Students in preclinical and clinical levels evaluated the original and manipulated images using a visual analogue scale scored from 1 to 5 where 5 is the standard image and 1 is the least pleasant one. The responses were then analyzed using Mann\u2010Whitney test. A <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> value of\u2009&lt;\u2009.05 was considered significant.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Four hundred and eight dental students participated in this study. With regard to the overall esthetics, males and clinical students scored higher than females and preclinical students, respectively, did. With regard to the individual esthetic components, males had significantly higher scores in buccal corridors, midline shift, clinical crown width, and gingival marginal height, while females had significantly higher score in median diastema (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.05). Clinical students had a better perception of facial asymmetry, gingival display, buccal corridors, and clinical crown width compared to the preclinical students. Effect of GPA was minimal and even contradictory; students with lower GPA had a better perception of midline deviation and occlusal canting than those with higher GPA scores.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Male dental students, and unexpectedly unlike females, have a better perception of facial and dental esthetics.
