Popis: Statement of problem Guidelines for planning esthetic outcomes are sparse. The present study evaluated the most noticeable characteristics of the celebrities with the most esthetic smiles. Purpose The purpose of this observational study was to assess the smiles of celebrities based on descriptive esthetic smile criteria and to compare male and female celebrity smiles based on dentally esthetic smiles. Material and methods An internet search for the “most beautiful celebrity smile ranking” was conducted in 2019, resulting in 50 celebrities that had been voted for having the most beautiful smiles. A second search was conducted to locate images of the identified individuals with the whole face and a broad smile. Results The most frequent characteristics of the studied variables were a normal smile line (70.7%), incisal edges parallel to the lower lip (56.1%), maxillary anterior incisal edges touching the lower lip (48.8%), a smile width of 10 teeth (53.7%), a facial midline coincident with the maxillary dental midline (51.2%), and average buccal corridors (78%). Statistically significant differences between men and women were only found in the smile arch (P Conclusions Celebrities voted as having the most beautiful smiles comply with most of the characteristics described as esthetically pleasing, except for midline deviations. The general population is influenced by factors other than the individual’s smile.
