Shade Matching in Fixed Partial Denture Patients

Abstract

Shade matching is a significant process in fixed dental prosthesis where the selection needs special attention
and systemic approach in covering all aspects. It is a fact that this approach is mainly used for achieving
the goals related to the morphological and optical acceptance within the community settings. A total of 960
patients were taken and analysed for shade matching in fixed partial denture. The data collection is done
from the dental archives of the patient management software system. The study is done under university
setting. The results were analysed using SPSS software version 20 by IBM.T he result observed is that there
is a highly achieved shade match with positive correlation and significant values (p<0.05) in the fixed partial
denture patients. From the overall study it was found that quality of shade match in fixed partial dentures
is clinically good. Special attention and effort to be performed during shade selection to get accurate shade
match in fixed dental prosthesis.
