Facial features and personality types vary with different geographical boundaries, culture, and ethnicity. The impression created by teeth design differs with the face and personality of males and females.
This study evaluated the dominant facial and personality types and their correlation among males and females in Central Indian population.
The full-face photographs of 120 people, with a broad smile and visible dentition, were calibrated to generate a facial map with digital software. The participants filled a personality questionnaire. Facial form and personality type were classified as a combination of strong, dynamic, delicate, and calm. Descriptive and inferential statistics using Chi-square and Kappa tests.
The dominant facial form was calm (66.67%, 71.67%) with the second dominant facial form being dynamic (50%, 51.67%) both for males and females respectively. While the dominant personality type was dynamic (50%), the second dominant personality type was calm (35%, 30%) for both males and females. Kappa analysis showed moderate agreement between the dominant facial and personality types (P = 0.41 in males, P = 0.10 in females). The software used was SPSS 22.0 version and P < 0.05 is considered as the level of significance.
A varying number of combinations are essential in characterizing the face. The personality type has a predominance of one type over other. The interpretation of these combinations in dentistry can help to select appropriate tooth forms and design a harmonious smile.
面部特征和性格类型因不同的地理区域、文化和种族而有所不同。牙齿设计所营造的印象因男性和女性的面部及性格而异。
本研究评估了印度中部人群中男性和女性的主要面部和性格类型及其相关性。
对120名露出灿烂笑容且牙列可见的人的全脸照片进行校准，以使用数字软件生成面部图谱。参与者填写一份性格问卷。面部形态和性格类型被分类为强势、活力、精致和平静的组合。使用卡方检验和kappa检验进行描述性和推断性统计。
男性和女性的主要面部形态均为平静型（分别为66.67%、71.67%），其次是活力型（分别为50%、51.67%）。而男性和女性的主要性格类型均为活力型（50%），其次是平静型（分别为35%、30%）。Kappa分析显示主要面部和性格类型之间存在中度一致性（男性P = 0.41，女性P = 0.10）。使用的软件为SPSS 22.0版本，P < 0.05被视为显著性水平。
在对面部特征进行分类时，多种组合至关重要。性格类型中一种类型比其他类型更占主导。在牙科中对这些组合的解读有助于选择合适的牙齿形态并设计出和谐的笑容。
