Abstract

Aim & Objectives- To ensure a successful aesthetic outcome of a dental treatment, proper shade selection becomes a crucial step.
The most important aspect after any dental procedure is patient satisfaction. The study aims to evaluate a patients aesthetic
preferences regarding shades of artificial teeth
Materials & Methods- A cross sectional picture based survey was conducted in india among general population using a picture
based questionnaire. The questionnaire was circulated to 1248 people out of which 454 people responded. The shades which were
sent to the subjects for selection were according to the vita teeth shade guide.
Results & Conclusion- A total of 454 responses were gathered, out of which the highest number of people preferred A1
shade(43.0%). People have a perception that whiter teeth look more aesthetic. People prefer whiter teeth in contrast to darker
shades, which may be more natural looking. Hence patient perception needs to be taken into consideration during shade matching.
