ESTHETICS


THE WORD ESTHETICS COMES
FROM THE GREEK WORD
“AISTHETIKOS” MEANING ‘OF
SENSE OF PERCEPTION’
WORD MEANING- a branch of
philosophy dealing with beauty,
especially with judgments of taste
concerning them- Webster's dictionary
www.indiandentalacademy.com

3.
THE ESTHETIC HERITAGE



Man, perhaps subconsciously, has
been aware of facial esthetics for a long
time.
35,000 years ago the early man
discovered the mental agility for
survival & made life easier.
It was probably during this period that
men found the time to develop his
esthetic awareness & sensitivity.

THE EGYPTIANS

THE EGYPTIAN CULTURE
DEVELOPED IN THE NILE VALLEY
AROUND 5000 YEARS AGO &
DURING THIS ERA A GREAT DEAL
OF ESTHETIC ATTITUDES WERE
RECORDED IN ART

THE GREEKS



The Greeks were the 1st to express sensitivity
to qualities of facial beauty through
philosophy & sculpture.
While the philosophers formalized the study
of beauty, the sculptors implemented the
expression of beauty in their art.
Greek sculptures blossomed in 4th & 5th
century B.C. often called as the “GOLDEN
AGE OF GREECE”

THE ROMANS



The Romans profusely documented beauty by coping
or reworking Greek sculptures & by carving original
subjects.
Unfortunately, Roman sculptures was never
formalized or idealized, no new concepts of facial
esthetics are related in these works.
Faces of men were represented life so these works
showed a range of facial features, harmony &
proportions.

RENAISSANCE


In his time
MICHELANGELO
strongly influenced the
direction & spirit of Italian
Renaissance
movement.
His sculptures identified
with the classical
traditions of Greece &
Rome.


IN 1865 AN OBJECTIVE STUDY OF
HUMAN ESTHETICS WAS
INTRODUCED BY A BRTISHER,
WOOLNOTH. ACCORDING TO HIM
PROFILES ARE SEEN IN 3 ORDERS –
THE STRAIGHT, THE CONVEX & THE
CONCAVE.

PROFILE CHANGES IN GROWING
FACE

1.
2.
3.
The face of a child is vertically short
because
Nasal part of the face is still small
The primary & secondary dentition has not
fully established
The jaw bones have not grown to the
vertical extent that would support the full
dentition & the enlarging masticatory
muscles & airway

LOW NASAL BRIDGE
SMALL MOUTH &
OVERALL WIDE & SHORT
PROPORTIONS
www.indiandentalacademy.com

15.

The baby’s face appears relatively
smaller than the cranium. This is
because the growth of the brain slows
down considerably after about the 3 rd or
4th year of child hood, but the facial
bones continue to enlarge for many
more years.

17.
MALE V/S FEMALE

The overall body size of the male tends
to be larger than that of the female &
the male lungs correspondingly more
sizable to provide for the relatively more
massive muscles & body organs. This
calls for a large airway beginning with
the nose & the nasopharynx.

FACIAL TYPES
MESOFACIAL
( IDEAL) TYPE
Most often associated with
C I occlusions since these
patients are characterised
by relatively normal max.
& mandi. relationship
resulting in good facial
balance.

www.indiandentalacademy.com

21.
DOLICIFACIAL TYPE
These patients have long &
weak musculature
because of the tendency
for vertical growth. The
molar occlusion is often
C II div I variety

www.indiandentalacademy.com

22.
BRACHYFACIAL
TYPE
They have short faces &
wide square mandibles of
these patients are most
often associated with C II
div II malocclusions.
These patients usually
they exhibit excessive
anterior overbites.


23.
THE ROLE OF TONGUE



The primary function of facial muscles is
expression
These muscles are also important in
maintenance of posture of facial structures.
According to proffit the lip & buccinator
muscles opposed by the tongue contribute to
the postural equilibrium of the teeth
www.indiandentalacademy.com

24.

The tongue posture
in the neonate is
more forward. Many
oral functions in the
neonate are guided
primarily by tactile
stimuli from lips &
tongue.

26.


The angulations of
permanent incisors is less
than deciduous teeth ie. The
deciduous are more upright.
The reason for this
decreased angulations of the
permanent incisor is
because the dental lamina of
the permanent incisor is
located lingual to the primary
teeth

A.J.O. 1992, FACIAL GROWTH IN FEMALES
BETWEEN 14 – 20 YEARS OF AGE
The objective of this study was to determine the magnitude
& the direction of post pubertal mandi. & max. facial
growth in females
 The overall mandi. growth was approx. twice that of the
overall max. growth.
 Mandi. growth rate was found to be between 14-16 yrs of
age.
 Between 14-20 yrs the Mandibular Plane Angle decreased
1.1 deg showing a closing rotation of the mandible & the
mandi. Incisors tipped labially with advancing age.

The males ^sed in all nose dimensions & in soft tissue

The female profile did not become straighter with age & lips
did not become more retrusive as with males
For males most changes in hard tissue measurements had
been accomplished by age 25 yrs, whereas soft tissue
changes occurred even after 25 yrs
For females both hard & soft tissue measurement had more
changes after age 25

ISRAEL ( 1973) reported data from women who
were 1st examined at ages ranging from 24 – 48 yrs


THIS STUDY SHOWED THAT ALL MEASUREMENTS
REACHED PEAK AT 32 YRS EXCEPT FOR Go – Gn AT
40 YRS.
The age at which maxi. length occurs in an individual is
regarded as the age at which growth has ceased.
There were small decreases in the cranial base & mandi.
lengths after the maxi. Values were attained (mean
decrease 0.62 – 1.33mm)
The decrease tended to be larger in men than in women.

^se in size of nose & ears
Nose- broader, longer &
had downward tip.
Lower third of face
showed ^sed dimension.
Lip prominence was
lessened

57.




In both sexes most of the changes was expressed
ant. ly. Thus the position of the nasion & tip of
nasal bone were located in an anterior position
with time.
The chin continues to get displaced ant .ly during
all ages.
The mean ^se in total facial height was 2.8mm
during adulthood
Because of the growth of the nose & the anterior
movement of chin, teeth appear less prominent &
lip area flattened www.indiandentalacademy.com

58.



Persons who had experienced the loss of many
teeth also grew in adulthood.
But these individuals grew less in adulthood. They
showed a vertical loss of dimension with time.
In a very old individual where the jaws are
completely edentulous, the alveolar bone resorbs &
vertical facial height is reduced. The lower face
becomes concave.

CONCLUSION

ON THE BASIS OF THE FINDINGS PRESENTED HERE,
IT MUST BE RECOGNISED THAT GROWTH &
DEVELOPMENT OF THE CRANIOFACIAL SKELETON IS
A CONTINUING LONGTERM PROCESS THAT
APPARENTLY HAS ITS PERIODS OF EXUBERANCE &
RELATIVE QUIESCENCE, BUT THE BIOLOGIC
MECHANISMS THAT REGULATE THE CHANGES
REMAIN INTACT & NEVER REALLY TERMINATE.
