Correlation between subjective and objective evaluation of peri‐implant soft tissue color

Abstract

Within the limitation of this study, a correlation between the subjective and the objective evaluation of the peri-implant soft tissue exists and the threshold for the distinction of mucosal color differences between perfect or good matching and distinguishable subjective values has been calculated in ∆E = 8.74 in the objective evaluation.

Novel digital imaging techniques to assess the outcome in oral rehabilitation with dental implants: a narrative review

“…In a recent clinical study, dental professionals were asked to assess the quality of the colour match between peri‐implant mucosa and natural gingiva sites on a scale ranging from perfect match to clinically unacceptable (Paniz et al. ). Subsequently, the ΔE values between these peri‐implant mucosa and natural gingiva sites were assessed using a spectrophotometer.…”

Abutment Material Effect on Peri‐implant Soft Tissue Color and Perceived Esthetics

“…A recent study compared objective and subjective evaluation of peri‐implant soft tissue color and found that the median color difference that corresponded to a good match was ΔE = 9.74. This value is much higher than the thresholds for acceptability reported in the literature.…”

Influence of abutment material on peri‐implant soft tissues in anterior areas with thin gingival biotype: a multicentric prospective study

“…; Paniz et al. ). For spectrophotometric analysis, a CIE‐LAB (Commisssion Internationale d'Eclairage) color scale is used, and the color through the black/white ( L * value), green/red ( a * value) and yellow/blue dimensions ( b * value) is identified.…”

“…Differently, the threshold for the distinction of differences of mucosal color by the human eyes between perfect or good matching and distinguishable values has been calculated in ∆ E = 8.74 by Paniz et al. ().…”
