History Of Aesthetic Dentistry

21 February 2024

Aesthetic dentistry, as a field of dental science that all of us know more or less well today, appeared on the market of medical services at the end of the 20th century, while the history of dental treatment dates back several millennia. It is worth noting that the principles of aesthetics and the concept of beauty were different in different eras, but the desire of people to have the most attractive and beautiful smile has always existed. Blits Dental - Kakhaber Kharebava clinic team today would like to tell you a little about the history of aesthetic dentistry and how beauty standards have changed in the history of mankind and what changes aesthetic dentistry has undergone.

The norms of aesthetics changed in all eras and were very diverse. Today, nations living in different parts of the world perceive beauty differently. People have longed for aesthetic interventions in appearance since time immemorial. Cosmetic tooth contouring is one of the first dental procedures that has reached modern times through preserved skulls. For example, the Mayan people sharpened their teeth, the greatest beauty was the inclusion of precious stones for cosmetic purposes. On the island of Bali, women chewed the enamel of their front teeth and so on. In ancient times, there were special laws of beauty. For example, the ancient Egyptians created such a formula: the height of the middle finger of the hand fits 19 times the height of the human body (3 times the height of the neck and head). Ancient Greek sculptor Polycletus developed such a regularity: the height of the face fits 10 times the height of the body. Thanks to Polycletus, in dentistry there is a concept of physiognomic height of the face (the distance from the hairline to the chin). As for the later period, the renaissance era, this period left us not only a rich cultural heritage and spectacular art, but also medical and particularly dental discoveries. Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Titian made a great contribution to the development of anatomy: their works forced the world to look at the human body in a different way, thanks to them the aesthetic laws of the human body were formed. The law of equality of 3 parts (forehead, nose and mouth-chin) discovered by Michelangelo was very important for aesthetic dentistry, which is still considered one of the main standards of beauty and proportionality of facial features.

Dentistry as we know it from the 19th century, the 19th century is the beginning of orthodontic dentistry. For the first time, doctors began to study the anomalies and deformations of the teeth. Kneisel in 1836 wrote a book on dental anomalies. In the 60s of the 20th century, Ricketts discovered that the rule of the golden ratio can be used in aesthetic dentistry as well (for example, the width of the upper central incisor tooth is proportional to the width of the lower one in the ratio 1:1,618 – golden ratio formula).

When we talk about aesthetic dentistry in the 21st century, it is necessary to highlight all the modern achievements that have made it easier to get the desired smile.
