Perceptions of denture aesthetics: a two-centre study of denture wearers and denture providers.
A study into perceptions of complete dentures was carried out in two dental schools, one in Australia and the other in England. Two-hundred participants were asked to assess photographs of five sets of dentures for age, gender and personality. Results were subjected to a multi-rater kappa statistic. Although no centre was determined to be better than the other, it was highly significant that Australian teachers were confident enough to state that they were unable to determine age or gender from the information supplied.
