This study aimed to determine whether imperfections in the anterior dentition affect the emotional and/or social well being of school going children in Amritsar district of Punjab, India.
A total of 2582 children between the ages 10 and 15 years of both genders were examined. Of these, 528 children with esthetic imperfections were asked a series of questions to assess their emotional and social disposition, with respect to children with no esthetic defects.
Females were more shy if they did not have a perfect anterior dentition ( = 0.000). Low socioeconomic status corresponded with gender (females) in determining emotional insecurity. Malocclusion was the most common cause of aesthetic defects (291/528 children), followed by causes such as, hypoplasisa/hypocalcification, stains, peg shaped, microdontia, congenitally missing (46.4%), trauma (30.5%) and caries (1.2%). Irrespective of cause of defect, 53.8% of children were emotionally affected, in that, were fearful of being teased by other children (77.1%).

本研究旨在确定前牙列缺陷是否会影响印度旁遮普邦阿姆利则地区学龄儿童的情绪和/或社会幸福感。
共检查了2582名年龄在10至15岁之间的男女儿童。其中，528名有美学缺陷的儿童被问及一系列问题，以评估他们相对于没有美学缺陷儿童的情绪和社会倾向。
如果女性没有完美的前牙列，她们会更害羞（P = 0.000）。在确定情绪不安全感方面，低社会经济地位与性别（女性）相关。错牙合是美学缺陷最常见的原因（291/528名儿童），其次是诸如发育不全/钙化不全、污渍、钉状牙、过小牙、先天性缺失（46.4%）、创伤（30.5%）和龋齿（1.2%）等原因。无论缺陷原因如何，53.8%的儿童在情绪上受到影响，即害怕被其他孩子取笑（77.1%）。
