Abstract
Aim: The objective was to determine whether there were significant correlations in the three color coordinates of central incisors and canine teeth with age such as the Commission Internationale de l’Eclairage (CIE) L*, a*, b* system.Materials and Methods: The natural maxillary central incisor and maxillary canine teeth of a sample of 302 individuals (n=104 male, n=168 female) were measured by the Vita Easyshade V spectrophotometer. Pearson correlations between each pair of the color coordinates were determined (p<0.01).Results: Based on correlation analyses, for central incisors all the color coordinate parameters showed significant correlations but there was no correlation for canine teeth with all of three parameters.Conclusions: When age increases, the central incisors become darker, more red, and more yellow. The same correlation was found for the canine teth but the result is not significant.
