Background Oral health is not merely the absence of oral disease and dysfunction, but also influences the subject's social life and dento-facial self confidence. Objective To assess and correlate self perceived psychosocial impact of dental aesthetics among young adults based on gender. Subjects A convenience sample of Young adults of degree college in the age group of 18-23 years of Hyderabad city, India. Method Self perceived psychosocial impact of dental aesthetics was assessed using the psychosocial impact of dental aesthetics questionnaire (PIDAQ). The dental aesthetic index (DAI) was used to evaluate dental aesthetics among participants which includes 10 parameters of dento-facial anomalies related to both clinical and aesthetic aspects of the anterior teeth. Results The majority of the study population were 18 years of age (96; 31.4%) with a mean age of 19.2 ± 1.1 years. When the mean total score and individual domain scores of PIDAQ was compared based on gender, females showed higher statistical mean (p ≤ 0.05) for all except the psychology impact domain (p = 0.12). Based on DAI grading and gender, among both males [70 (32.9%)] and females [31 (33.3%)] the majority of them had a DAI score of ≤25 (grade1; normal/minor dental malocclusion). A significant negative correlation was observed between DAI, with PIDAQ and its domains (p ≤ 0.05) except for the dental self confidence (p = 0.72). Conclusion This study had examined the relationship between self-perceived psychosocial impact and dental aesthetics. So, early preventive or interceptive procedures should be carried out to prevent further psychosocial impacts on human life.
口腔健康不仅仅是没有口腔疾病和功能障碍，还会影响个体的社交生活和牙颌面自信心。
基于性别评估并关联年轻成年人对牙齿美观的自我认知心理社会影响。
印度海得拉巴市年龄在18 - 23岁的大专院校年轻成年人便利样本。
使用牙齿美观心理社会影响问卷（PIDAQ）评估牙齿美观的自我认知心理社会影响。牙齿美观指数（DAI）用于评估参与者的牙齿美观，其中包括与前牙临床和美观方面相关的10个牙颌面异常参数。
研究人群大多数为18岁（96人；31.4%），平均年龄为19.2 ± 1.1岁。当基于性别比较PIDAQ的平均总分和各个领域得分时，除心理影响领域（p = 0.12）外，女性在所有方面的统计学平均得分更高（p ≤ 0.05）。基于DAI分级和性别，男性[70人（32.9%）]和女性[31人（33.3%）]中大多数人的DAI得分≤25（1级；正常/轻度牙颌面畸形）。除牙齿自信心（p = 0.72）外，DAI与PIDAQ及其领域之间观察到显著负相关（p ≤ 0.05）。
本研究探讨了自我认知心理社会影响与牙齿美观之间的关系。因此，应尽早开展预防性或阻断性措施，以防止对人类生活产生进一步的心理社会影响。
