Abstract

Objective:

To determine the perception of aesthetically pleasing Vertical display of maxillary teeth of complete denture in posed smile among edentulous patients.

Materials and Methods:

Fifty-three edentulous patients, age range 35 to 85 years, who visited department of Prosthodontics at Sardar Begum Dental College and Khyber College of Dentistry Peshawar to seek complete denture treatment, were included in this cross-sectional descriptive study. Picture of an edentulous patient wearing complete denture was modified using ADOBE PHOTOSHOP software. Six pictures with different vertical display of maxillary teeth were shown to edentulous patients and their perception was recorded in specially designed questionnaire.

Results:

Out of 53 edentulous patients, 31 were males and 22 were females. Picture 5 (80% of vertical display of maxillary teeth) was selected as most attractive by 34% patients. The same picture was considered most natural by 16 (30.2 %) patients. Picture 1 (with no maxillary teeth display) was considered as most artificial by 52 (98.11 %) patients.

Conclusion:
