Denture tooth positioning jigs were fabricated and color data recorded by means of an intra-oral spectrophotometer and
expressed using the Commission Internationale d’Eclairage (CIE) L*a*b* color notation system. Means and standard deviations were determined. The staining data were analysed by three-way ANOVA, while the artificial ageing data were analysed by two-way ANOVA. Fisher’s PLSD intervals were calculated at a significance level of P 0.05.
