Overview

Survey evaluates facial aesthetics in dental students, revealing significant gender and education level differences.

Key Points

  • Clinical students showed superior aesthetic perception scores than preclinical students, enhancing their ability to evaluate aesthetics.
  • Female dental students rated lower facial height perceptions significantly higher than male students (p = 0.014).
  • Overall, aesthetic perception scores were high, averaging 82.63 ± 8.5 among 493 participating dental students.
  • The presence of a dentist in the family did not notably affect students' aesthetic perception scores, indicating other influencing factors.
