The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of educational status on the perception of smile esthetics considering social and spontaneous smile patterns.
The present study was conducted on 110 subjects with differing educational status. Of 110 subjects with a mean age of 39.4 years, 30 were primary school graduates, 30 were high school graduates, and 50 had a university or higher educational level. Four different black and white natural social and spontaneous smiling images, captured from a video recording of a 25-year-old female, were prepared displaying the full-face and oral area. A 10-cm visual analog scale (VAS) was used to evaluate the smile esthetics.
There were significant differences in the social and spontaneous smiles in a subjective assessment of the smile esthetics in full-face and oral views between participants having a different educational status (p>0.05). Compared with the other groups, the participants in the primary school graduate group gave higher esthetic scores in all the image groups. In terms of esthetic perception, this group was followed by high school graduates and participants with a university or higher level of education. In the four image groups, there was a significant difference between the primary school graduates and participants with a university or higher level of education (p<0.05).
Educational status is a sociodemographic factor that can affect the perception of smile esthetics. The esthetic scores both in social and spontaneous smile decrease with increasing education level, and the most remarkable difference exists between primary school graduates and those with university or higher level of education.
本研究旨在评估教育程度对微笑美学认知的影响，同时考虑社交性微笑模式和自发性微笑模式。
本研究对110名教育程度不同的受试者进行。110名受试者的平均年龄为39.4岁，其中30名是小学毕业生，30名是高中毕业生，50名具有大学或更高教育水平。从一名25岁女性的视频记录中截取了四张不同的黑白自然社交性微笑和自发性微笑图像，展示了面部全貌和口腔区域。使用10厘米视觉模拟量表（VAS）评估微笑美学。
不同教育程度的参与者在对面部全貌和口腔视图中微笑美学的主观评估中，社交性微笑和自发性微笑存在显著差异（p>0.05）。与其他组相比，小学毕业生组的参与者在所有图像组中给出的美学分数更高。在美学认知方面，该组之后是高中毕业生以及具有大学或更高教育水平的参与者。在四个图像组中，小学毕业生与具有大学或更高教育水平的参与者之间存在显著差异（p<0.05）。
教育程度是一个社会人口统计学因素，可影响对微笑美学的认知。社交性微笑和自发性微笑的美学分数均随着教育水平的提高而降低，小学毕业生与具有大学或更高教育水平的人之间存在最显著的差异。
