Color differences between maxillar and mandibular incisors

Abstract

Context: Color difference between maxillar and mandibular incisors is an anticipated subject, and it will help dentists during color matching. Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate color differences of the maxillar and mandibular incisors and to find out relationships between gender and age. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted on 125 participants (51 males and 74 females) between 16-63 age groups and totally over maxillar and mandibular 480 healthy teeth by using spectrophotometer. Color differences between teeth were calculated by using ∆E formula. One way ANOVA statistical analysis determined statistically significant differences between maxiller-central and mandibular-canine teeth for ∆L and ∆b parameters ( P <0.05). Results: According to t-test result there were not a statistically significant color differences for women and men teeth ( P <0.05). Scheffe statistical analysis results showed statistically significant differences between mandibular central and mandibular canine for ∆L parameters on 16-27, 28-39, and 52-63 age groups; for ∆b parameters, there were statistically significant differences between 16-27 and 40-51 age groups ( P <0.05). Conclusion: Women have more lighter teeth than men. Maxillar canines are more yellow and Maxillar centrals are more lighter than other incisors. 16-27, 28-39 age groups have more lighter teeth than 52-63 age groups and 16-27 age groups have more yellow teeth than 40-51 age groups.

A comparison of anterior teeth color among Polish, Saudi and Taiwanese students of dentistry

“…The results of this study show a higher value of color for central incisors compared to lateral incisors and canines. Canines were darker than lateral incisors which in turn, were darker than central incisors, which is in agreement with other studies [24].…”

Spectrophotometric Evaluation of Anterior Maxillary Tooth Color Distribution According to Age and Gender

“…Many studies have been conducted on the measurement and distribution of tooth color, and researchers have used both conventional and digital methods in their tooth color determinations . Digital devices can provide a standard measurement of the tooth and are more reliable . Previous studies comparing conventional and digital tooth color measurement methods have reported that digital devices provided better results .…”

“…Ensuring the natural tooth form and color is important for the esthetic success of a restoration . The anterior region is one of the most striking areas for a dental restoration; therefore, tooth color determination is very important for esthetic dentistry.…”

“…Ensuring the natural tooth form and color is important for the esthetic success of a restoration. 1,2 The anterior region is one of the most striking areas for a dental restoration; therefore, tooth color determination is very important for esthetic dentistry. It is especially important that the color be selected using the correct method, and it should be transferred to the technician correctly.…”
