SALDANHA, José Henrique et al. Facial attractiveness perceived by lay people and dentists: a systematic review. RFO UPF [online]. 2016, vol.21, n.1, pp. 55-60. ISSN 1413-4012.

Objective: To systematically assess by evidence-based literature whether lay people are more flexible in evaluating facial aesthetics when compared to dentists. Materials and method: LILACS, PubMed, SciELO, and OpenGrey electronic databases were used for the research. OpenGrey database was particularly used to capture the "grey literature". Articles from the last 10 years with full texts available online in English, Spanish, and Portuguese were selected. The articles indexed in more than one database were computed only once. Literature review articles, case reports, and editorial / letters to the editor were excluded. The entire research was performed by two eligibility reviewers. Results: 118 records were identified, and three studies were eligible for the research. All works selected involved orthodontists and lay people as evaluators. The Visual Analogue Scale and a Profile Assessment Score were used for measurement and analyzed by photographs. Two articles analyzed anteroposterior changes and one article analyzed changes in facial asymmetry (frontal). Conclusion: Given the studies evaluated, it is imposed there is no clear evidence that lay people are more flexible in assessing facial aesthetics.
