Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare the applicability of two shade-matching approaches: Vintage Halo
shade guide (visual method) and ShofuShadeEye NCC colorimeter (instrumental method). Twenty participants'
maxillary left central incisors were evaluated. Corresponding metal ceramic crowns were fabricated with each
shade-matching approach. The colour distributions (L*, a* and b*) of the middle third region of each tooth and
corresponding metal ceramic crowns were spectrophotometrically assessed. The colour difference (DeltaE)
and colour distributions (DeltaL*, Deltaa* and Deltab*) between the tooth and the corresponding crowns were
calculated. We found that the colour differences of both groups fell within the clinical unacceptable range
(DeltaE> 2.75). Regarding DeltaE and the three colour distributions, no significant difference was found,
expect for a* (P < 0.01). The shade matching difficulty degree was analysed through the agreements of visual
shade selection. Within easy matching cases, the instrumental method achieved better results (P = 0.041). In
conclusion, it is suggested that the reliability of shade matching can be ensured by neither the colorimeter nor
the visual approach. However, the colorimeter can achieve better results within easy matching cases.

• One of the most challenging aspects of restorative dentistry is colour

assessment and its reproduction.
• An increasing number of computer-based instruments for shade selection
have entered the market.
• Manufacturers claim that these instruments remove the subjectivity
associated with visual shade mapping and facilitate more consistent and
accurate measurements.
• This clinical investigation assessed the ability of three tooth colour
measuring devices to repeat their own results under standardised clinical
conditions.
 • Spectroshade Micro™ was the most repeatable device tested.

Abstract
The selection of an appropriate material that duplicates the appearance of natural tooth
structure is very important in restorative dentistry. Photometric and colorimetric analysis
techniques offer great potential as a tool for aiding in the duplication process. The degree
to which these techniques will be useful depends on the accuracy and precision with which
they can be applied to translucent as well as opaque surfaces. The purpose of this
investigation was to evaluate the performance of three currently-available photometric
devices.
The performance capabilities of the instruments were tested on various shades of opaque
and translucent dental porcelain surfaces. The performance tests were designed for
evaluation of the accuracy and precision of the instrument relative to a well-studied
reference instrument. CIELAB color difference metrics were used for the performance
analysis.
The results revealed that each of the photometric instruments evaluated was capable of
producing color measurements with precision. However, the degree of accuracy with
which the color measurements were made varied depending on the instrument used and the
type of material surface being measured. A photo-electric tristimulus colorimeter showed
the best overall performance on the porcelain surfaces, supporting its use as a valuable
tool for evaluating color in dentistry.

Effects of Instrument-measuring Geometry on

Colorimetric Assessments of Dental Porcelains

Abstract
Recent developments in optical electronic instrumentation for color control have made the
potential use of clinical photometric analysis a future possibility for dental materials
selection and custom restoration design. The development of such instrumentation will
require a more complete understanding of the performance of current technologies on
translucent materials. This study was designed to evaluate the effects of instrument-
measuring geometry on color-difference assessments made on dental porcelains. The
results indicate that a high degree of correlation can exist between color-difference
measurements regardless of the design of the instrument-measuring geometry. This work
suggests that the development of clinically useful devices need not be restricted to more
traditional integrating-sphere-type designs and that more photometrically efficient
alternative designs should be explored.

Visual shade matching has remained a skill acquired throughclinical

experience. The purpose of this study was to evaluatethe shade matching
ability of dental students as they progressthrough their education. Sixty-five
students, representing fourlevels of experience by year enrolled in dental
school, participatedin this study. Students were given a preclinical shade tab
matchingtask. They were also asked to choose the best shade match fora
natural tooth in each of three patients. The natural toothshade matching task
was designed to have simple, moderate, andcomplex cases to match. The
frequency of correct answers wascompared across samples across the four
levels of fundamentaltab match ability and clinical experience. On average, 51
percentof the students were able to match the correct shade tab inthe
matching task in a bench setting. For the natural toothcolor matching task,
49.2 percent of the students selected theclinically acceptable color matched

shade tabs ( E* 2.69). Althoughthere was no statistically significant difference

across thelevels of fundamental ability and experience, rates of correctanswers
for natural tooth color matching progressively improvedfor the complex case
from year 1 to year 4. This study revealsthat, for complex cases, education and
knowledge of color sciencecombined with clinical experience improve students’
abilityfor color matching in a clinical setting.

ABSTRACT
 Purpose: This in vitro study was designed to evaluate the new ShadeEye-EX Chroma Meter and a new visual

porcelain shade-matching system (Vitapan 3-D Master, Omega 900) in comparison to the traditionally used

visual porcelain shade-matching system (Vita Lumin Vacuum, VMK 68). Materials and Methods: Shade

matches and porcelain fabrications on individualized shade tabs were carried out. The fabricated porcelain

tabs were evaluated against the respective natural tooth using the United States Public Health Service

(USPHS) criteria to determine clinically acceptable match. The tabs also were ranked according to the final-

color match to the corresponding natural tooth.

Results: The percentage of clinically acceptable color matches were as follows: Vita Lumin Vacuum (46.67%),

ShadeEye-EX (40%), and Vitapan 3-D Master (56.67%). The generalized estimating equation (α= 0.5) showed

no statistically significant difference between systems in obtaining a clinically acceptable match (p= .5729).

The chi-squared test (α= 0.5) showed no statistically significant difference between systems in terms of rank

order (p= .5017). The two new systems do not produce color match that is better than the conventional visual

porcelain shade-matching system.

CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE

Both the shade-matching environment and communication between dentist and technician should be optimized

with use of visual and instrumental shade-matching systems

One of many challenges in cosmetic dentistry is to accomplish appropriate and satisfactory

reproduction of natural shade of teeth and in that way to make successful restoration. The procedure

of choosing a shade can be performed using visual method or by an instrument. The kind of shade

guide, individual ability to choose shades and conditions the choice is made under, all have influence

on reliability and accuracy of the procedure. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce instrumental color

determination in everyday work. The instrumental color determination method considers use of a

spectrophotometer, a colorimeter and a digital camera or even the combination of all three in shade

matching. The purpose of this article was to present all amenities and advantages of the instrumental

color determination in shade matching through the demonstration of the clinical performances of an

intraoral spectrophotometer VITA Easyshade Compact device. VITA Easyshade Compact device

provides fast and reliable measuring and gives results that are not influenced by the conditions under

which the shade was chosen or by the person who made choice. Shade matching using a

spectrophotometer meets all the requirements for choosing the shade by vision, therefore it is

recommended for clinical work.
