Study Notes

Younger patients tend to prefer lighter tooth colors, while older patients' teeth naturally darken due to secondary dentin, enamel wear, and external staining.
Females are reported to prefer brighter teeth than males, and the color of teeth should harmonize with the color of one's face.
The teeth should be proportional to the size of the face and head, with women's teeth typically smaller than men's.
Winkler's concept suggests selecting teeth based on physiological, psychological, and biomechanical perspectives.
Facial musculature contributes to the esthetics of a patient and can influence the appearance of dentures.
Camper's line is a psychological plane of orientation that is raised in happy people and tilted in depressed people.
Teeth should be set in the neutral zone according to biomechanical considerations.
Seven anatomic entities are used as guides to select the size of anterior teeth, including the size of the face, incisal papilla, maxillomandibular relations, residual ridges, and lips.
Anterior tooth selection considers the shape of the patient's face and profile, with the labial surface of the upper central incisor harmonizing with the profile of the face.
