Perspective Of Facial Esthetics In

Dental Treatment Planning

 Throughout time mankind had expressed the
ideal beauty of human through sculpture, art
and philosophy

 Significance influence of beauty lies in the

lower 1/3 of the face.

 For example : Pleasing smile, lip fullness

 In order to fulfil patient desire for aesthetics,

evaluation of face must be accompany with 1/3

primary link between function and esthetics
Ideal occlusal plane position is well-defined by functional and anatomic requirements.
slight variation will lead to occlusal instability
The anterior maxillary occlusal plane is determined by lip relationships at rest and when smiling.

RELAXED LIP POSTURE
lips at rest provide two important landmarks for locating
the incisal edge of the maxillary anterior teeth:

 Proportional balance of the lip to existing facial

structure must first be confirmed
 Natural head position is required in facial analysis that
includes lip/tooth relationships
 • No tooth contact
• Lips slightly parted
• Edge of max. incisors provides support for
Mandible In upper lip and extend below about 1-5 mm
Rest Position • Depend on facial form, anatomic lip length,
age and sex and patient’s preference

• Incisal 1/3 of max.incisors is covered by wet

mucosal surfaces of lower lip
Teeth In • Lip closure must be easy and graceful
Maximum • Form of lower lip affected by incisor
position
Intercuspation • Max.tooth position and VDO give effect on
length of mand.incisor teeth
