Tooth color measurement

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tooth shade measurement is a measure to objectify conventional subjective-visual tooth shade determination .

purpose

In the dental practice, difficulties in visual color selection can be a challenge for dentists and dental technicians . For example, direct sunlight, adjustment phenomena, eye fatigue for the dentist evaluating the shade should be avoided and various rules should be observed. Tooth color measurements, for example with spectrophotometers or based on imaging systems, should help avoid intra-individual and inter-individual differences on the part of the practitioner.

However, many factors also affect the development of the tooth color in a very complex way - e.g. B. Luminous effect . This affects both the quality of the result of the conventional, subjective-visual tooth shade determination and the objectified tooth shade measurement. The systematic exploration of the complex interaction of various influencing factors, effects and phenomena on the development of dental shade, on the results of conventional and modern tooth shade determination methods, is currently the basis of intensive scientific research and publications. The focus of these scientific studies is on understanding the nature of tooth color and scientific phenomena in order to ultimately obtain a sound color-aesthetic result and to try out new methods.
