Abstract

Advances in technology and material development in dentistry and increased use of social media in recent years have raised the esthetic and cosmetic expectations of patients. Today's dentist should, therefore, be able to blend the concepts of ethics and esthetics. Examination of esthetic analysis by dividing into sections, such as facial analysis, dentolabial analysis, dental analysis, and phonetic analysis; and knowing these criteria well will provide a great advantage to the clinician in terms of planning and meeting the patient expectations.
