Abstract

 OBJETIVO: To evaluate the perception of the attractiveness of the smile and its influence in the subjective evaluation of the social competence, intellectual capacity and psychological balance. Materials and methods: An exploratory, descriptive, transverse study was carried out; In two stages: The first consisted of an online survey of 25 dentists about the aesthetic characteristics of the smile; And in the second, 26 people were surveyed, where each participant was asked to judge on the personal characteristics of a single color photograph. A photograph of a woman with alterations in the gingival exposure ( EG+ 4mm) and buccal corridor(CB amplio). was used. The Anova test for independent samples was used to compare the mean of the different groups. Results: The participants assessed the person photographed with the alteration of the two aesthetic parameters studied, with an average value of pleasantness of the smile of 8.01 + 1.08; As well as, more competent from a social point of view, with good intellectual performance and psychological balance. Conclusion: The judgments that one person makes on the personal characteristics of another, are influenced by the attractiveness of the smile; However, does not coincide with the appreciation of the dentist.
