Session

Dental Sciences

Description

An important aspect of human life is the psychosocial impact that dental aesthetics has. The psychosocial impact of dental aesthetics questionnaire (PIDAQ) is an instrument that assesses the psychosocial impact of dental aesthetics. It was developed and validated for use on prosthodontic patients. This literature review study aims to collect the results from various studies using PIDAQ in prosthodontics patients throughout the globe. We found a lot of differences in cross-cultural adaption in the way the test was compiled and the division of groups, but also very interesting results between groups separated by gender and level of education.

During the re-view of the literature, we found many researches that has excluded men from the survey, which showed some shortcomings. In the surveys done only by women, it has been found that the level of education gives different results.

In the other side, there are researches that show that the division into groups separated by the gender has achieved very interesting results. In order to obtain more reliable results, the research should be longitudinal and should involve more years of research.
