Abstract

Physical appearance plays a key role in human social interaction. Moreover, the impact of dental appearance goes beyond the attractiveness of a face; it affects others’ perceptions about their personal traits. Children with a normal dental appearance are considered more attractive and perceived as socially and intellectually more competent than those with visibly altered dental esthetics. The first evidence of variation from normal dentition is the difference in the colour. Thus, dental esthetics is becoming the main reason for seeking dental treatment among children and adolescent patients.
