With the increasing influence of social media, aesthetic standards have become more dynamic and may differ between individuals with professional dental education and laypersons. This study aimed to compare dental aesthetic perceptions between dental students and laypersons and to investigate the influence of social media.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      This cross\u2010sectional study included 242 participants aged 18\u201330 years, comprising 130 dental students and 112 laypersons.
