Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Medical and Dental Sciences Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 6
Abstract
Aim; Aim of the present study was to correlate tooth shade with skin colour and gender. Materials and Method; The study comprised of 250 subjects. The sample selection was done through non-probability sampling technique. The study included both the genders with age group ranging from 18 years to 35years old. The shade guide used in this study was Vitapan Classical (Vident) shade guide. The tabs in this shade guide were divided in to four groups (A, B, C, D), with A group shade contains 5 tabs (A1, A2, A3, A3.5, A4); B group shade contains 4 tabs (B1, B2, B3, B4); C group shade contains 4 tabs (C1, C2, C3, C4); D group shade contains 3 tabs (D2, D3, D4). Based on the shade guide of Revlon makeup foundation, colour of the skin is categorized as fair, medium and the dark. The spearman’s correlation and chi-square test was used for statistical analysis with a P-value of 0.05 is considered to be statistically significant. Results; Among 250 subjects, shade A group had 96 (38.4%) subjects, shade B group had 81 (32.4%) subjects, shade C group had 56 (22.4%) subjects and shade D group had 17 (6.8%) subjects. A2 (n=59) shade from A group, B1 (n=51) shade from B group, C1 (n=56) shade from C group, D2 (n=10) shade from D group had highest number of subjects as per Chi-Square analysis. The association of gender to the different shades of the tooth was proved to be significant. The correlation of skin colour with different shade of tooth showed that; medium coloured skin of A2 shade (n=32) from A shade, medium coloured skin of B1 shade (n=28) from B shade, medium coloured skin of C1 shade (n=32) from C shade, medium coloured skin of D2 shade (n=5) from D shade had highest number of subjects and therefore correlation was proved to be statistically significant. Conclusion; There was a significant positive correlation between skin colour and different shades of tooth, which proved that the people with skin colour of fair to medium will have teeth with lighter shade. Key words; gender, shade guide, skin colour, tooth colour
