Abstract
Background: Color effects on enamel and dentin play an important role in restorative dentistry, posing quite a challenge for the restoration of the anterior tooth group for clinicians to restore natural aesthetics in shape, color and harmony with the teeth, while helping to not recognize the boundary between tooth tissue and restoration. In order to provide some information about color effects and orientation to help dentists during the restoration process, we conducted a project with the goal of evaluating the characteristics of opal effects, white spot effects and special effects in dental students at University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Hue University.
Materials and method: The study was conducted on 205 dental students with the criteria that the upper incisors were neat, in the right position, no cavities, no restorations, and no periodontal disease or severe gingivitis. Set up the imaging system and take photos of the anterior teeth group according to standards. Record the opalescence, intensity, and characterization of the two upper central incisors according to the classification of Vanini L.
Results: Opalescence type 1, intensity type 1, characterization type 1 have the highest rate. Type 5 opalescence, type 4 intensity, type 5 characterization have the lowest rate. There is no statistically significant difference between opalescence, intensity, and characterization between men and women (p>0.05).
Conclusion: Opalescence, intensity, characterization type 1 are common in young people, there is no statistically significant difference between opal effects, white spots effect, characteristic effects between men and women.
