Key Points

This study aims to evaluate how different groups perceive pediatric smile aesthetics, focusing on the comparison between human observers and AI systems.
Nine standardized frontal smile photographs were used, showcasing various aesthetic modifications.
354 human participants, including children, parents, and dentists, rated the photographs on aesthetic preference and a scoring scale.
Four AI systems independently assessed the same images, with statistical analysis conducted using Chi-square tests and a generalized linear model.
Significant differences were observed between evaluator types regarding aesthetic preferences for most questions.
AI systems provided evaluations that varied from human observer groups, indicating differences in aesthetic perception.
Chi-square tests revealed statistically significant preference variations (p < 0.05).
