dental and soft-tissue cephalometric measurements were measured. Parameters were compared between patients with UCLP and cephalometric norms. They were also compared between males and females, two age groups (≤8 and>8 years), and sides of cleft using the Student's t-test. RESULTS Only S-N-Pog and U1-SN values were significantly different between this sample and cephalometric norms. The variables were not significantly different between males and females. However, the values of ANB, Wits appraisal, Go-Gn, Go-Pog, U1-SN, interincisal angle, distance of upper lip to Ricketts E-line, and nasopharyngeal depth were significantly different between patients≤8 and>8 years (P<0.05). The S-N-Pog angle, Wits appraisal, Go-Gn, Go-Pog, U1-SN, interincisal angle and hypopharyngeal depth were significantly different between patients with right- and left-side clefts (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Measurements of patients with repaired UCLP were similar to cephalometric norms except for two parameters.

Consensus Opinions on Facial Beauty and Implications for Aesthetic Treatment in Middle Eastern Women. PLASTIC AND RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY-GLOBAL OPEN 2019; 7:e2220. [PMID: 31321192 PMCID: PMC6554175 DOI: 10.1097/gox.0000000000002220] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2018] [Accepted: 02/19/2019] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
Background: Middle Eastern women worldwide increasingly seek aesthetic treatment to enhance their beauty and improve self-esteem, but literature describing standards of beauty across the Middle East are scarce. Knowledge of facial anthropometry and Middle Eastern subregional beauty preferences and aesthetic weaknesses are key to develop an effective facial enhancement strategy that does not jeopardize ethnic identity or facial harmony. Methods: Dermatologists and plastic surgeons from 8 Middle Eastern countries who had 7.5–25 (mean 13.5) years of experience in aesthetic medicine examined female Middle Eastern beauty in 4 geographic subregions: the Gulf (comprising Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates), Iran, Lebanon, and Egypt. They developed consensus opinions regarding facial beauty, aesthetic deficiencies, and injectable treatment solutions. Results: Facial anthropometry differs between Middle Eastern and Western women, and also within the region. Although subregional differences are seen, beauty is generally recognized by an oval or round face; temple fullness; pronounced, elevated, arched eyebrows; large almond-shaped eyes; well-defined, laterally full cheeks; a small, straight nose; full lips; a well-defined jawline; and a prominent, pointed chin. The relative prominence of the nose necessitates attention to the lips and the shape and projection of the chin. Aging is often accompanied by midface sagging that leads to increased heaviness in the lower facial third. Conclusions: Middle Eastern beauty is characterized by striking eyes, defined cheeks, and full lips. These consensus opinions inform aesthetic practitioners who treat Middle Eastern women worldwide about their aesthetic ideals and the implications for treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study established about 50 anteroposterior and vertical cephalometric norms of five tracing analyses in Iranians, using a large sample. METHODS Lateral cephalographs of 130 subjects (85 females, 45 males, with an average age of 22.77 ± 2.55 years (range 20-29)) were traced manually using the Ricketts, Holdaway, Z-Merrifield, Epker, and Legan-Burstone soft tissue analyses. The role of age and sex on measurements, as well as the comparisons between Iranian norms with Caucasians from European decent, was determined statistically (α = 0.001). RESULTS Age had no significant effect (all P values > 0.01). Sexual dimorphism existed in terms of numerous parameters. Compared to analysis standards, upper lip to E-plane, nose prominence, upper lip thickness, nasomental angle, Z angle, interlabial distance, subnasale perp to chin, subnasale-stomion:stomion-menton, subnasale-lower lip:lower lip-menton, interlabial gap, and vertical lip-chin ratio were smaller in Iranians. Superior sulcus depth, skeletal profile convexity, upper lip strain, upper lip curvature, H-angle, soft tissue chin thickness, nasofacial angle, subnasale perp to upper lip, subnasale perp to lower lip, maxillary prognathism, lower face throat angle, upper lip protrusion, lower lip protrusion, mentolabial sulcus, and lower vertical height-depth ratio were greater in Iranians compared to the norm (P ≤ 0.001). CONCLUSIONS A great degree of sex dimorphism might exist among Iranians. Many textbook norms might not be the best options for diagnosis or treatment of Iranians.

Abstract
Background Photographic soft-tissue norms of Iranian race are not reported previously, nor are they compared with other ethnicities. Besides, sex dimorphism is assessed in only very few studies on soft-tissue profile. The aim of this study was to assess the soft-tissue measurements of Iranians with good occlusion and the existing sex dimorphism and to compare the Iranian norms with other ethnicities. Materials and Methods Twelve anthropometric variables were measured by a dentist in 100 Iranian subjects with good occlusions. The subjects included 50 males and 50 females. The differences between the two genders, as well as the differences between Iranian norms and the norms in all other ethnicities available in the literature were statistically analyzed using a t test (α = 0.05). Results There were significant differences between males and females regarding frontonasal angle (P = 0.0000), mentolabial sulcus (P = 0.0000), vertical height ratio (P = 0.0000), vertical lip-chin ratio (P = 0.0013), nasolabial angle (P = 0.0019), lower vertical height-depth ratio (P = 0.0029), maxillary prognathism (P = 0.0045), and mandibular prognathism (P = 0.0118). The difference in facial convexity was marginally significant (P = 0.0543). Protrusions of both lips and horizontal distance between the lips were not significantly different between sexes (P > 0.2). Conclusions Unlike Americans and Brazilians but similar to Koreans, there was considerable sex dimorphism in Iranians. Compared to Iranian men, women might have more convex profiles, more advanced mandibles (unlike all other races studied), more protruded maxillae, lips closer to the middle of nose-chin vertical distance, deeper mentolabial sulci, less protruded noses with higher nose tips, and smaller lower faces.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A validated scale is needed for objective and reproducible comparisons of chin appearance before and after chin augmentation in practice and clinical studies. OBJECTIVE To describe the development and validation of the 5-point photonumeric Allergan Chin Retrusion Scale. METHODS The Allergan Chin Retrusion Scale was developed to include an assessment guide, verbal descriptors, morphed images, and real subject images for each scale grade. The clinical significance of a 1-point score difference was evaluated in a review of multiple image pairs representing varying differences in severity. Interrater and intrarater reliability was evaluated in a live-subject validation study (N = 298) completed during 2 sessions occurring 3 weeks apart. RESULTS A difference of ≥1 point on the scale was shown to reflect a clinically meaningful difference (mean [95% confidence interval] absolute score difference, 1.07 [0.94–1.20] for clinically different image pairs and 0.51 [0.39–0.63] for not clinically different pairs). Intrarater agreement between the 2 live-subject validation sessions was substantial (mean weighted kappa = 0.79). Interrater agreement was substantial during the second rating session (0.68, primary end point). CONCLUSION The Allergan Chin Retrusion Scale is a validated and reliable scale for physician rating of severity of chin retrusion.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate differences in the influence of chin prominence and length on perception of facial aesthetics by Chinese dental clinicians, orthognathic patients, and dental students. STUDY DESIGN Male and female silhouette lateral profiles were modified to obtain 28 facial profiles by altering chin prominence and length by 3 mm in the sagittal and vertical planes. Images were rated by 70 clinicians, 30 orthognathic patients, and 100 dental students on a 7-point Likert scale. RESULTS Perceived attractiveness was highest when the male chin prominence (MCP) was -3 mm to 3 mm and the female chin prominence (FCP) was 3 mm. In contrast, male chin length (MCL) of 0 to 3 mm and female chin length (FCL) of 0 mm were considered the most attractive. In the sagittal and vertical profiles, MCP (-9 mm), FCP (-9 mm), FCL (-9 mm), and MCL (-9 mm) were ranked least attractive. CONCLUSIONS The overall aesthetic opinions of orthognathic patients, clinicians, and dental students are similar. The greater the retrusion or protrusion of the chin and the shorter or longer the chin length, the lower were the rates of facial aesthetics and the greater were the desire for surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the importance of facial photography in orthodontics has been recognized, there is only one study on its validity and absolutely no studies on its diagnostic value. This study was conducted, therefore, to evaluate for the first time the diagnostic merit of photography in detecting growth pattern and jaw relationships. METHODS Standardized lateral cephalographs and profile photographs were taken from 54 girls and 26 boys. On cephalometry, growth pattern (normal, horizontal, and vertical) and horizontal bimaxillary classification (Classes I to III) were determined. Using photographs, the angles FH-MP', CP'-MP', Sn-T-Me', cutaneous analog of ANB, facial convexity, and head position were calculated. Diagnostic photography-based measurements for detecting departures from the norm were calculated by counting correct and incorrect diagnoses, according to the gold standard (lateral cephalometry). RESULTS The sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive values, and the negative predictive value of FH-MP' photographic measurements in detecting growth disorders were 51.4, 77.8, 64.3, and 67.3 percent, respectively. These values were 45.7, 95.6, 88.9, and 69.4 percent for the CP'-MP' measurement, and were 40.0, 93.3, 82.4, and 66.7 percent for Sn-T-Me', and 51.4, 100, 100, and 72.6 percent for all of them combined. In detecting the horizontal relationship between the jaws, the photographic method showed an overall sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV of 80.9, 63.6, 76.0, and 70.0 percent, respectively. These values were 80.9 57.6 73.1 67.9 percent for cutaneous analog of ANB, 87.2, 45.5, 69.5, and 71.4 percent for facial convexity, and 61.7, 66.7, 72.5, and 55.0 percent for head position. CONCLUSIONS Profile photography can be used as a perfectly accurate measurement tool for detecting horizontal and vertical growth patterns. It is also a rather accurate method for detecting the normal growth pattern, as well as both Class I and non-Class I jaw relationships. These results highlight this non-invasive and economic method as an effective clinical diagnostic tool.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We aimed to evaluate the associations between the craniofacial growth pattern with interradicular distances (IRDs), cortical widths (CWs), and jaw heights (JHs). Also, we mapped safe zones for miniscrew implantation. METHODS Cone-beam computerized tomography data pertaining to 60 Class-I patients were divided into 3 growth groups: normal, horizontal, and vertical. IRDs and CWs were measured for bimaxillary canines to second molars, on buccal and lingual sides, at 3 transverse planes (1, 3, and 5 mm apically to the alveolar crest). JHs were measured in both jaws, between canines and second molars. The role of growth patterns and other variables were analyzed; also, safe zones were mapped with statistical substantiation. RESULTS IRDs were greater in the mandible, males, at points more distant from the ridge crest, and on the lingual side. Cortexes were thicker in the horizontal growth pattern, mandible, males, older patients, and lingual sides. JHs were greater in vertical growth pattern, mandible, and males. CONCLUSIONS The cortex might be thicker in patients with a horizontal growth pattern. The height might be greater in vertical growth pattern. IRDs might not be affected by growth pattern.

Abstract
PURPOSE Meeting patient desires for enhanced facial esthetics requires that providers have standardized and objective methods to measure esthetics. The authors evaluated the effects of objective 3-dimensional (3D) facial shape and asymmetry measurements derived from 3D facial images on perceptions of facial attractiveness. MATERIALS AND METHODS The 3D facial images of 313 adults in Iowa were digitized with 32 landmarks, and objective 3D facial measurements capturing symmetric and asymmetric components of shape variation, centroid size, and fluctuating asymmetry were obtained from the 3D coordinate data using geo-morphometric analyses. Frontal and profile images of study participants were rated for facial attractiveness by 10 volunteers (5 women and 5 men) on a 5-point Likert scale and a visual analog scale. Multivariate regression was used to identify the effects of the objective 3D facial measurements on attractiveness ratings. RESULTS Several objective 3D facial measurements had marked effects on attractiveness ratings. Shorter facial heights with protrusive chins, midface retrusion, faces with protrusive noses and thin lips, flat mandibular planes with deep labiomental folds, any cants of the lip commissures and floor of the nose, larger faces overall, and increased fluctuating asymmetry were rated as significantly (P < .001) less attractive. CONCLUSION Perceptions of facial attractiveness can be explained by specific 3D measurements of facial shapes and fluctuating asymmetry, which have important implications for clinical practice and research.

Effects of Sabbagh Universal Spring 2 fixed functional appliance on class II/1 patients at their postpubertal-peak growth period compared with the extraction method : A randomized clinical trial. J Orofac Orthop 2016; 78:41-51. [PMID: 27858112 DOI: 10.1007/s00056-016-0060-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2016] [Accepted: 08/01/2016] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic effects of the Sabbagh Universal Spring 2 (SUS 2) fixed functional appliance compared to the premolar extraction method in correcting class II/1 malocclusion in patients who had passed their peak of postpubertal growth (stages 4-6 of Cervical Vertebral Maturation Index). METHODS In all, 40 class II/1 patients were randomized to receive SUS 2 application (7 males, 13 females, age 15.75 ± 1.02 years) or maxillary premolar extraction (8 males, 12 females, age 15.40 ± 0.99 years). Pre- and posttreatment digital cephalographs were traced at least twice. A paired t test was used to compare the pre- and posttreatment measurements. Treatment changes were compared using an independent samples t test (P ≤ 0.05). RESULTS The extent of change was significant in the following variables: ANB, nasolabial angle, Mand1-ML, 1L-NB, anterior and posterior facial heights, N-A-Pog, 1U-NF, 6L-MP, Ar-Go, OP-HP, A-B, A-Sn, B-Sm, APDI, NAPog, AB-NPog, POr-DOP, SN-OcP, POr-OcP, Wits, 1 l-APog, 1LMeLm, S-Go:N-Me, N-ANS-Pog, Ap1LAp1u-DOP, ANS-Cond, Pog-Cond, SS-Ls, A-N-Pog, Pog-Pog', MeGoOcP, 1L-Npog, Go-Me, Go-Me:N-S, S-Me, Ls-(Sn-Pog'), Stms-Stmi, N'-Gn', N'NsPog', 6u-PTV, 1u-NA, FMIA, and IMPA. CONCLUSIONS SUS 2 corrected class II/1 malocclusion of patients in the postpubertal growth period by inhibiting the maxilla's forward growth, advancing the mandible, decreasing the nasolabial and interincisal angles, proclining the incisors, increasing the facial height, and clockwise rotation of the occlusal plane. Extraction reduced the interincisal angle and protruded the lower incisors. However, it did not change the soft tissue thickness and did not cause a clockwise rotation in the occlusal plane.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracies of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and panoramic techniques in predicting inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) exposure. The sample size was determined based on a pilot study. This prospective clinical series study included 59 third molar extraction sites with any of seven previously suggested panoramic signs of IAN exposure. The diagnosis of nerve exposure was done on panoramic and CBCT images. Molars were extracted and nerve exposure was evaluated clinically. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of CBCT method, and sensitivity and PPV of panoramic method were estimated). The panoramic and CBCT methods correctly classified 67.7% and 93.3%, respectively, of 60 cases. This difference was statistically significant (χ2=13.333, P=0.000). The sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV for CBCT were 97.4%, 85.7%, 92.7%, and 94.7%, respectively. The sensitivity and PPV of panoramic radiography were 67.8% and 97.6%, respectively. The signs with the highest sensitivity were interruption of the mandibular canal border and abrupt canal narrowing. None of the Pell and Gregory criteria, molar angulations, or three-dimensional canal-apex relationships was significantly associated with clinically confirmed IAN exposure. Panoramic radiography may miss about one-third of exposure cases, but a positive panoramic diagnosis is most likely to be a real exposure and should be taken seriously.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this before-after clinical trial was to evaluate nasolabial soft tissue changes in the frontal plane after bimaxillary surgery. METHODS A total of 20 skeletal Class III Iranian patients needing bimaxillary Le Fort I osteotomy plus mandibular setback surgery were enrolled in this trial. Patients underwent 4.02 ± 1.02 mm of maxillary advancement (Le Fort I osteotomy, 4.33 ± 1.21 mm in men, 3.81 ± 0.86 mm in women) and 7.13 ± 1.74 mm of mandibular setback (intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy, 7.71 ± 2.33 mm in men, and 6.74 ± 1.16 mm in women). Data were acquired via 2D frontal photographs. We compared pretreatment baseline (T 1), preoperative postorthodontic treatment (T 2), and postoperative (T 3) anthropometric measurements using repeated-measures ANOVA and Bonferroni tests (α = 0.05). RESULT The 20 patients (12 men, 8 women) were aged 21.85 ± 1.75 years. Between T 1 and T 2, nasal width, cutaneous upper labial heights increased overall; cutaneous lower labial height decreased (P < 0.05). Between T 2 and T 3, nasal width, widths of the philtrum and mouth, cutaneous upper-lip height, vermilion height of the lower lip, lateral upper-lip height increased; the upper-lip vermilion height and cutaneous lower lip height decreased (P < 0.05). The changes ranged between 0.5 and 5 mm. CONCLUSION The applied orthognathic surgery procedures might widen the alar base and mouth width. It might increase the lateral upper-lip height, vermilion height of the lower lip, and cutaneous and overall upper-lip heights while reducing upper-lip vermilion height and shortening the overall lower-lip height.

Abstract
Introduction Facial anthropometric measurement is considered an essential concern of surgeons, orthodontists, artists and forensic scientists. The aim of this study is to investigate facial anthropometric norms of the young Iranian population. Methods The study participants consisted of 200 healthy Iranian students (100 males, 100 females) aged 18-25 years old. Twenty-three liner and four angular measurements were investigated twice by a dentist. Independent-samples t test was used to compare indices between males and females and also between countries. A p value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results It was found that the mean measurements of c'-sn' of both sides, nasolabial angle, trichion-gnathion, tragion-tragion and gnathion-gnathion were statistically greater in Iranian males than in females (p < 0.05). Comparing Iranian anthropometric norms with North American Whites, Malays, Turkish and African American women demonstrated that there were statistically significant differences in most anthropometric measurements between Iranians and other populations (p < 0.05). Conclusion In Iranians, mean measurements of c'-sn' of the right and left sides, nasolabial angle, trichion-gnathion, tragion-tragion and gnathion-gnathion were greater in men than in women. Comparing Iranian males and females with different ethnicities indicated several interracial differences, which should be taken into consideration when dealing with patients or also practitioners originated in this region.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate esthetics perception and satisfaction of the facial profile among Iranian male adolescents and adults. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, male subjects referred to Orthodontic Department of Mashhad Dental School were enrolled (n = 84) and were divided into two groups: Adolescents (n = 39), and adults (n = 45). They were also assigned to straight, convex, or concave profile groups based on the facial profile angle (G-Sn-Pog’). An ideal silhouette of the lower facial profile was designed in Adobe® Photoshop® CS2 software (Kansas, USA). Then, eight other silhouettes representing different relations of the maxilla and mandible were constructed. Patients were asked to use numbers 1–10 to rank the facial profiles in the order of the attractiveness, and choose a silhouette that best closely resembled their own profile. Moreover, using a questionnaire patients were asked to rank their satisfaction with their profile, and asked to assign a number (1–5) to each question as follows; one represented the least satisfaction, while five reflected the highest satisfaction. Results: Adult and adolescent subjects with straight (adults: 12.0 ± 1.9, adolescents: 12.8 ± 1.05) and concave (adults: 10.0 ± 2.14, adolescents: 10.0 ± 2.08) profile showed the highest and the least satisfaction with their own profile, respectively. Both adult and adolescent group selected “retrognathic maxilla, prognathic mandible” as the least attractive profile. Overall, “straight” and “bimaxillary dentoalveolar retrusion” were chosen as the most attractive silhouettes in adolescent and adults, respectively. In comparison to a professional opinion (clinician ranking), 42.9% of adolescents and 22% of adults were able to correctly diagnose their own profiles type. Conclusion: Most of the male adolescents and especially adults diagnosis of their own profile differed with a professional assessment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM The purpose of this study was to investigate whether different camera lenses and dental specialties can affect the perception of smile esthetics. METHODS In the first phase of this study, 40 female smile photographs (taken from dental students) were evaluated by six orthodontists, three specialists in restorative dentistry, and three prosthodontists to select the most beautiful smiles. The 20 students with the best smile ranks were again photographed in standard conditions, but this time with two different lenses: Regular and then macro lenses. Each referee evaluated the beauty of the smiles on a visual analog scale. The referees were blinded of the type of lenses, and the images were all coded. The data were analyzed using two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U-tests (alpha = 0.05, alpha = 0.0167). RESULTS The lenses led to similar scores of beauty perception (Mann-Whitney P = 0.8). There was no difference between subjective beauty perception of specialties (Kruskal-Wallis P = 0.6). Two-way ANOVA indicated no significant role for lenses (P = 0.1750), specialties (P = 0.7677), or their interaction (P = 0.7852). CONCLUSION The photographs taken by a regular lens and then digitally magnified can be as appealing as close-up photographs taken by a macro lens. Experts in different specialties (orthodontics, prosthodontics, and restorative dentistry) showed similar subjective judgments of smile beauty.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study was to assess the soft tissue measurements of Iranians with good occlusion and to compare the Iranian norms with other ethnicities. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 25 anthropometric variables were measured by a dentist in 50 Iranian Class I subjects (25 males, 25 females) with good occlusion and well-balanced faces. The differences between the two genders, as well as the differences between Iranian norms and the Holdaway and Burstone analyses, were statistically analyzed using a t-test (α=0.05). RESULTS The subjects' mean age was 21.6±4.1 years. There were significant differences between males and females regarding the mentocervical angle, the nasolabial angle, Merrifield's Z-angle, the angle of facial convexity, soft tissue chin thickness, and upper lip thickness (P<0.05). The Holdaway norms can be used for the Iranian population, except for the following measurements which might be significantly different: facial convexity angle, nasolabial angle, interlabial gap, soft tissue facial angle, skeletal profile convexity, H-angle, lower lip to H-line, lower sulcus depth, and soft tissue chin thickness (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS There was a considerable sex dimorphism in the Iranian population. The Holdaway norms are not useful for the Iranian population regarding most measurements.

Abstract
PURPOSE The effect of image quality or dental specialties on the subjective judgment of facial beauty has not been evaluated in any study. This study assessed the effect of digital sensors and specialties on the perception of smile beauty. MATERIALS AND METHODS In the first phase of this double-blind clinical trial, 40 female smile photographs (taken from dental students) were evaluated by a panel of three prosthodontists, six orthodontists, and three specialists in restorative dentistry to select the most beautiful smiles. In the second phase, the 20 students having the most appealing smiles were again photographed in standard conditions, but this time with three different digital sensors: full-frame 21.1-megapixel, half-frame 18.0-megapixel, and compact 10.4-megapixel. The same panel judged smile beauty on a visual analog scale. The referees were blinded to the type of sensors, and the images were all coded. The data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis, and Mann-Whitney U tests (α = 0.05 and 0.0167). RESULTS The mean scores for full-frame, half-frame, and compact sensors were 6.70 ± 1.30, 4.56 ± 1.29, and 4.40 ± 1.39 [out of 10], respectively (Kruskal-Wallis p < 0.0001). The differences between the full-frame and the other sensors were statistically significant (Mann-Whitney p < 0.01); however, the difference between the half-frame and compact sensors was not statistically significant (p > 0.1). Sensors (ANOVA p < 0.00001) but not specialties (p = 0.687) affected the perception of beauty. CONCLUSIONS According to the results of this study, image quality affected the perception of smile beauty. The full-frame sensor produced consistently better results and was recommended over half-frame and compact sensors. Dentists of different specialties might have similar standards of smile beauty, although this needs further assessment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to assess whether non-extraction, two-premolars and four-premolars extraction Class II treatment protocols are different regarding long-term facial aesthetics, age appearance, and soft-tissue measures. METHODS Frontal and lateral photographs of 63 full Class II division 1 patients, treated at least 8 years before, were evaluated by 83 laypeople and 76 orthodontists, who assigned to each one's attractiveness scores from 1 to 10, and opined about their apparent ages. Patients were divided in three groups: XP0 (non-extraction, n = 20; 30.77 years, 15.63 years post-treatment), XP2 (two-premolars extractions, n = 25; 30.99 years, 15.68 years post-treatment), and XP4 (four-premolar extractions, n = 18; 32.80 years, 18.01 years post-treatment), that were matched by gender, post-treatment occlusal and soft-tissue outcomes, age, and post-treatment time. Soft-tissue measures were obtained with Dolphin Imaging 11.5 software. RESULTS Two-way analysis of variance revealed that attractiveness and apparent age were not affected by treatment protocols, but laypeople were slightly more critical then orthodontists. Analysis of variance showed more vertical facial pattern in XP4 group. Pearson correlation test revealed no influence of soft-tissue measures on sample's attractiveness. CONCLUSIONS Treatment of full Class II division 1 malocclusion with and without extractions did not influence facial attractiveness, age appearance, and overall soft-tissue measures in the long-term.

Abstract
Background and objectives As the most common complication of orthodontic treatment, pain can negatively impact quality of life and cause patients to discontinue treatment. However, few studies have evaluated pain during orthodontic treatment, with controversial findings. This study assessed the intensity and duration of pain and discomfort caused by active orthodontic treatment. Methods This descriptive cross-sectional study examined 67 patients (22 men, 45 females; age range: 18–32 years) undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment. Patients were interviewed after the active treatment stage to assess their perceived pain and discomfort at different sites during different activities by a visual analogue scale. Frequency and duration of pain in different areas were analyzed by the chi-squared and chi-squared goodness-of-fit tests (α = 0.05). Results Among the 67 patients, 65.7% experienced general dentogingival pain or discomfort and 34.3% had localized dentogingival pain or discomfort (p = 0.010, chi-squared goodness-of-fit test). Masticating soft foods reduced discomfort (p = 0.000, chi-squared) in the tongue, cheeks, and in or around the teeth and gingivae. Pain and discomfort were mostly moderate while masticating sticky, fibrous, and firm foods. Mild pains were mostly reported during tooth brushing and while consuming soft foods (p < 0.05, chi-squared). Pain and discomfort tended to last for more than 4 weeks, except in the tongue, where pain and discomfort lasted less than 4 weeks (p < 0.05, chi-squared goodness-of-fit test). Conclusions Pain and discomfort occur for more than 4 weeks after beginning fixed orthodontic treatment. Changing diets to incorporate softer foods is recommended to alleviate pain.

Abstract
Congenitally missing teeth (CMT), or as usually called hypodontia, is a highly prevalent and costly dental anomaly. Besides an unfavorable appearance, patients with missing teeth may suffer from malocclusion, periodontal damage, insufficient alveolar bone growth, reduced chewing ability, inarticulate pronunciation and other problems. Treatment might be usually expensive and multidisciplinary. This highly frequent and yet expensive anomaly is of interest to numerous clinical, basic science and public health fields such as orthodontics, pediatric dentistry, prosthodontics, periodontics, maxillofacial surgery, anatomy, anthropology and even the insurance industry. This essay reviews the findings on the etiology, prevalence, risk factors, occurrence patterns, skeletal changes and treatments of congenitally missing teeth. It seems that CMT usually appears in females and in the permanent dentition. It is not conclusive whether it tends to occur more in the maxilla or mandible and also in the anterior versus posterior segments. It can accompany various complications and should be attended by expert teams as soon as possible.
