Background: Several aesthetic indexes have been described to assess implant aesthetics. The aim of this study was
to compare the aesthetic assessment made by dental professionals and students of single-tooth implants placed in
the upper incisors.
Material and Methods: A cross-sectional survey study using a subjective questionnaire to assess the aesthetics in
3 implant supported single-tooth cases in the anterior maxilla was performed. The interviewed subjects were divided
into 4 groups: dentists with experience in implant treatment, dentists without experience in implants and 3rd
and 5th year dental students. The questionnaire consisted of 2 visual analogue scales (VAS) to evaluate aesthetics,
the pink esthetic score (PES), the white esthetic score (WES) and the simplified papilla index (PI).
Results: One-hundred dentists and one-hundred dental students filled the aesthetic assessment questionnaire. The
results showed that the subjects were more critical than reference values, specially concerning prosthetic issues.
The differences between groups were more obvious in the case with the best result. On the other hand, few differences
were detected in the remaining cases. Regarding soft tissue and crown features, experienced dentists in
implant dentistry were the most demanding. Cronbach’s Alpha showed values ≥ 0,8 in the questionnaire in every
case, which indicates an adequate reliability.
Conclusions: Dentists and dental students have different opinions when assessing aesthetics of single tooth implant
supported cases. Experience and area of expertise seem to influence the evaluation of aesthetics in the
anterior region.
