ABSTRACT

This study investigated tooth whitening preferences among college students, evaluating their knowledge, satisfaction, aesthetic criteria, and preferences, while identifying influencing factors. Using a 28-item questionnaire covering general, tooth whitening knowledge, satisfaction, aesthetic criteria, and preference questions, 175 participants surveyed from June 7th to 10th, 2022, underwent analysis. Descriptive statistics, t-tests, analysis of variance, and regression analysis were applied. Results showed tooth whitening knowledge scored 2.90 out of 5 points, satisfaction 2.97, aesthetic criteria 3.59, and preferences 3.28. Tooth whitening knowledge was higher among female and health-related major students, while satisfaction was greater among males, non-health-related majors, and those without cosmetic procedures. Aesthetic criteria were stronger in participants with higher allowances and cosmetic procedures experience. No significant tooth whitening preference differences were found based on general characteristics. Regression analysis revealed significant impact of aesthetic criteria on tooth whitening preferences (β=0.252).
