Abstract
Dentofacial aesthetics disorders such as malocclusions have a negative impact on psychosocial conditions that will interfere with psychological well-being especially in adolescence. Some aspects of facial appearance and dental aesthetics are important for their self-esteem. Soh, et al stated that malocclusion, especially in anterior teeth, leads to negative self-concept. This study aims to investigate the correlation between anterior teeth appearance on teenagers' psychosocial. This is a cross-sectional study located in SMA 10 Padang. In this study 89 students aged 14-18 years were selected. The anterior teeth appearance was assessed using a standard Aesthetic Component photograph of the Aesthetic Component of Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need grade 1 (IOTN). Psychosocial conditions will be observed by the self-rated Psychosocial Impact of Dental Aesthetics Questionnaire (PIDAQ) questionnaires. Data were analyzed using the Spearman and Mann Whitney test. There is a 31.5% sample with the best aesthetic score and 66% sample did not need orthodontic treatment. The effect of anterior tooth appearance on psychosocial (p <0.001), on self-esteem (p <0.001), on social impact (p <0.05), on psychological impact (p <0.005), and on esthetic impact (p< 0.05).There is a significant relationship between the anterior teeth appearance based on Aesthetic Component from IOTN and the teenager's psychosocial.
