Esthetics in Complete Denture

Esthetics is defined as “A branch of Philosophy dealing with the nature of and with judgments concerning beauty”. For dentistry the concept of esthetics was narrowed by Scmarer (1978) as esthetics include the morphological aspects only but Stein (1978) extended it by including cosmetics e.g. colour related aspects into the science of esthetics. “Esthetics” is defined as being a derivative of the Greek word ‘aisthetikos’ meaning ‘perceptive’1. It pertains to the sense of the beautiful or the science which deduces from nature and taste the rules and principles of art.
