Abstract
Statement of problem
Although the use of colorimeter to improve the accuracy of tooth color measurement has increased, it is real situation that there is almost no comparative study about the accuracy among various colorimeters.
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to compare the accuracy of porcelain color reproducibility using ShadeEye-Ncc dental chroma meter (Shofu Inc., Kyoto, Japan) and ShadepilotTM system (Degudent Inc., Hanau, Germany).
Material and methods
Color of 2M2 and 3M2 shade tap of Vitapan 3D Master shade guide were measured using the above two colorimeters. Porcelain specimens were fabricated through this data. The porcelain systems used were Vintage Halo Porcelain system with ShadeEye-Ncc dental chroma meter, and VitaOmega900 Porcelain system with ShadepilotTM system. Colors of shade tap models and porcelain specimen were measured with spectrophotometer, and calculated delta E based on the results.
Results
The following results were obtained. 1. ShadepilotTM system showed more suitable porcelain color reproducibility compared to ShadeEye-Ncc dental chroma meter (P < .05). 2. The result showed the difference of porcelain color reproducibility according to shade of Shade tap which is model. More suitable porcelain color reproducibility was shown at 3M2 shade tap than at 2M2 shade tap (P < .05). 3. The average of ΔE∗ of porcelain specimens which was made by the two colorimeters was 4.44-6.14, so the difference of shade was shown through the naked eye.
