“…This came in disagreement with previous studies that reported that while most of the participants preferred the whitest teeth in fair skin shades, in dark skin shades the less white tooth shades were the most preferred. 17,18,20 This difference could be related to the range of tooth shades used in the previous studies; in this study tooth shades from the VITA 3D Master shade guide which represent shades commonly seen in natural teeth were used, but previous studies used a bleached tooth shade guide or artificially whitened tooth shades in addition to the natural tooth shades. 17,18,20 Online survey offers several advantages for researchers as it is a very effective tool for fast data collection and enables researchers to approach participants from across the world.…”

“…A more clinically applicable study evaluated a specific population preference of tooth shade using a commercially available A-D Shade guide to construct computer-modified images. 20 It showed that most of the study participants (83.7%) preferred lighter tooth shade for lighter skin shades, and darker tooth shade for darker skin. 20 However, the findings of this study cannot be generalized to other populations, since cultural and ethnical background could influence individuals' perception of smile attractiveness.…”

Purpose To identify laypersons’ most preferred tooth shade as a function of observer and patient factors, namely patients’ skin shade and observers’ socio‐demographics. Materials and Methods Two online surveys using computer‐designed perioral images with different shades of the skin and teeth were distributed to participants in Montreal (Canada) and San Francisco (USA). The first survey (n = 120) was designed to assess public preferences of tooth shade value, hue and chroma as a function of the skin color of the perioral image (model), and the demographic characteristics of the observer. The first survey included 6 sets of 9 identical perioral images. A different skin shade (from very dark to very light) was used for each set of images, and each set of images presented teeth with different tooth shades which included three different levels of value (2M1, 3M1, 4M1), hue (3L1.5, 3M1, 3R1.5), and chroma (3M1, 3M2, 3M3) of the Vita 3D Master shade guide. Participants were asked to choose their preferred image for each category (value, hue, chroma) within each set of skin shades. A second survey was performed to pinpoint the tooth shade that is preferred the most by the general public. In this survey, images with four tooth shades (1M1, 2M1, 3M1, 4M1) and 6 skin shades were distributed (n = 70). Ordinal logistic regression was used to identify significant predictors of preferred tooth shades. Results Most of the participants preferred teeth with the highest value (54%), a neutral hue (59%) and the lowest chroma (89%). About 75% of the participants preferred 1M1 the lightest tooth shade over other shades regardless of their demographics or skin color of the model. Among the observer‐related variable, age was the most significant predictor of people preferred tooth shade (p = 0.019). Conclusion This study showed that there are common preferences in terms of tooth shade value, hue and chroma among participants regardless of demographic variables and facial skin shades. This data could guide dentists for tooth shade selection in the clinical practice.

“…Esta diferencia en la percepción de las discrepancias de las sonrisas debe tenerse en cuenta durante las fases finales del tratamiento de ortodoncia y la restauración de los dientes anteriores en pacientes marroquíes. Labban et al (2017) (16) evaluaron la influencia del género y el color de la piel en la preferencia de los diferentes tonos de dientes en la población general. Se manipularon dos fotografías estandarizadas de sonrisa frontal de sujetos masculinos y femeninos utilizando photoshop para representar 4 colores de piel [(tipo II, III, IV y V) (escala de Fitzpatrick)].…”

“…Así mismo, la cultura y los medios de comunicación influyen en cómo se juzga una sonrisa (18) ; variando la percepción de algunos de estos parámetros en cada realidad local. Cabe tener en cuenta, que el instrumento que se utiliza para medir la percepción es la escala visual análoga (EVA); la cual, es bastante subjetiva; sin embargo, es la más utilizada (8,11,14,16) .…”
