Resumo(s)
A estética do sorriso tem um papel relevante na qualidade de vida, influenciando diretamente a autoestima, o bem-estar emocional e as relações sociais e profissionais.
A perceção de um sorriso agradável é subjetiva, mas moldada por fatores sociais, culturais e demográficos, refletindo-se na forma como o indivíduo é visto e como se sente em sociedade.
Durante a infância e adolescência, o impacto da aparência do sorriso pode ser mais intenso, pois essa fase é marcada pelo desenvolvimento da identidade e pela busca por aceitação social. Nessa etapa, uma valorização excessiva da estética pode levar a distúrbios emocionais e comportamentais, com consequências como ansiedade, baixa autoestima e dificuldades ao nível da aceitação social.
Nos adultos, a estética do sorriso está frequentemente associada à autoconfiança, à competência e ao sucesso profissional. Já entre os idosos, alterações na aparência dentária podem comprometer a interação social e afetar negativamente a qualidade de vida. Em todas as idades, intervenções estéticas no âmbito da medicina dentária demonstram melhorar o bem-estar psicossocial e reduzir desconfortos emocionais relacionados à autoimagem.
Deste modo, esta dissertação tem como objetivo realizar uma revisão bibliográfica, sobre o impacto psicossocial da estética do sorriso na qualidade de vida dos pacientes em diferentes faixas etárias. Esta monografia busca a compreender como a aparência do sorriso influencia a autoestima, as interações sociais e o bem-estar psicológico. A pesquisa foi realizada em bases científicas como PubMed, Google Scholar, SciELO, entre outras, considerando publicações entre os anos 2000 e 2023, nos idiomas português, inglês e espanhol, com foco nas evidências mais recentes sobre o tema.
The aesthetics of the smile play a significant role in quality of life, directly influencing self-esteem, emotional well-being, and social and professional relationship. The perception of an attractive smile is subjective, yet shaped by social, cultural, and demographic factors, reflecting how individuals are seen by others and how they perceive themselves within society. During childhood and adolescence, the impact of smile appearance can be more pronounced, as these life stages are marked by identity development and the pursuit of social acceptance. At this point, an excessive emphasis on aesthetics may lead to emotional and behavioral disorders, with consequences such as anxiety, low selfesteem, and difficulties related to social acceptance. In adulthood, smile aesthetics are often associated with self-confidence, competence, and professional success. Among older adults, changes in dental appearance can hinder social interaction and negatively impact quality of life. Across all age groups, aesthetic dental interventions have been shown to improve psychosocial well-being and reduce emotional discomfort related to self-image. Therefore, this dissertation aims to conduct a literature review on the psychosocial impact of smile aesthetics on patients’ quality of life across different age groups. This study seeks to understand how smile appearance influences self-esteem, social interactions, and psychological well-being. The research was carried out using scientific databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and SciELO, among others, considering publications from 2000 to 2023, in Portuguese, English, and Spanish, with a focus on the most recent evidence on the subject.
