title: [Study of dental chromatic space].
abstract: Dental chromatic space has been the topic for many studies and most of all indicated that dental structures are very versatile from the colour point of view, therefore a proper shade selection is difficult to made. Our study made a comparison between the shades of dental structures of men and women of different ages, the measurements being done in three regions: incisal, middle and cervical. We used a spectrophotometer Spectra-Flash 600 and the PC programme Data-Master version 2.3 for both chromatic determinations and the statistical evaluations. The study proved that there are no major differences between the dental shades of men and women; meanwhile chrome increases with age and from incisal to cervical regions. Also, value increases from incisal to cervical region.
