A total of 123 individuals (41 patients, 41 dental students and 41 dentists) completed a structured questionnaire and evaluated 6 pictures of the same smile modified in Adobe Photoshop\u00ae image-editing software representing: no gingival recession, 2 mm recession in one maxillary lateral incisor, 2 mm recession in both maxillary lateral incisors, 2 mm recession in one maxillary canine, 2 mm recession in both maxillary canines and generalized 2 mm recession. The visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to rate the esthetic perception. Mean VAS values were calculated and compared among gingival situations as well as group of respondents by one-way ANOVA, with an alpha level of 0.05. VAS analysis revealed that mean values ranged from 4.2 (\u00b11.8) to 6.8 (\u00b11.7). Images with no gingival recession received the highest score by all groups, with statistically significant differences among dentists and dental students. However, patients scored images with no recession with significantly lower ranks as compared with dentists and dental students. No significant differences were observed among patients for any of the situations. When dentists and dental students were compared, the worst situation was observed for generalized gingival recession, with scores 4.2 (\u00b11.8) and 4.9 (\u00b11.8), respectively. Patients and dental professionals had different perceptions about esthetics related to gingival margin position.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/0103-6440201302223","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,11,21]],"date-time":"2013-11-21T21:11:43Z","timestamp":1385068303000},"page":"385-390","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["Perception of Smile Esthetics Varies Between Patients and Dental Professionals When Recession Defects are Present"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Marta Liliana","family":"Musskopf","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"UFRGS -
