Wabi-Sabi in Dentistry - Imperfect beauty

In traditional Japanese aesthetics, wabi-sabi (侘び寂び) is a world view centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of appreciating beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete" in nature. It is prevalent in many forms of Japanese art.
"Wabi-sabi nurtures all that is authentic by acknowledging three simple realities: nothing lasts, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect."
Kintsugi, a specific technique that uses gold lacquer to repair broken pottery, is considered a wabi-sabi expression.
Wabi-sabi has been evoked in a mental health context as a helpful concept for reducing perfectionist thinking.
