| Popis: | This study is conducted to determine the differences between the color parameters of the users of tobacco and/or nicotine products and the non-consumers in late adolescents. The spectrophotometer Vita easyshade V (VITA Zahnfabrik H. Rauter GmbH & Co. KG, Germany) was utilized in this work to measure the CIE L*, a*, b* values of the anterior teeth. Specifically, only the canines were selected and the determinations were on the vestibular surface. Each tooth was divided into three areas: cervical, central, and incisal. The selected option for the Vita easyshade V (VITA Zahnfabrik H. Rauter GmbH & Co. KG, Germany) was shade determination of the tooth area. The spectrophotometer was utilized in accordance with the guidelines provided by the manufacturer. A total of fifty-eight individuals took part in this study. Among them, 50% (n=29) participants, reported being consumers of tobacco and/or nicotine, while the remaining 50% (n=29) persons were not users. A statistically significant correlation in 1.3 central area L* is seen among consumers and non-consumers (p-value 0.012057). It is crucial to provide late adolescents with education regarding teeth staining, along with other oral health issues. |
