Objectives. The purpose of this study was to compare the shade changes in wet and dry conditions of natural teeth using two different intra-oral colorimeters. Materials and methods. Twenty volunteer subjects have no restorations and fillings in the maxillary central incisors were involved in this clinical study. The color of tooth was measured by two different instruments that were a Shade $Scan^{TM}$ System and a VITA $Easyshade^{(R)}$, Five times consecutive measurements were done for each subject with both instruments. Groups of measurement are an initial wet condition as control, dry in 5 minutes, 15 seconds after re-wetting with saliva, re-wetting after 5minutes and re-wetting after 30 minutes. Using ShadeScan $System^{TM}$, tooth image was captured and converted to the mapping image of Vitapan 3D master. Three main shades were chosen from each subject and calculated the area in Global Lab Image software. Data were analyzed using paired T-Test and Wilcoxon Signed Ranked Test. Using VITA $Easyshade^{(R)}$, color differences($\Delta$E) between measurements were analyzed with one sample T-test. Results. Using ShadeScan $System^{TM}$, there were significant differences between control group and dry(P=.023), dry and re-wetting 15 seconds, 5 minutes, 30 minutes as well(P=.021, P=.017, P=.030) in comparison of primary shade. However, comparing three main shades, there was no significant difference between control and dry(P=.105). Using VITA $Easyshade^{(R)}$, color differences($\Delta$E) between control and dry, dry and re-wetting 30 minutes were statistically different(P=.002, P=.022). Conclusion. Primary shade could be changed in dry and wetting procedure in time, however there was no significant shade changes in overall.

연구목적: 전문가 미백술 후 불소 도포가 커피 착색 시 치아 색에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하는 것이다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 44 개의 시편은 임의로4 개 그룹으로 나누었다. 그룹 1은 미백과 불소 처리를 하지 않고 치아 색에 대한 커피의 영향을 알아보기 위한 대조군이다. 그룹 2, 3, 4는 35% 과산화수소로 하루에 30 분간 3 일 동안 미백 처리 하였다. 그룹 2는 불소 도포를 하지 않았고, 그룹 3과 4에는 각각 Cavity shield$^{(R)}$와 pH 7 Gel$^{(R)}$을 도포하였다. 모든 그룹은 7 일간 커피 용액에 침전시켰다. 분광광도계 (VITA Easyshade$^{(R)}$)를 사용하여 명도 지수, 채도 지수, 색상 지수를 3 회 반복 측정하였다. 결과: 미백 처리한 그룹에서 명도 지수, 색상 지수의 증가와 채도 지수 감소를 보였다. 이는 Tukey의 HSD를 이용한 쌍체 비교 시 미백한 그룹의 명도 지수, 색상 지수 변화는 미백하지 않은 그룹과 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다 (P < .05). 커피 적용 시 모든 그룹에서 명도 지수, 색상 지수의 점차적인 감소를 보였고, 채도 지수는 감소 후 증가하였다. 커피 적용 7 일 후 그룹 간 명도 지수, 채도 지수, 색상 지수 변화는 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다 (P > .05). 또한 Cavity shield$^{(R)}$와 pH 7 Gel$^{(R)}$을 도포한 그룹 간에도 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다 (P>.05). 결론: 불소 도포가 치아 미백 후 외인성 착색을 방지하는데 도움을 주지 못한다고 결론지을 수 있었다.

Purpose: This study is to investigate the distribution of natural tooth shades in the Korean elderly population to quantify the correlation and changes of tooth color with age and gender. In addition, the possible effects of habits on tooth color were assessed. Materials and Methods: The tooth color of one of the maxillary central incisors of 200 Korean individuals aged 50 to 89 years, males and female, was measured using the portable intraoral spectrophotometer (VITA Easyshade V). CIELab and CIELCh color coordinates were recorded. We conducted the survey about the tobacco smoking, chronic disease, medication, eating habits, oral health behaviors and satisfaction with tooth color. Experimental data were statistically analyzed by using the t-test (P<0.05), two-way analysis of variance and Pearson's correlation test. Result: The most frequent color in the Korean elderly population was 3M3 & A3.5 shade. L^* and h^* values decreased, whereas C^*, a^* and b^* values increased progressively with age. There was a significant interaction between age and color coordinates for b^* values (r=0.245, P<0.05). Males generally have significantly higher C^*, a^*, b^* values and lower L^*, h^* value compared to females. Individuals who consumed alcohol had a higher L^* value (P<0.05). Conclusion: Within the limitation of this study, the central incisors were getting darker, more reddish, and yellowish with age. Information on the chromatic range of natural teeth by age and gender could help to select colors for esthetic dental restorations.
