Impact Of Digital Photography & Conventional Method On The Accuracy Of Dental Shade Matching In The Esthetic Zone

Impact Of Digital Photography & Conventional Method On The Accuracy Of Shade Matching In The Esthetic Zone

The aim of this study:

Is to evaluate the accuracy of digital photography in optimizing shade matching when compared to conventional method of shade selection.

Study Overview

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: group 1 Color matching using Vita 3D master; Outcome Name: Color Matching measured by : Modified (USPHS) criteria	Device: Vita 3D master shade guide; Alpha (A)Perfectly matched Beta (B)Not perfectly matched Charlie (C)unacceptable Determent by 10 observers; Other Names: Conventional shade matching
Experimental: group 2 Color matching using digital photography; Outcome Name: Color Matching measured by Digital Photography using (Photoshop) Software: 0 to 1: no difference in perception; 1 to 2: only perceptible to a trained observer; 2 to 3.5: perceptible difference; 3.5 to 5: marked difference	Device: Digital photography using software Photoshop; When taking the image, a gray card is used for subsequent exposure calibration in Adobe Camera Raw (which is packaged with Photoshop).; Images are then opened into Photoshop.; The "INFO" panel must be open.; Click on the small eyedropper in the Info panel window and click on ''Lab Color".; Place the mouse over the center of the tooth to be measured for L value.; Click on the "HSB Color" option, which stands for hue, saturation, and brightness.
