Abstract. To evaluate the color changes of tetracycline stained teeth after restored with IPS-EMPRESS Ⅱ ceramics. Simulated tetracycline stained teeth were divided according to staining degree into four groups: mild, moderate, severe, and very severe groups; each group had ten specimens which were repaired with IPS-EMPRESS Ⅱ ceramics veneers, bonded with Vitique Esthetic Cementation System. The ShadeEye-NCC color system was used to analyze the change in L, a and b. ΔE were calculated to compare color difference among the four groups.Before and after bonding, the values of L, a, b were significantly different (P <0.05). Mild tetracycline stained teeth bonded using resin adhesive without opaque bonding have a better effect than moderate and severe tetracycline stained teeth bonded with opaque resin adhesive; while, it is best to use other restorations to repair very severe tetracycline stained teeth. The IPS-EMPRESS Ⅱ ceramics can effectively improve the color of discolored tooth, however , the final color of the veneered teeth is easily influenced by the color of the abutment teeth. Aluting agent with color masking ability can do some improvements in the final color. An appropriate bonding agent should be chosen to perfect the final results of the veneered tooth.

An optical properties of the flexographic prints on the shrink sleeve has been experimentally investigated. Two main materials of shrink sleeve: PVC and PET were used for the research. Films were printed using UV flexographic inks. The color changes arised during shrinking of the films were analysed. Investigations were done using CMYK and PANTONE color matching systems. Color characteristics CIE L*a*b* and color difference DE at different shrink level of the film was estimated. It was found that colors become darker during the shrinking of the film. In the case of rasterize image it is related to the deformation of the raster dots, decrease of the spaces between the raster dots and other factors. The biggest changes in the CMYK color system was determined in the Yellow color, while in the tested PANTONE color system – in the blue (P 290) color. The smallest changes in the CMYK color system was determined in the Cyan color, while in the PANTONE color system – in the white color. Eksperimentiškai ištirtos fleksografiniu spaudos būdu atspausdintų atspaudų ant susitraukiančių plėvelių optinės savybės. Tyrimui naudotos dvi pagrindinės susitraukiančioms plėvelėms naudojamos medžiagos: PVC ir PET, užspausdintos ultravioletiniais (UV) dažais. Išnagrinėti spalviniai pokyčiai, atsirandantys plėvelei besitraukiant. Tyrimai atlikti su CMYK ir PANTONE sistemų spalvomis. Nustatytos spalvinės charakteristikos CIE L*a*b* ir spalvų skirtumas DE, plėvelei susitraukiant skirtingai. Nustatyta, kad, plėvelėms besitraukiant, spalvos tamsėja. Rastruotuose vaizduose tai susiję su rastrinių taškelių deformacija, tarpų tarp rastrinių taškelių sumažėjimu ir kitais veiksniais. Didžiausi spalviniai pokyčiai CMYK spalvinėje sistemoje nustatyti Yellow (geltonoje) spalvoje, o tarp tirtų PANTONE sistemos spalvų – mėlynoje (P 290) spalvoje, mažiausi pokyčiai CMYK sistemoje nustatyti Cyan spalvoje, o PANTONE sistemoje – baltoje spalvoje.

The aim of this study was to investigate the characteristic of color changes in Thompson seedless grape during drying at 30°C, 35°C and 40°C air temperatures. The CIE LAB color system was used to measure the surface color of the grapes. It was found that browning began at middle period of drying, where parameters L* and b* decreased and parameter a* increased during drying. Color changes during browning process were described as a first-order kinetic model, where the activation energies for the parameters L*, a*, b*, and total color difference were respectively 40.19, 24.29, 35.43, and 39.46 kJ·mol1.

In this study the effect of high temperature on color change of okan wood was investigated. Wood specimens were subjected to heat treatment at 160°C, 180°C,200°C,220°Cfor 4 hours with the superheated steam as a heating medium and a shielding gas. Color changes were measured in the Minolta Croma-Meter CR-300 color system. The color parameters L*, a*, b* were determined by the CIEL*a*b* method on the surface of untreated and treated wood, and their variation with regard to the treatment (△L*,△a*,△b* ) were calculated. It was found that heat treatment resulted in a darkening of wood tissues, Color became dark with the temperature increases. The darkening accelerated when treatment temperature exceeded approximately 200°C. We found that heat treatment temperature were substantially important regarding the color responses. Strong correlations between total color difference and the treatment temperature were found. The effect of treatment temperature on color change in sapwood is more obvious than that in heartwood, the color of sapwood and heartwood tended to be more uniform when the temperature reaches more than 200°C.

Abstract Objectives To assess tooth discoloration induced by different hydraulic calcium silicate-based cements (HCSCs), including effects of blood and placement method. Materials and methods Eighty bovine teeth cut to a length of 18 mm (crown 8 mm, root 10 mm) were randomly assigned to 10 groups (n = 8), receiving orthograde apical plug treatment (APT). Apical plugs were 4 mm in length and made of ProRoot MTA (Dentsply), Medcem MTA (Medcem), TotalFill BC RRM Fast Set Putty (Brasseler), or Medcem Medical Portland Cement (Medcem) plus bismuth oxide (Bi2O3) with and without bovine blood. Further, orthograde (with or without preoperative adhesive coronal dentin sealing) and retrograde APT were compared. Teeth were obturated with gutta-percha and sealer, sealed with composite and stored in distilled water. Tooth color was measured on apical plug, gutta-percha/sealer, and crown surface before treatment versus 24 h, 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months after treatment by spectrophotometry. Color difference (ΔE) values were calculated and analyzed by Shapiro–Wilk test, ANOVA with post hoc tests, Friedman test, t test, and post hoc tests with Bonferroni correction (α = .05). Results Tooth discoloration occurred in all groups with no significant differences between HCSCs (p > .05). After 24 months, color changes were prominent on roots but insignificant on crowns. Blood contamination induced a significantly decreased luminescence (p < .05). Blood had a stronger impact on tooth color than Bi2O3. No relevant effects of retrograde placement (p > .05) or preoperative dentin sealing (p > .05) were detected. Conclusions Apical plugs of the tested HCSCs cause discoloration of bovine roots, but not discoloration of bovine tooth crowns within a 24-month period. Clinical relevance APT should be performed carefully while avoiding direct contact with the coronal dentin, and in that case no aesthetic impairments occur.

The Influence of Resin against the Change of Color on the Wall PaintThe quality of the paint is determined by the resin used. Synthetic resins for polymer paints are made by combining several monomers to achieve various characteristics. The incorporation of some monomers such as polyvinyl acetate resin, acrylic vinyl resin and acrylic styrene resin which act as a binder can affect the quality of the paint especially the color change. The purpose of this study is to find the color changes that occur on the wall paint by using Poly Styrene Acrylic , Poly Vinyl Acetate and Poly Vinyl Acrylic. From the results of the measurement of color difference, significant color change occurs in the Poly Vinyl Acetate (PVAc) + Poly Vinyl Acrylic (PVA) and Poly Styrene Acrylic (PSA). The results of the quality test of the three resins based on pH test, scrub test and viscosity test, PSA has better quality compared to PVA + PVAc and PVA resin.

The novelty of this study consists of the formulation and characterization of three experimental bleaching gels with hydroxylapatite oxides and fluorine (G28®, G29®, G30®) based on natural fruit extracts compared to the commercial Opalescence 15% (GC, Ultradent, South Jordan, UT, USA). Studies have been conducted on the effect that the experimental bleaching gels have on the color and morphology of different restorative materials (Nanofill®-Schulzer, P.L. Superior Dental Materials GmbH, Hamburg, Germany, and experimental nanocomposites (P11®, P31®, P61®)), immersed in coffee and artificial saliva (for 10 days and 30 days). The study also includes a cytotoxicity test on the gels and nanocomposites after bleaching, with ISO 109993-5 protocols on human dental follicle stem cells. UV-VIS spectroscopy, computerized measurement, and fluorescence spectrometry were used in order to observe the color changes, while the microstructure of the surface was investigated by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). All of the samples immersed in coffee showed the highest color shift in comparison to the baseline. The color difference ΔE values obtained using the two methods (UV-Vis, computerized based on digital images) both after coloring and bleaching, respectively, were different for all four types of nanocomposites stored in the coffee, while no difference was observed in those stored in artificial saliva. The studied experimental gels and nanocomposites had a low cytotoxic effect on cell cultures after bleaching.

Color in tomato is the most important external characteristic to assess ripeness and postharvest life, and is a major factor in the consumer's purchase decision. Degree of ripening is usually estimated by color charts. Colorimeters, on the other hand, express colors in numerical terms along the L*, a* and b* axes (from white to black, green to red and blue to yellow, respectively) within the CIELAB color sphere which are usually mathematically combined to calculate the color indexes. Color indexes and their relationship to the visual color classification of tomato fruits vine ripened were compared. L*, a* and b* data (175 observations from eleven cultivars) from visually classified fruits at harvest in six ripening stages according to the USDA were used to calculate hue, chroma, color index, color difference with pure red, a*/b* and (a*/b*)². ANOVA analysis were performed and means compared by Duncan's MRT. Color changes throughout tomato ripening were the result of significant changes in the values of L*, a* and b*. Under the conditions of this study, hue, color index, color difference and a*/b* expressed essentially the same, and the color categories were significantly different in terms of human perception, with hue showing higher range of values. Chroma was not a good parameter to express tomato ripeness, but could be used as a good indicator of consumer acceptance when tomatoes are fully ripened. The (a*/b*)² relationship had the same limitations as chroma. For vine ripened fruits, hue, color index, color difference and a*/b* could be used as objective ripening indexes. It would be interesting to find out what the best index would be if ripening took place under inadequate conditions of temperature and ilumination.

Abstract Colors are frequently defined by three points on the L*a*b* coordinates of the CIELAB color space, and the distance between two colors can be expressed as the total color difference ΔE. In particular with respect to reproducibility of print media color differences are an important parameter, as well as for car finishes and textile dyes. Color changes are also the result of ageing and weathering which is an issue for art objects and in the building and restoration sector. However, the subjective perceptibility of color differences depends on numerous factors and general thresholds are difficult to define. This study aimed therefore on defining tolerance levels for color changes in dependence of color tones and color tone combinations as well as their resolution. In total 30 test persons evaluated samples, which had been painted with acrylic artist colors with defined color differences (ΔE = 0–7). The test subjects realized color differences already at ΔE = 1–4 for the highest resolution. Threshold values have been identified for different tones as well as the effect of interdependencies between tones and the level of color heterogeneity between adjacent areas.

The aim of the present study is to measure the optical properties of dental materials, color and translucency, as well as their radiopacity using digital images. To do this, an original software application implementing two functions has been developed. Determining the radiopacity amount of certain areas of the materials is achieved by interpolating the values of ten aluminum plates used as reference. The study of this property is achieved by interpreting the statistical results and graphs displayed. The translucency value was calculated as the difference of the CIELab color system values for two digital images representing the same material on white and black background, respectively. In order to evaluate the color changes of the biomaterials, the samples were immersed in coffee, wine and orange juice. The application has been tested on several experimental materials based on bioceramics, dental composites and giomers, and the results are similar to the ones obtained using other evaluation methods.
