Sažetak
Introduction: To determine differences in the perception of the maxillary and mandibulary midline deviation regarding the degree of dental education. Materials and methods: The study comprised 680 respondents, divided into five groups: dental specialists (65), dentists (129), students from 4th to 6th year (92), students from 1st to 3rd year (89), and laypeople (305). Respondents were recruited through social networks and completed the questionnaire via a Google form. They rated photos of a woman’s smile from 1 (least attractive) to 10 (most attractive): the original photo, in which the middle of the dental arches matched the middle of the face, and photos modified in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 6 (version 6.0, San Jose, California, USA) program. Two modifications of the maxillary midline (2 mm and 4 mm deviation) and two modifications of the mandibulary midline (2 mm and deviation) were made. The Kruskall- Wallis test was used in addition to the post-hoc Dunn test and the Wilcoxon pairwise test. Results: There is a significant difference in the perception of maxillary midline deviation of 4 mm between the groups. Laypeople’s responses differed significantly from specialists (p<0.001), dentists (p<0.001), and students students from 4th to 6th year (p=0.006). There was also a significant difference in the perception of mandibular midline deviation of 3 mm, which laypeople rated worse than specialists (p=0.002) and dentists (p=0.02), and younger students than specialists (p=0.04). Conclusion: The perception of laypeople and respondents with dental education differs significantly, and these differences may aid dental professionals in conducting specific therapeutic procedures.
