Summary

In six consecutive patients planned to receive combined orthodontic-orthognathic surgery natural tooth color on 8 incisors was measured before initiation of the combined treatment (Time Point 1- baseline) and after its completion (Time Point 2- after intervention). The statistical interpretation of the results showed that tooth color change in the surgical group was higher in comparison to control groups. Control group I included non treatment subjects, while control group II included standard orthodontic treatment subjects. The results indicated that orthognathic surgery may affect natural tooth color but to small degree, as the color differences were just bellow the threshold value of 3.7 ΔΕ units. Under this value a color change cannot be easily detected by a human eye.
