Objective: To analyze and compare the effectiveness of two methods designed for the
assessment of esthetic impairment in patients with missing teeth. Material
and Methods: Two methods were addressed in this study: 7-level scale (7LS)
and AIPE-Odonto/Brasil. Both tools are designed to assess esthetic dental
impairment in civil and criminal Courts. One-hundred and thirteen dentists used
the tools to assess dental esthetic impairment in four mock cases (one male and
three females). The outcomes of their analyses were compared with
pre-established gold-standard scores. Chi-square test was used to investigate
the influence of dentists’ sex, age, time of experience and forensic knowledge
with their outcomes. Results: Dentists’ outcomes were closer to the
expected gold-standard scores when AIPE-Odonto/Brasil was used compared to 7LS
(p < 0.05). Dentists’ sex, time of experience and forensic knowledge were
significantly associated with the scores obtained with both tools (p <
0.05). Conclusions: Comparatively, AIPE-Odonto/Brasil was more effective
for the assessment of esthetic dental impairment involving missing teeth
compared to the 7LS.
