Synaesthetic restorations: a psychological perspective for surpassing aesthetic dentistry.
Full Abstract
Dentistry is often described as a fusion of art and science. While the scientific aspect is well documented, the artistic component is nebulous and often subject to interpretation. The use of the word "aesthetic" as a description of artistic dentistry is essentially flawed. While it forms part of artistic concepts, aesthetics is not the quintessential description of what constitutes art or its perception by the human brain. This article redresses this balance by emphasizing the artistic nature of dentistry and rationalizing the criteria that constitute artistic perception.
