Methods: Spectral reflectance of 452 upper incisors (226 centrals and 226 laterals) of 113 participants were measured using a spectroradiometer at baseline and after short-term dehydration (minutes 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10). CIE L*a*b* color coordinates (L*, a*, b*, C*ab and hab) and whiteness index for dentistry (WID) were calculated. Color differences (ΔE00, ΔE∗ ab) and whiteness differences (ΔWID) were computed and interpreted based on their respective 50:50% perceptibility (PT) and acceptability thresholds (AT). Statistical analysis was performed using the related samples Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results: L* showed an increasing trend with dehydration, while a*, b*, C*ab and hab have a decreasing tendency. All chromatic coordinates showed statistically significant differences (p <0.003) at each interval of dehydration compared with baseline, except a* for all teeth. For ΔE00 and ΔE∗ ab values were higher than PT after 2 min of teeth dehydration and higher than AT after 6 and 8 min, respectively. The percentage of teeth exceeding corresponding PT was higher than 50% after 2 min. WID index increased with dehydration time, while whiteness differences were clinically perceptible after 4 min. Statistically significant differences were found for WID between all dehydration intervals (except 8− 10 min). The percentage of teeth exceeding whiteness PT was higher than 50% after 6 min of teeth dehydration. Conclusions: Short-term dental dehydration produces clinically unacceptable changes in tooth color and clinically perceptible increase in tooth whiteness level. Clinical significance: Clinical shade matching must be done within the first two minutes of any clinical procedure that requires precise chromatic determination but implies a risk of tooth dehydration.}, organization = {Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities PGC2018-101904-A-I00}, organization = {University of Granada A.TEP.280.UGR18}, publisher = {Elsevier}, keywords = {Dental dehydration}, keywords = {Color difference}, keywords = {Whiteness changes}, keywords = {Perceptibility thresholds}, keywords = {Acceptability thresholds}, title = {Impact of short-term dental dehydration on in-vivo dental color and whiteness}, doi = {10.1016/j.jdent.2020.103560}, author = {Ruiz López, Javier and Pulgar Encinas, Rosa María and Lucena Martín, Cristina and Peláez-Cruz, Priscilla and Cardona Pérez, Juan De La Cruz and Pérez Gómez, María Del Mar and Ghinea, Razvan Ionut}, }
