Summary. The validity of the PES and WES criteria used in dental practice has been substantiated in a number of clinical and experimental researches, but it is still relevant to study objectivity and compliance parameters of such criteria for the need of comprehensive assessment of changes during different dental interventions in the area of tooth and prosthetic constructions supported by dental implants.
The aim of the study – to assess retrospectively the clinical relevance of the PES and WES criteria used for the evaluation of pink and white esthetics during different changes of dental status and to identify their associations with the subjective perception of esthetic treatment outcomes.
Materials and Methods. The search and selection of target scientific data was carried out in the Google Scholar system by the keywords and considering capabilities of the advanced search function. Systematization and categorization of numerical and textual data was performed in Microsoft Excel 2019 table editor (Microsoft Office, Microsoft, 2019) with the subsequent construction of a graphical-logical structure, which included the main identified aspects of the retrospective analysis.
Results and Discussion. As a result of the analysis it was possible to establish the following key aspects of the PES and WES parameters application in clinical dentistry: 1) there is a relevant need to develop a more detailed scale of interpretation and a unified approach for categorization of composing components for each of above-metioned criteria 2) according to some studies, the level of correlation between the parameters of PES/WES and the subjective patient satisfaction regarding achieved esthetic treatment results is insufficient; 3) PES/WES criteria do not take into account the component of implant survival as an element of comprehensive evaluation of the treatment success.
Conclusions. Criteria PES and WES used for assessing the parameters of pink and white esthetics are characterized with a high level of clinical compliance with the tageted objective of monitoring dental status esthetics changes during dental implantation, prosthetic rehabilitation and soft tissue augmentation, which allows their use in clinical monitoring.
