Abstract
A cross-sectional study involving assessment of 30
completely edentulous individuals for complete denture aesthetics. Denture aesthetics assessment was
done at the trial denture clinical visit. Width of the central incisor was selected using Pound’s formula.
Central incisor thus selected was used along with a golden proportion grid for proportioning the width of
lateral incisor and canines respectively. This grid further helped in arrangement of maxillary anterior
teeth in golden proportion ratio. The esthetic evaluation of the smile of the participants was carried out
during denture trial. Of the 30 patients, smile evaluation of 15 patients was done by dentist and of the
other 15 patients were done by the patient themselves, using a 3-point questionnaire.Results:
Descriptive statistics included calculation of means and standard deviation using multivariate analysis.
Patient’s perspective (Group 1) of fifteen smile analysis revealed 93.3% of the denture smile better than
their natural smile, 80% of denture teeth size better than their natural teeth predecessor, and 78% of
their denture teeth proportionally gratifying. The dentist’s perspective (Group 2) of fifteen smile
analysis revealed 92% of denture smile better than the natural teeth smile seen in the patient’s
photograph, 93% and 90% smile better as on the denture teeth size and proportionality
