Sažetak
Introduction: Precise determination of the tooth colour helps clinicians plan the therapy and significantly increases the patient’s satisfaction. Therefore, the aim of this research was to assess the dental students’ ability to accurately detect the tooth colour in relation to gender and level of education. Materials and Methods: Fifty-five subjects - dental students at the University of Rijeka, Croatia matched hidden colours of two brand-new A-D shade guides (Ivoclar Vivadent) with masked colour markings. The ability of students to differentiate between colours was assessed with a ratio of correctly detected colours and quantified on a 0-1 scale (with 1= absolutely correct). Results: Accuracy of colour determination was in the range of 0.40±0.20 to 0.72±0.20 and increased according to the completed years of study with a large effect size (p<0.001 ; η2=0.332). Differences between genders for colour detection ability were not significant (0.54±0.19 males vs. 0.53±0.24 females). Conclusion: Accuracy of colour determination is not perfect, but it may be improved with training, regardless of gender.
