Abstract

Appearance is important in social interactions and are very subjective. The pa-tients’ demand is crucial to achieve successful esthetic results. Demographic background may be one of the contributing factors that lead to such a demand. Orofacial Esthetic Scale (OES) has been developed to measure these esthetic as-pects. It contains seven (7) orofacial esthetic aspects. A total of 70 patients requir-ing anterior direct or indirect restorations were recruited through convenience sampling and answered OES during their visit to the dental clinic in Universiti Ke-bangsaan Malaysia. A chi-squared test was used to correlate patient’s back-ground variables and their orofacial esthetic perception. Patients were generally satisfied with their overall orofacial esthetic. Three esthetic aspects that patients were most dissatisfied with were missing tooth (77.5%), asymmetrical dental arch (42.9%) and tooth color (41.4%). Patients’ orofacial esthetic perceptions did not differ significantly regardless of their various backgrounds, except ethnicity. The findings suggested that there was no significant influences of background varia-bles on patient’s orofacial esthetic perception. OES can serve as a comprehensive index for clinicians to understand patients’ orofacial esthetics perception and ex-pectation of treatment outcomes.
