Survey evaluates aesthetic perception differences related to dental midline deviations and diastemas among dental students, suggesting education level influences sensitivity.
Key Points
Significant aesthetic perception changes occurred with varying degrees of dental midline deviations.
Dental diastemas significantly reduced aesthetic ratings, with increasing widths leading to less favorable perceptions.
Clinical students showed greater sensitivity to midline deviations compared to preclinical students.
Prior dental treatment history affected aesthetic perceptions only in specific controlled conditions.
