dc.description.abstractPurpose: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between depression and social appearance anxiety in young female patients who applied for aesthetic dental treatment. Methodology: The study was conducted in a single centre and included 56 female patients aged 18-35 years. The mean age of the participants was 22.27 +/- 5.62 years. Participants were informed before treatment, and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Social Appearance Anxiety Scale (SAAS), and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were administered. Immediately after the treatment and 1 month later, the SAAS and VAS were administered again. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used for the comparison of the data obtained and the Friedman test was used for temporal comparison. Multiple comparisons were made with Dunn's test. Results: After aesthetic dental treatment, all participants' satisfaction with the appearance of their teeth increased, and social appearance anxiety decreased (p < 0.001). The group with the lowest pretreatment satisfaction level was the group with moderate/high-level depressive symptoms. There was no correlation between the severity of depression and the in-crease in satisfaction after treatment (r = 0.247; p = 0.066). Satisfaction levels were similar in all depression groups after treatment. The group with the highest level of social appearance anxiety before and after treatment was the group with moderate/high-severity depressive symptoms. A moderate positive correlation was found between depression severity and social appearance anxiety (r = 0.4; p = 0.002). Conclusions: The severity of depressive symptoms seen before treatment does not affect the level of satisfaction after treatment. There is a decrease in social appearance anxiety after aesthetic dental treatment. There is a positive relation-ship between social appearance anxiety and depression severity.
