Measurement and Analysis of Maxillary Anterior Teeth Color In The Chinese Population

Abstract Objective To measure the difference in the crown color of the maxillary anterior teeth in the Chinese population, to study its potential regularity, and to provide a reference for the colorimetry of oral anterior teeth restoration. Method Use VITA Easyshade Advance4.0 spectrophotometer to measure the color of 1/3 of maxillary anterior crowns in different age groups, use CIE-1976-L*a*b* color system to describe the color, use Spss26.0 software Statistical analysis was performed to obtain the trend of the color change of maxillary anterior teeth. Conclusion: 1. The color of the labial crown of maxillary anterior teeth in the Chinese population is related to different age groups and tooth positions but not gender. 2. In the Chinese population, the color of the maxillary anterior teeth on the labial side gradually decreased from the central incisor to the distal end of the dental arch while the chroma gradually increased. 3. With age increase, the L* and a* values ​​of the upper central incisors, upper lateral incisors, and upper canines gradually decrease, and the b* value gradually increases. The teeth became darker, more yellow, and redder.
