Abstract

The study analyzes the relationship between dental esthetic rehabilitation and self-esteem in adult patients at the Inter-American Open University. The research focuses on how improving dental appearance through prosthetic-aesthetic interventions positively impacts patients' perception of themselves and their overall well-being. Using a qualitative approach, interviews were conducted and clinical documents were reviewed to capture the experiences of 11 patients. The results show that, following rehabilitation, patients experienced a significant increase in their self-esteem, satisfaction and emotional well-being. The study underscores the importance of addressing both functional and esthetic aspects in dentistry, highlighting how a healthy smile influences quality of life and social interaction, reinforcing the need for comprehensive care that includes psychological and emotional considerations
