  • Research summary

    This is a questionnaire based study, focussing on the influence of tooth shape on the perceived smile appearance. Photographs of varying tooth shape will be presented in a questionnaire, asking participants to rank them according to attractiveness. I am hoping to survey dentists, dental technicians and dental patient on the perception of attractiveness.
