Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the accuracy and reproducibility of indigenously developed profile, smile, and dento-gingival coding and grading system for evaluating facial aesthetics. 100 participants (BDS students and practitioners, MDS (orthodontics) students and practitioners, 25 in each group) will be included in this study, and a PowerPoint presentation explaining various parameters of the PSD coding system will be explained and participants will be trained to use it. A template of 10 sets of photographs will be provided to these participants to analyze on the basis of an innovative PSD coding system and assign grading and scoring accordingly. The data obtained from each group will be analyzed statistically to evaluate the accuracy and reproducibility of an innovative PSD coding and grading system for facial aesthetics.
