The dental surgeon is a health professional responsible for the diagnosis and treatment of deformities affecting the stomatognathic system, therefore this professional must be able to recognize deviations from normality related to this area, even if such conditions are not specific to his specialty. This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the evaluation of postgraduate students of orthodontics (PO), postgraduate students of endodontics (PE), and laypersons (PL) on the level of facial attractiveness, with regard to the lower facial third and indications for treatment of deformities. We used a profile view photograph of the lower facial third of one male and one female White Brazilian, both with Angle Class I occlusion and Capelozza Pattern I face. Twenty-two images of the lower facial third were then digitally changed by 2.5 mm increments, in a total of 5.0 mm per image. We changed the upper and lower lips. Movements were anteroposterior only. The images were evaluated through a questionnaire by 90 participants. PO and PE groups evaluated the Class III profile as the least pleasant for both male and female images. PL group rated the male Class III profile and the female protusive jaws as the least aesthetically pleasant ones. PO, PE and PL goups rated the female Class I profile as the most pleasant. PO group rated the male Class I profile as the most pleasant and PE and PL groups rated the male Class II profile as the most aesthetically pleasant. PO, PE and PL groups were equally consistent regarding the level of attractiveness and the indication for treatment of deformities. PL group presented higher number of profiles with significant differences (P<0.05) in the level of facial attractiveness as discrepancy increases.
