The relationship of tooth shade and skin tone and its influence on smile attractiveness in native South Indians: A web-based cross sectional survey
The results underscore the necessity for dental practitioners to take into account both tooth shade and skin tone when planning aesthetic dental treatments. This approach will help in achieving a more harmonious and natural appearance, ultimately improving patient satisfaction with the treatment outcomes. Future research should continue to explore the cultural and individual factors that contribute to these preferences in dental aesthetics.
