They were divided into the prosthodontics and orthodontics group (<i>n</i>=49) and the other specialties group (<i>n</i>=65). The baseline maxillary anterior teeth photograph from a 26-year-old female volunteer was set as the control. Eleven images with 4 types of esthetic defects (incisal edge position, gingival margin position, tooth long axis and crown width-to-length ratio) were generated, bringing the total number of study images to 12. After rotation at 0°, 90° and 180°, 36 study images were obtained in total. The images were presented to the subjects via slides, with each image shown for 8s. Two evaluation indicators were adopted:defect detection rate and detection accuracy rate. Subjects were required to determine whether there was a esthetic defect in the image and identify the specific type of defect. A correct detection was defined as accurate judgment of both the existence of the defect and the defect type. The values of the two indicators were calculated, and data were analyzed using the chi-square test with SPSS 27.0 software. <b>Results:</b> The detection rate of aesthetic defects among the 36 images ranged from 23.7% (27/114) to 100.0% (114/114), and the accuracy rate ranged from 5.3% (6/114) to 79.8% (91/114). The difference in detection accuracy among different visual angles was statistically significant: the 0° angle had the highest detection accuracy [52.2% (714/1 368)], followed by the 180° angle [45.1% (617/1 368)], and the 90° angle had the lowest accuracy [26.8% (366/1 368)]. For different tooth positions, the detection accuracy of esthetic defects in central incisors [54.2% (741/1 368)] was significantly higher than that in other positions [34.9% (956/2 736)]. The differences in defect detection accuracy under different visual angles were all statistically significant for incisal edge position, gingival margin position, tooth long axis and crown width-to-length ratio (all <i>P</i><0.017). There was no statistically significant difference in defect detection accuracy between the prosthodontics and orthodontics group and the other specialties group (<i>P</i>>0.05). <b>Conclusions:</b> Visual angle significantly affects the detection accuracy rate of dental esthetic defects, and the 0° angle is more conducive to the identification of aesthetic defects.

This paper integrates epidemiological findings and molecular mechanism evidence to analyze the significant comorbidity and correlation characteristics between infectious oral diseases such as caries and periodontitis, and psychological disorders including depression and anxiety. Oral diseases not only directly impair mental well-being through pain, functional impairment, and social anxiety, but also induce systemic inflammatory responses that disrupt the blood-brain barrier, activate microglia, and alter neurotransmitter metabolism, thereby contributing to functional dysregulation within emotional regulatory centers. The dysbiosis of the oral microbiota caused by infectious oral diseases plays a central role in the vicious cycle of \"oral infection-mental health disorders\" through the\"oral-gut-brain axis\", inflammation-mediated neuroimmune cascades, and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis dysregulation. Meanwhile, mental disorders exacerbate oral microbial imbalance and tissue destruction through poor oral hygiene behaviors, xerostomia induced by psychotropic medications, and stress-related neuroendocrine alterations. This paper advocates for synergistically integrate oral clinical interventions with mental health improvement strategies, and for the development of microbiome-targeted precision modulation approaches.

According to the method of soft tissue repair, the patients were divided into direct suture group (61 cases) and pedicled tissue flap group (97 cases, including 80 cases of buccal fat pad flap and 17 cases of submental island flap). The rate of secondary operation was compared between the two groups.
