Refers to:
- The philosophy study of beauty and taste
- The perception of the beautiful in nature and art
- Relating to the study of the principles of beauty
Esthetics
What are the 3 main categories of esthetics?
- Facial Esthetics
- DentoFacial Esthetics
- Dental Esthetics
_____ esthetics
- Occlusal Vertical Dimension
- Facial lower 1/3
- Lip Support
- Rickett’s “E” plane
- Nasolabial Angle
Facial Esthetics:
\_\_\_\_\_ esthetics \:-Smile Analysis -Anterior Tooth Display -Dental Midline -Occlusal Plane
DentoFacial Esthetics
\_\_\_\_\_ esthetics: \:-Width:Height proportion -Tooth:Tooth Proportion -Gingiva -Papilla height -Zeinth positions -Embrasures -Tooth Long axis
Dental Esthetics
Inner Canthus / Ala of nose corresponds to the width of what teeth?
Canine width
Fundamentally the ________ is simply a line drawn from the tip of
the nose to the tip of the chin. The key assessment was to look
at how the upper and lower lip related to that line.
“E” plane
Dr. Ricketts felt that to have a pleasing facial profile, in the average
Caucasian face, the lower lip would be ___mm behind the E line,
and the upper lip 4 mm behind the E line, with variations being
normal for patients of different ethnic backgrounds, but with
some commonalities applying to all patients.
2 mm (lower lip); 4 mm (upper lip)
Those commonalities would be that the _____ to the “E” plane the
lips are, in some cases even being anterior to the plane, the lips
and teeth will dominate the smile with the nose and chin
appearing weak. And the _______ the plane the lips are,
the more likely the nose and chin will dominate the smile.
closer; farther behind
_____ refers to the angle of the nose and lip
- Greater than 90 degrees = Convex
- Less than 90 degrees = Concave
Nasolabial angle
The incisal curvature parallels the curvature of the ____ lip when smiling
Lower lip
- Overall length of maxillary teeth are displayed
- Interproximal gingiva shows
- Incisal curvature parallels the lip curvature
- Incisal curvature totally or slightly touches lower lip (within 2mm)
- 6 Maxillary anterior and 2nd premolars are displayed
- Maxillary midline coincides with a harmonious balance of smile.
Smile Analysis:
-Incisal edges of the maxillary anterior teeth
-Parallels the inner curvature of the lower lip and
interpupillary line
-Perpendicular to the facial/dental midline
Incisal Curve (Smile line)
Full smile – lip moves to incisor tooth-gingiva
interface
-____% of young people show entire length of
central incisors
80%
Low Lip Line– Less than __% incisors showing with no
gingival display
75%
Women have ___ smile line twice as often as men
high
Central incisors and canines lie on the save curved
line
-Incisal edges of laterals are _____ of this
line
1.0mm short
T/F: -Incisal curve touches the lower lip
-or within 2mm
true
What are the 4 reasons for max excessive gingival display?
- Hyperactive lip
- Vertical Maxillary Excess
- Altered Passive Eruption
- Dentoalveolar Extrusion
- HyperActive Lip
- Normal movement ~ ____ mm
- Hyperactive ~ up to 2 times that movement
6-8mm
