This study aims to prepare the basic data of the teeth color by measuring analyze mode using the color of the maxillary anterior teeth (maxillary central incisor, lateral incisor, canine) of the college students in their twenties as the dental colorimeter. The maxillary anterior teeth of the subjects of study as 467 students (male 89, female 378) were measured from 14 November to 2 December, 2011, so the color of total 1,401 teeth was examined, and oral health and eating habit attributes were researched. The survey results were as follows. 1. The color of maxillary anterior teeth was changed from maxillary central incisor to maxillary canine, brightness ($L^*$) was decreased $76.79{\pm}4.86$ to $69.72{\pm}4.62$, red chroma ($a^*$) was increased $2.02{\pm}2.00$ to $4.10{\pm}2.60$, yellow chroma ($b^*$) was increased $15.51{\pm}3.42$ to $20.10{\pm}3.46$. 2. Brightness ($L^*$) was different according to sex (p< 0.001), major (p<0.001), grade (p<0.001), smoking (p<0.001), oral health education (p<0.01), daily brushing frequency (p<0.001), brushing method (p<0.05), oral hygiene devices (p<0.001), and red chroma ($a^*$) to major (p<0.001), daily brushing frequency (p<0.05), brushing time after meals (p<0.01), oral hygiene devices (p<0.01), and yellow chroma ($b^*$) to brushing time after meals (p<0.01), subjective tooth color (p<0.001). 3. Brightness ($L^*$) of eating habit attributes was different according to coke, candy ($R^2=0.053$, p<0.05). In conclusion, this study demonstrates that the color of maxillary anterior teeth has differences in brightness ($L^*$), red chroma ($a^*$), yellow chroma ($b^*$) from each tooth, also these showed various tendency according to the oral health and eating habit attributes.

Transposition is a unique and extreme form of ectopic eruption where a tooth develops and erupts in a position, normally occupied by an adjacent tooth. Generally, three treatment options are available when the maxillary canine and first premolar are transposed. In the first treatment option, the transposed position of the teeth can be maintained such that the first premolar is moved to the position of the canine. Second, extraction of the maxillary first premolar can be considered. Third, the position of the transposed teeth can be corrected such that their normal positions in the arch are restored. Factors that should be considered in treatment modality decision include function, occlusion, periodontal support, treatment time, patient cooperation, and esthetic demands. This report describes cases of maxillary canine-premolar transposition treated with each of the three aforementioned treatment options. In the first case, transposed teeth were arranged in their transposed position. The second case was an extraction case. In the third case, orthodontic treatment and surgical repositioning were conducted.

The canine tooth is important both functionally and aesthetically, being positioned between the anterior and posterior teeth. The upper canine has the longest eruption path, forming in the deepest part of the maxillary bone and often experiencing eruption disorders, leading to significant aesthetic and functional issues. Early detection and management of canine impaction are crucial in pediatric dentistry, which focuses on tooth growth and eruption. The prevalence of maxillary canine impaction ranges from 1.1% to 3.0%. In Western populations, palatal impaction is twice as common as labial impaction, while some Korean studies report more labial impaction. Maxillary canine impaction occurs more frequently in women and is associated with various factors such as structural obstacles, pathological conditions in surrounding tissues, developmental abnormalities, and genetic factors. Labial displaced canines are linked to narrow maxillary intercanine width, total dental crowding, and skeletal Class III malocclusion. Maxillary palatal displaced canine impaction is more prevalent in patients with familial agenesis of lateral incisors or conical supernumerary lateral incisors. Understanding these factors aids in early diagnosis and appropriate intervention for canine tooth impaction, ensuring optimal oral health and aesthetics.

심미 영역에서 발치후 즉시 식립시 가장 기본이 되는 성공의 핵심 요소는, 발치후 발치와 리모델링에 대한 생물학적 이해와 3차원적으로 정확한 임플란트의 식립 위치다. 그에 더해서, 상악 측절치 부위는 중절치나 견치 부위와 다른 해부학적 특성을 갖고 있고 이는 발치후 즉시 식립을 할 때 치료법을 결정하고 좋은 결과를 얻는데 있어 매우 중요한 고려 요소가 된다. 순측 치조골의 함몰 정도, 인접 상악 전치 치근의 수렴 정도, 크라운-치근이 이루는 각도와 치조골 프로파일 이 세가지를 치료 전에 잘 평가하고 치료 전략을 세운다면 심미적으로 우수한 좋은 결과를 얻는데 도움이 될 것이다.

This study is to set the objective criteria on maxillary incisors shade selection by using the colorimetric Shade-Eye NCC as measuring in CIE $L^*$, $a^*$, $b^*$ values, and look into the meaning by analyzing its values. We explain the purpose of this study and gotten their agreement from patients visiting the dentist, 111 people's (men 50, women 61) three teeth, the maxillary central incisor, maxillary lateral incisor, maxillary canines, total of 333 teeth colorimetry. As a result of comparing the differences in colors between cervical margin and incisal edge, ${\Delta}E^*$ of canine is shown as low as $5.81({\pm}2.98)$, followed by lateral incisor of maxilla as $6.51({\pm}3.23)$ and central incisor of maxilla $7.51({\pm}3.04)$. Females show higher luminosity(L*) than males do in all teeth- central incisor, lateral incisor and canine; in yello chroma(b*) males' central incisor is slightly higher than that of females (p<0.05). Age significantly influences the luminosity and red (a*) and yellow chroma (b*) of central incisor(L*); the luminosity(L*), and yellow chroma(b*) of lateral incisor and canine (p<0.05). Smoking doesn't significantly influence the color of natural teeth. Drinking reduces the luminosity of central incisor as well as red chroma of lateral incisor(p<0.05). A chronic illness is likely to reduce the luminosity of central incisor and lateral incisor(p<0.05).
