IDM – Smile Aesthetics

ABSTRACT

According to psychologist Albert Mehrabian’s communication model, only 7% of what we communicate is actually verbal, the rest is body language and 55% of body language is encompassed by your smile.

Although ideal occlusion should be the primary functional goal of orthodontics, the esthetic result is also critical for patient satisfaction and therefore should be included in the overall treatment objectives.

The presentation strives to provide an insight into the importance of smile aesthetics while also including the various components of smile aesthetics. The components discussed are lip line, smile arc, upper lip curvature, lateral negative, smile symmetry, occlusal frontal plane, dental and gingival components.

The presentation also includes few case reports of out of the exhaustive set of cases treated in the Department of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics at Rajarajeswari Dental College and Hospital. The various components of smile that have improved during the course of orthodontic treatment are also explained in detail.

These concepts of smile esthetics are not new, but are too often overlooked in orthodontic treatment planning.

The eight components of the smile should be considered not as rigid boundaries, but as artistic guidelines to help orthodontists and practitioners treat individual patients who are today, more than ever, highly aware of smile esthetics.

Faculty Authored Book Release Function

“Take it easy is a concept of common people. But make it easy is a concept of brilliant people – Anto Henry”

The above quote says it all. It’s with my own experience as a student and over the years of teaching that it struck me that I should strive to make the subject easily comprehendible to the students. I always strived to be a good teacher and wanted my students to get the basics right and build on it. Hence, I dedicate this book to all the students. This book provides a widely useful compilation of all the topics of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics. Many books are available as text and references in the subject. However, there has been a need for a comprehensive manual encom- passing all the topics of Conservative Dentistry and Endodon- tics. I hope this book fulfills the need to a great extent and is helpful to the undergraduate students in preparing for their examination and to hone a strong basic foundation for the post graduates as well. This book will be very useful and handy for preparing for the exam, theoretically as well as practically. Emphasis has been laid on the topics taking into consideration the syllabus cited by the university.

The online release was done on the women’s day.

The book is now made available on Amazon as well as flipkart for purchase.
