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.
