Abstract :

Introduction : The study was undertaken to investigate the effect of change in colour (value alteration)  on optical illusion in cases of mild anterior proclination. Methods : The study was conducted on 20 subjects with mild maxillary or mandibular anterior teeth proclination.  Cephalometric values fell within the normal range and ruled out the need for orthodontic correction. It was planned  to bleach the anteriors of respective arch to create a shade illusion and thereby camouflage the proclination. Color  measurements were executed by using a shade guide (VITA 3D–Master Shade Guide). Pre–operative photographs were  taken and smile was assessed Office bleaching (Pola office) was done for either upper or lower arch and post operative  smile assessment was done to evaluate the effectiveness in producing the illusion . Results :Statistically significant difference was observed where bleaching camouflage the proclination by 57% using Z  test in cases of mild anterior teeth proclination.
