Study Notes

Color Matching and Shade Determination

  • Color matching and shade determination are crucial in restorative dentistry.

  • Color is a psychophysical response to the interaction between light and an object, perceived by the observer.

  • Visible light is a form of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths between 390 and 770 nm.

  • Each wavelength corresponds to a specific color.

  • Light sources emit either a single wavelength (monochromatic) or multiple wavelengths (polychromatic).

  • Light waves pass through composite materials, interacting with filler particles of varied sizes and shapes within the composite. This scattering process affects color and translucency characteristics.

  • Factors affecting color perception: Light source, object, and the observer (human eye). Cone cells in the retina perceive color. Color is determined by different wavelengths' absorbance and reflection by the object.

  • Mechanism of color perception: Color of light and color of the object itself. The object absorbs some wavelengths and reflects others. The more light reflected, the lighter the object appears.

  • Color perception: Color of the object is determined by the wavelengths reflected, absorbed, or transmitted. Less reflected light, the darker the object appears. Increased reflection makes it appear whiter.

  • Color systems:

    • RGB system: Primary colors are red, green, and blue.
    • Munsell color system: Defines color using Hue, Value, and Chroma.
    • CIE system: Defined the XYZ color space in 1931.
    • CIELAB system: Used to describe color and quantify color differences.
    • CIEDE 2000 system: A color difference formula developed to quantify color differences.
    • CMC color tolerance: A system using a single numerical value to quantify color differences.

  • Optical properties of the natural tooth:

    • Tooth color results from interactions between enamel, dentin, and pulp and light. This interaction leads to specular and diffuse reflection, transmission, and translucency.
    • Enamel is more translucent than dentin, which is almost opaque.

  • Biomimetic approach according to translucency: High, medium, and low translucency composites mimic natural tooth structure.

  • Biomimetic approach according to chroma:

    • Monochromatic composite resin (single shade) used in small cavities for simplicity and lower cost, but it may not perfectly match the natural tooth color for larger restorations.
    • Polychromatic composite resin (multishade technique) for a more precise shade matching across the entire tooth structure, but it is more time-consuming and expensive.

  • Tooth whitening shade guide: Used to discuss expected results and communicate bleaching degrees before and after teeth whitening treatment.

  • 3D Master shade guide: A guide used for indirect restoration shade-taking, categorizing shades by value, chroma, and hue.

  • Natural Die series: A series of composite shade guides specifically for matching tooth dentin shades (ND1-ND3).

  • Digital shade determination techniques:

    • Spectrophotometer: Measures shade instantly, providing objective results and data.
    • Digital imaging using DSLR cameras or mobile phones: Allows for capturing and assessing various aspects of the tooth's appearance (color, translucency). Software like Shade Wave, Rayplicker, Photoshop, and Adobe can process acquired data.
    • Intraoral scanners: Record and assess the shade in conjunction with software, enhancing precision and repeatability.

  • Principles of proper shade determination:

    • Selecting tooth dentin shade taking consideration of any exposed regions.
    • Selecting enamel, especially on the middle third.
    • Analyzing incisal/translucent elements in the incisal third.
    • Performing color mapping from cervical to incisal areas.
    • Using hydrated shade guides with proper light sources for accurate shade selection and making mock-ups before appliance fabrication.

  • The dental operator should:

    • Use a shade guide and light source resembling daylight conditions.
    • Use neutral colors for the dental surroundings to avoid color interference.
    • Have the patient remove lipstick or any color that could interfere with the shade selection process.
    • Use a cross-polarized imaging and software to improve object shade selection.

  • Metamerism: Appearance of two objects in different colors under differing light sources

  • Tooth structure and age influence observed shade; the enamel's optical characteristics and the dentin's color influence the tooth's appearance.

  • Fluroescence: Tooth tissues spontaneously emit light due to the interaction with the excited light source. This light shows as a brighter color and is used to aid in detecting and estimating tooth color.

  • Opalescence and Counter-opalescence: The variations in color reflect specific tooth structures.
