The aim of this study was to evaluate relations between color distributions in the cervical, middle, and incisal segments of the teeth in the anterior region. Material and Method: Thirty-one individuals aged between 18-24 participated in the study. Color measurements were performed using VITA Easyshade V (VITA Zahnfabrik, Germany) from the cervical, middle and incisal regions of the left upper central, lateral, and canine teeth of participants. L*, a*, b* values were determined using a spectrophotometer. ΔE values were calculated to determine the color difference, and L*, a*, b * values were statistically analyzed. Results: Statistically significant results were obtained between L*, a*, b* values of different teeth segments using Spearman's correlation analysis. ΔE was calculated higher than 3.7 among all teeth segments. Conclusions: Using the L* and b* values of the middle segment color of the upper lateral tooth, it is possible to calculate the L* and b* values of the incisal, middle, and cervical colors of the upper incisors and canines.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
