[A primary study of color tolerance of anterior tooth crown prosthesis]
1Dept. of Prosthodontics, The Ninth People's Hospital, College of Stomatology, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Shanghai 200011, China.
Objective:
To study the color tolerance of anterior ceramic crown and seek an effective approach for color-matching of oral prostheses.
Methods:
30 single maxillary incisor ceramic prostheses and the corresponding nature teeth were measured by a digital camera in a steady environment for image taking and color measurement, which based on the standard recommended by CIE. The color tolerance was analyzed in two groups based on satisfaction and dissatisfaction of prostheses color-matching.
Results:
The deltaE of satisfaction group was 2.5503, while the deltaE of dissatisfaction group was 4.0772. There was significant difference between chromatic aberration of satisfaction group and dissatisfaction group (P<0.01). When the lightness and saturation of prosthesis were higher than nature teeth, there was no significant difference between deltaL*, deltab*, deltaC* of satisfaction group and dissatisfaction group (P>0.05). When the lightness and saturation of prosthesis were smaller than nature teeth, there was significant difference between deltaL*, deltab*, deltaC* of satisfaction group and dissatisfaction group (P<0.01). There was significant difference between deltaa*, deltaH of satisfaction group and dissatisfaction group (P<0.05, P<0.01).
Conclusion:
Control of color difference is the key for shade matching of anterior tooth prosthesis. Applying the color tolerance is beneficial to improving the prosthesis quality.

The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...
