Abstract

BACKGROUND

Facial and dental aesthetics are becoming of great concern for patients, especially for the younger generation. Tooth color matching and selection is considered a vital element in order to create an attractive beautiful smile. The importance of tooth color matching is to adjust tooth colors to obtain a good match with adjacent teeth and the skin. This is considered a challenge especially if adjacent teeth were lost or records of patients' teeth color were not available.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between skin complexion and tooth value in a Jordanian population.

METHODS

A cross-sectional study of 520 individuals who were randomly selected and belonging to different age groups, ranging from 15-65 years, with equal sex distribution. These patients visited the dental clinics at different Jordanian military hospitals. The study was carried out over a period of one year from 2015 to 2016. The randomly selected sample was examined by one researcher. Shade of the middle third of the labial surface of central incisor was determined visually using VITA tooth guide, 3D-MASTER shade guide. Tooth shades were divided into two categories according to their value. The skin complexion was identified using Fitzpatrick skin type test, and was categorized into two categories (fair and dark). Data were statistically analyzed using Epi Info version 6.

RESULTS

A statistically significant tooth shade value difference was discovered among subjects of different skin color (p<0.0001). Individuals with dark skin tend to have lighter teeth, while individuals with light skin tend to have darker teeth. Out of the 304 participants that were with dark complexion 274 (90%) have light teeth, and only 30 (10%) were with dark teeth. Out of the 216 participants with light complexion 172 (80%) have dark teeth and only 44 (20%) have light teeth.

CONCLUSION

Within the limitation of this study, there was an inverse relation between skin complexion and tooth value among a Jordanian population. Thus, considering the skin complexion when choosing tooth shades is helpful in achieving a pleasing good-looking smile, yet further investigations in this field must be carried out.

摘要

背景

面部和牙齿美观越来越受到患者的关注，尤其是年轻一代。牙齿颜色匹配和选择被认为是打造迷人微笑的关键要素。牙齿颜色匹配的重要性在于调整牙齿颜色，使其与相邻牙齿和肤色良好匹配。如果相邻牙齿缺失或没有患者牙齿颜色记录，这将是一项挑战。

目的

本研究旨在确定约旦人群中肤色与牙齿明度之间的关系。

方法

一项横断面研究，随机选取520名年龄在15至65岁之间、性别分布均衡的不同年龄组个体。这些患者前往约旦不同的军事医院牙科诊所就诊。该研究于2015年至2016年进行了一年。随机选取的样本由一名研究人员进行检查。使用VITA牙齿比色板、3D-MASTER比色板目视确定中切牙唇面中三分之一的颜色。牙齿颜色根据明度分为两类。使用菲茨帕特里克皮肤类型测试确定肤色，并分为两类（白皙和深色）。数据使用Epi Info 6版本进行统计分析。

结果

不同肤色受试者之间发现有统计学意义的牙齿颜色明度差异（p<0.0001）。肤色深的个体牙齿往往较浅，而肤色浅的个体牙齿往往较深。在304名肤色深的参与者中，274名（90%）牙齿较浅，只有30名（10%）牙齿较深。在216名肤色浅的参与者中，172名（80%）牙齿较深，只有44名（20%）牙齿较浅。
