Abstract:

Patients are continuously more interesting to improve their smile attractiveness. Because of that, cosmetic dentistry is becoming an object of concern and increasingly more patients are seeking to improve the esthetics of their smiles. Therefore, systematic comprehensive facial and dental analysis must be approached before commencing any esthetic treatment. The aim of this review is to prepare appropriate, extensive, easy managing clinical tool to help clinicians to accomplish and implement a comprehensive smile assessment. We aim to adopt a systematic approach toward smile assessment, and introduce smile assessment parameters in a form that will assist clinicians in identifying and recording smile features for diagnosis and treatment planning. Overall, far reaching, esthetic parameters will be arranged in a suitable form. Proposed parameters will be arranged to facilitate objectiveness of the facial design. Also, they will help patients to determine factors of dissatisfaction and/or concern during dental treatments. Smile assessment could also become essential for diagnosis, treatment planning and to define any limitations in the dental treatments. Conclusively, complex structure of smile esthetic parameters organized in specific software will allow the patients liberty of decision taking and could become a part of the process of treatment consent.
