SummaryBackground/Aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate compatibility between visual and digital color measurement methods.Material and Methods: The color measurement components of intact natural maxillary right central incisor and left canine teeth of eighty patients were measured with visually shade guide and, digitally, with digital device. The color matchings were performed for each teeth on labial surfaces divided into three regions: cervical, middle and incisal. Ligthness, MLR (M: means middle hue, L designates greener, R designates redder) and chroma levels were assessed for each tooth on divided regions respectively. Measurements were performed by the same and experinced dentist with healthy eyes. The data were analyzed with Kappa and weighted Kappa coefficient (p< 0.05).Results: The compatibility between visual and digital methods did not exist for MLR and chroma. The compatibility between both methods were determined only for ligthness of maxillary central and canine teeth at all regions of labial surfaces.Conclusions: There was compatibility only for ligthness of intact natural teeth at all regions with both methods.

ABSTRACT Aim The aim of this study is to compare the color space of Vita Lumin shade guide (SG) with the natural teeth of the local population. Materials and methods A total of 100 maxillary central incisors (100 patients) were subjected to color measurement with a spectrocolorimeter. For each tooth, L*, a*, b* values were recorded. All the shade tabs of Vita Lumin SG were analyzed with a spectrocolorimeter to define the color space covered by the Vita Lumin SG. The L*a*b* values of natural teeth were plotted on separate scattered diagrams and compared. Results About two out of three attributes (luminance and blue spectrum) of the local population of Bengaluru displayed a broader range than those available in Vita Lumin SG. Conclusion The local population requires an SG with an extended range, covering a higher luminance spectrum and broader blue spectrum. Clinical significance Esthetic restorations require accurate shade matching with the adjacent natural teeth, SGs being the mean of shade selection and communication should be comparable to the natural teeth.

ABSTRACT Aim There is limited and inconsistent information on some factors affecting visual shade selection. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of shade guide type and professional experience on shade-matching results. Materials and methods Thirty Dental students (DS), 30 General dentists (GDs) and 30 Dental specialists (S) participated in this study. The participants were asked to match six target tabs using two dental shade guides: Vitapan Classical (VC) and Vitapan 3D-Master (3D). An intraoral spectrophotometer was used for color measurement of target tabs and selected tabs. The color difference (Conflict of interest: NoneE) values between the target tab and selected tab were calculated. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and paired t-test (α = 0.05). Results of the first five best matches for each target tab were expressed as ΔE1 to ΔE5. Differences in the mean values of ΔE1 to ΔE5 between VC and 3D were compared using descriptive statistics. Results There were no significant differences among the three participating groups in ΔE values when the 3D was used (p = 0.389). However, significant differences were found with VC (p < 0.001). The ΔE values achieved from the 3D were significantly lower than those from VC for DS and S (p = 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively). For each of the first five best matches, the mean ΔE values from the 3D were smaller than the corresponding values of VC. Conclusion The type of dental shade guide affected the shadematching results. The level of experience was not found to be an influential factor in shade matching when 3D-Master shade guide was used. Clinical significance Compared with Vitapan Classical shade guide, use of the Vitapan 3D-Master shade guide improves shade-matching results.

<P>Objective: This study aimed to assess possible differences in results provided by two shade guides and a spectrophotometer used to measure the color changes during tooth bleaching. </P><P> Methods: Fifty-six patients underwent two sessions of in-office tooth bleaching with a 35% hydrogen peroxide with a week of an interval between them. The color evaluation was performed using shade match with two guide scales (Vita Classical, and Vita Bleach Guide) and a spectrophotometer providing CieLab data. The color was assessed at baseline and 7 days after each session, and 30 days after the last session. Data from scales were arranged in scores according to lightness (lowest to highest) and the color changes were calculated based on baseline data. For CieLab data, &#916;L, &#916;a, &#916;b, and &#916;E were calculated for each assessment time. Differences between the color changes observed in each session were assessed by Wilcoxon test (&#945; = 0.05). Friedman`s test and One-way repeated measures ANOVA were used to analyze color changes among the assessment times. Spearman`s test was used to evaluate the correlation between the shade guide scores and data from Cielab. </P><P> Results: All methods of color measurement demonstrated any additional effect of second bleaching session on color change, and stable color after 30 days (p < 0.001 for all methods). Both shade guide scales presented low correlation coefficients with &#916;L, and moderate coefficients with &#916;b, Δa, and &#916;E. </P><P> Conclusion: Despite the weak/ moderate correlation among the methods used to measure tooth color, all methods showed similar results of tooth bleaching effectiveness.</P>

The fabrics made of different color values of Lightness (L), Chromaticity (C) and hue angle (h) of warp and weft silks were designed to testify color mixing. According to Glassman’s two-color adding and mixing principle, theoretical values of L0, C0 and h0 for all yarns were calculated. After all yarns were weaved, L1, C1 and h1’s value of each fabric were measured by ultrascan PRO of Optoelectronic integration color measurement instrument. The differences between measured and theoretical values expressed by ΔL, ΔC and Δh were calculated. ΔL, ΔC and Δh characteristics were analyzed and the relationship between ΔL, ΔC and Δh and the colors of warp and weft were discussed. The effects of the relative portion of warp and weft silks, the collection and distribution of interweave points, the uniformity of organized points’ distribution on color mixing based on the measured and theoretical values of fabric were further investigated.

ABSTRACT Objective The objective of this study was to investigate the intra and interdevice reliability of two tooth color measurement devices: EasyShade (ES) and SpectroShade Micro (SSM). Materials and methods Tooth color was measured in six maxillary and mandibular. L*, a* and b* values and shade matches to VITA Classical and Vitapan 3D-Master shade guide systems were determined for all teeth. ÄE was assessed. Paired t-test and correlation coefficient (ICC) were used. Results Intradevices no significant differences (p > 0.05) were found between L*, a*, b*. Interdevice L* and b* were significantly higher for ES (p < 0.05), while a* was significantly higher for SSM (p < 0.05). ÄE showed no significant interdevice difference (p > 0.05). Intradevices ICC values were higher for ES but not significant (p > 0.05). Discussion The null hypotheses that they present no differences in their color measuring within devices or shade systems is accepted, but the results allow to reject the null hypotheses that they present no differences in their color measuring or shade systems between devices. Conclusion Both EasyShade (ES) and SpectroShade Micro (SSM) show excellent repeatability and so they can be used in office to evaluate tooth color or to assess color changes after treatment. Clinical significance Dental color can be diagnosed using dental spectrophotometers, allowing to detect in an objective way therapeutic dental color changes.

Gloss is widely accepted as a surface- and illuminationbased property, both by definition and by means of metrology. However, mechanisms of gloss perception are yet to be fully understood. Potential cues generating gloss perception can be a product of phenomena other than surface reflection and can vary from person to person. While human observers are less likely to be capable of inverting optics, they might also fail predicting the origin of the cues. Therefore, we hypothesize that color and translucency could also impact perceived glossiness. In order to validate our hypothesis, we conducted series of psychophysical experiments asking observers to rank objects by their glossiness. The objects had the identical surface geometry and shape but different color and translucency. The experiments have demonstrated that people do not perceive objects with identical surface equally glossy. Human subjects are usually able to rank objects of identical surface by their glossiness. However, the strategy used for ranking varies across the groups of people.
