Statement of problem: The meaning of the beauty has a little different nature according to a time, culture, and nation. Purpose : This study was undertaken to estimate the geometric esthetic criteria for Korean woman by analysis of facial photograph in a smiling. Material and methods: The facial photographs of 678 Korean beautiful woman were collected from Miss Korea candidates(from 1971 to 2003 year). The dento-facial composition was measured and analyzed geometrically on computer monitor using $Adobe^{(R)}$ $Photoshop^{(R)}$ 7.0. The statistical significance of the differences among the 4 decade groups was estimated by a $x^2$ test. Result : The Korean beautiful woman skewed the geometric characteristics such as the 'coincidence' (83.0%) between facial midline and dental midline, the 'normal' (96.9%) alignment and arrangement of upper anterior teeth. the 'average' (79.1%) position and 'upward' (53.4%) curvature of upper lip, the 'parallel' (85.7%) relationship between the lower lip and upper anterior incisal curvature, the 'touching' (49.9%) and 'not-touching' (44.8%) relationship between upper anterior incisor and towel lip, the 'first premolar' (54.1%) and 'second premolar' (38.9%) displayed in a smile, and the 'symmetry' (89.4%) of smile. There was statistical significance among the 4 decades in the respect of the upper lip curvature, the relationship between upper anterior incisor and lower lip, and the most posterior teeth displayed in a smile (p<0.05). Conclusion : The Korean beautiful woman showed similar results to the western esthetic criteria in the some respects and the tendency that the Korean woman had more active smiling recently.

This study was designed to help to be given esthetics in construction of denture and prosthodontic rehabilitation of anterior tooth region. The author took the facial straight photograph of 100 old aged people(male 50, female 50) above 55 years of age, who have natural teeth in anterior tooth region, in a resting and a smiling position. And the author measured and analyzed the lip shape, the relation between the lip and the teeth and the change of lip length and height when they were smiling. The results of this study were as follows : 1. In the shape of the upper lip, when the upper lip curved downward, it was 53%, straight was 28% and curved upward was 9%. 2. In the relation between the upper lip and the teeth, average smile was 53% , high smile was 26% and low smile was 21%. 3. In the parallel relation between the lower lip and maxillary anterior incisal curvature, the group of straight was 54%, the group of parallel was 40% and the group of reverse was 6%. 4. In the relationship between maxillary anterior incisor and lower lip, the group of not-touching was 92%, the group of touching was 5% and the group of the maxillary anterior incisor were slightly covered by the lower lip was 3%. 5. In the teeth displayed in a smile, displayed to second premolar was 50%, displayed to first molar was 34%, displayed to first premolar was 12%, and displayed to canine and second molar were 2%. 6. At smiling, the width of the mouth was 0.94 times of the interpupillary distance and 0.45 times of the full face width. 7. At smiling, the length of the upper lip was 0.73 times and lower lip was 0.98 times of the length in a resting postion and the width of the mouth corner was 1.19 times of the resting position.

This study was designed to investigate the criteria of the perfect smile that was necessary to improve the esthetic problem in oral and maxillo-facial region and treating the anterior tooth region. The author took the facial straight photograph of 240 university students(male : 129, female : 111) in a resting and a smiling position, measured and analized the lip pattern and the relation between the lip and the teeth when they were smiling. Besides, 10 members of committee for appraisal (dentist : 5 persons, professor of the college of fine arts : 5 persons) estimated the smiling pattern. After that the author have compared and analyzed the obtained results. The results obtained were as follows : 1. In the shape of the upper lip, when the upper lip curved downward, it was 42.92% , straight was 45.00% and curved upward was 12.08%. The group in which the upper lip curved upward was the most esthetic. 2. In the relation between the upper lip and the teeth, high smile was 29.17%, average smile was 55.83% and low smile was 15.00%. The group of average smile was the most esthetic. 3. In the parallel relation between the lower lip and maxillary anterior incisal curvature, the group of paralled was 60.42%, the group of straight was 34.17% and the group of reverse was 5.41%. The group of parallel was the most esthetic. 4. In the relationship between maxillary anterior incisor and lower lip, the group of the maxillary anterior incisor were slightly covered by the lower lip was 10.42%, the group of the maxillary anterior teeth touched to the lower lip was 35.83%, and the no-touching was 53.75%. The group of the maxillary anterior teeth touched to the lower lip was the most esthetic. 5. In the teeth displayed in a smile, displayed to the canine was 0.84%, displayed to the first premolar was 19.17%, displayed to the second premolar was 57.92%, displayed to the first molar was 20.00% and displayed to the second molar was 2.08%. The group of displayed to the first molar was the most esthetic. 6. At smiles, the width of the mouth corner was 0.46 times of the full face width, 0.95 times of the interpupillary distance, and 1.23 times of the resting position. 7. At smiles, the lengh of the upper lip was 0.71 times and lower lip was 0.93 times of the length in the resting position.

연구 목적: 일반적으로 치아는 미소 지을 때 가장 많이 노출되며, 미소 시에 나타나는 치아와 연조직과의 관계 등은 심미적인 보철 수복에 있어서 중요한 지침이 된다. 본 연구는 20년 전 한국 청년들의 미소와 현재 한국 청년들의 미소를 비교하여 그 차이를 알아보고자 하였다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 신체적인 발육 상태가 정상적이고 전신적 또는 유전적 질환이 없으며, 안모가 양호하고 치아의 결손이 없으며 교정 및 보철치료를 받은 경험이 없고, 교합상태가 비교적 정상적인 20-29세 사이의 청년 100명(남자 50명, 여자 50명)을 대상으로, Cephalometer에 사용되는 두부 고정 장치를 사용하여 피검자의 F-H plane이 지면에 평행하도록 한 후, 35 mm 카메라(400D. Cannon, Japan), 120 mm 렌즈 그리고 삼각대를 사용하여 피검자의 midsagittal plane에 카메라 렌즈의 중심을 맞추고 상악 중절치 절단과 렌즈와의 거리를 930 mm로 하여 안정위 및 full smile 시의 안모 정면 사진을 3회씩 촬영하였다. 1991년 윤 등이 촬영한 대학생 240명 중 무작위로 선택한 100명(남자 50명, 여자 50명)의 미소사진과 함께 개인용 컴퓨터 및 V-ceph 6.0 프로그램을 이용하고 Hulsey의 미소 계측 방법을 참고로 하여, 상순의 형태, 상순과 치아와의 관계, 하순과 상악 전치 절단연과의 평행 관계, 하순과 상악 전치 절단연과의 접촉 관계, 미소시 나타나는 치아 등을 계측하고 분석하였다. 한편 치과의사 10인이 남,녀 각 2회씩 미소에 대한 미적평가를 시행하여 미소평점을 기록하고 비교하였다. 결과: 지난 20년간 한국 청년의 미소가 크게 향상되었으며 이러한 변화는 주로 상순의 형태가 영향을 준 것을 알 수 있었다. 즉 입꼬리가 위로 올라가는 형태의 미소가 괄목할 만한 증가를 보인 반면 입 꼬리가 아래로 처지는 형태의 미소는 현저한 감소를 보였다. 결론: 지난 20년간 한국 청년의 미소가 크게 향상되었는데 이러한 변화는 주로 상순의 형태가 영향을 준 것으로 나타났다.
