Statement of problem: Shade selection has traditionally been accomplished by visual examination, which is particularly relevant to the shade selection of anterior teeth, but the subjective nature of visual analysis can lead to errors in shade matching. Recently shade selection systems have been developed to provide a more objective and scientific approach to understanding and clarifying shade selection. Purpose : The purpose of this study was analysis of various shade analyzing equipment with the goal of providing a more objective shade selection. Materials and method: Visual shade matching system selection(Vita Lumin Vacuum shade guide, Vitapan 3D Master shade guide) and mechanical shade matching method($ShadeEye^{(R)}$-EX Chroma Meter, $Shadescan^{TM}$ System) used for this study. The shade guide tap specimens for 10 extracted maxillary anterior teeth were produced by selecting shades using each shade matching system. The accuracy of the selection of shades for the teeth and fabricated specimens were evaluated by analyzing the calculated shade difference(${\Delta}E^*$), using a spectrophotometer and calculating the output of value $L^*,\;a^*,\;b^*$. Results and conclusion: The results show that the average ${\{Delta}E^*$ value (difference of shade) of the shade tap specimens to the actual specimen decreased in the following order: Vita Lumin Vacuum Shade Guide(VL), $ShadeEye^{(R)}$-EX Chroma Meter(SE) Vitapan 3D Master Shade guide(V3), and $Shadescan^{TM}$ System(55) : and that there are significant statistical differences between the VL and SS (p<0.05). In the analysis of the ${\Delta}E^*$ (difference of shade) value,40% of the VL group was found to be less than 3.3 (limit value of shade tap specimens clinically acceptable), 60% in the V3 group, 50% in the SE group, and 80% in the SS group.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate shade selection using conventional visual assessment in vivo natural teeth and porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crown. Maxillary central incisors, lateral incisors and canines of one hundred twenty four college women were used as vivo natural teeth. Fifty one PFM crown for maxillary central incisor fabricated by dental laboratory were used as experimental materials. Using Vitapan Classical Shade Guides, shade selection of natural teeth was measured by each college woman and shade selection of PFM crown was measured by three ceramists with more than ten years career. Both natural teeth and PFM crown shade selection were measured through Shade Eye-Ex. From the shade selection comparing, following results were obtained. The results were as follows: 1. The shade matching identification of natural teeth between the shade selection using Vitapan Classical Shade Guides and the shade selection using Shade Eye-Ex was 27.4% in maxillary central incisor, 13.7% in lateral incisor and 18.5% in canine. 2. Among the shade selection of PFM crown by three ceramists, the shade evaluation of three ceramists were same only in ten cases. In twenty case, those of two ceramists were same. 3. The shade matching identification of PFM crown between the shade selection using Vitapan Classical Shade Guides and the shade selection using Shade Eye-Ex was 38.6% in average. These results suggest that the shade selection using conventional visual assessment should be dealt with care in clinic and need a credible method for shade matching color.

The ability of a dentist to select and communicate an acceptable shade match to a dental laboratory may be the most important factor in esthetic restorative dentistry. However, shade matching is a very complex situation. In this study, an attempt was made to compare and evaluate the conventional visual assessment and colorimetric analysis in clinical shade matching. 20 patients were selected and their maxillary central incisors shade were measured by Vita classic shade guide, using $Shadepilot^{TM}$ and ShadeEye $NCC^{(R)}$. The results indicate that there is much variation in the shade selection by visual and instrumental methods.

This study aimed to compare color matching between single-shade composite resin-restored teeth with various pulp capping materials and the dentin surrounding the restoration through instrumental analysis and visual evaluation of the color difference. Fifty maxillary right central incisor acrylic resin teeth were prepared with standardized Class III cavities on the proximal surfaces. These teeth were divided into five groups: restored with single-shade composite resin only; Ultra-Blend^TM plus followed by single-shade composite resin; TheraCal PT^TM followed by single-shade composite resin; Endocem^® MTA premixed followed by single-shade composite resin; and Well-root PT^TM followed by single-shade composite resin. The color difference (ΔE_ab^*) between the restored area and the center of the resin teeth was measured using a spectrophotometer. No significant color difference was observed in groups restored with only single-shade composite resin, Ultra-Blend^TM plus, and TheraCal PT^TM. The visual evaluation revealed that Ultra-Blend^TM plus exhibited the best color matching score, whereas the Endocem^® MTA premixed and Well-root PT^TM groups showed significantly lower color matching scores than the single-shade composite resin-only group. When opting for single-shade composite resin usage for anterior tooth restorations with the aim of reducing chair time, pulp capping materials Ultra-Blend^TM plus and TheraCal PT^TM provide esthetically pleasing results.

도재 수복물 제작을 위해 자연치아의 색조를 분석하는 방법으로는 색견본 (shade guide)을 이용하는 시각적인 방법과 기계를 이용하는 방법이 있다. 그중 통상적인 육안 관찰을 통해 색조를 선택하는 것은 임상에서 가장 많이 이용되고 있는 방법이기는 하나 주관적이며 일관되지 않은 결과로 신뢰성의 문제가 제기되었으며 자연치의 색조는 매우 다양하여 같은 치아라 할지라도 부위별로 다양한 색조를 가지기 때문에 단순히 shade tab을 이용한 색조 비교만으로는 정확한 치아의 색조 특성을 나타내는 것이 불가능한 것으로 알려져 있다. 한편 지속적인 기술발달로 computer color matching system, 치과용 비색계, 분광 측정기 등의 기계를 이용한 치아 색조 측정 방법이 이의 대안으로 제시되고 있다. 기계를 이용한 방법은 색조 선택에 있어 객관적이며, 재현성이 있는 정확한 정보를 술자에게 제공한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 광원, 개인, 술자의 숙련도에 따라 육안과 기계를 통한 관찰 시 치아 색조 선택의 정확성을 확인하기 위한 실험을 시행하였다. 첫 번째 실험에서는 치과대학병원 전공의인 1명의 검사자가 10명의 피검자를 오전, 정오, 오후 각 3번의 측정을 통해 시간대별 자연광하에 육안, 기계 측정의 색조 선택 정확성을 분석하였다. 두 번째 실험에서는 5명의 치과대학병원 전공의와 5명의 치과대 학생, 총 10명의 검사자가 10명의 피검자를 정오에 육안, 기계 관찰을 통해 개인차에 따른 정확성을 실험하였다. 세 번째 실험에서는 두 번째 실험의 결과를 5명의 치과대학 전공의, 5명의 치과대학생 군으로 나누어 숙련도에 따른 육안, 기계 색조 선택의 정확성을 분석하였다. 실험 결과, 첫 번째 실험에서는 기계 측정 결과가 육안 측정보다 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이며 (P < .05) 색조 선택의 정확성을 나타내었고, 두 번째 실험에서 역시 기계 측정시 개개인의 육안 측정에 의한 색조 선택 값에 비해 재현성 및 정확성이 높았으며 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다 (P < .05). 세 번째 실험에서 이전 실험의 결과를 숙련자, 비숙련자 군으로 나누어 분석한 결과 군 내 기계 측정값이 육안 관찰값보다 숙련도에 상관없이 정확도가 높으며 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다 (P < .05). 하지만 군 간 육안, 기계 측정값을 비교 시 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않아 치아 색조를 육안, 기계 측정할 때 술자의 숙련도가 큰 영향을 미치지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 기계를 이용하는 치아 색조 측정 방법이 색견본을 이용하는 시각적인 방법에 비해 더 정확하기는 하지만 어느 정도의 측색 오류를 고려해야하며 수복물 제작 시 정확한 재현과 효과적인 정보 전달을 위해 시각적인 방법과의 병행이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

PURPOSE. This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of different shade selection techniques and determine the matching success of crown restorations fabricated using digital shade selection techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Teeth numbers 11 and 21 were prepared on a typodont model. For the #11 tooth, six different crowns were fabricated with randomly selected colors and set as the target crowns. The following four test groups were established: Group C, where the visual shade selection was performed using the Vita 3D Master Shade Guide and the group served as the control; Group Ph, where the shade selection was performed under the guidance of dental photography; Group S, where the shade selection was performed by measuring the target tooth color using a spectrophotometer; and Group I, where the shade selection was performed by scanning the test specimens and target crowns using an intraoral scanner. Based on the test groups, 24 crowns were fabricated using different shade selection techniques. The ΔE values were calculated according to the CIEDE2000 (2:1:1) formula. The collected data were analyzed by means of a one-way analysis of variance. RESULTS. For the four test groups (Groups C, Ph, S, and I), the following mean ΔE values were obtained: 2.74, 3.62, 2.13, and 3.5, respectively. No significant differences were found among the test groups. CONCLUSION. Although there was no statistically significant difference among the shade selection techniques, Group S had relatively lower ΔE values. Moreover, according to the test results, the spectrophotometer shade selection technique may provide more successful clinical results.

연구목적: 심미 수복을 위한 색상 결정 방법으로는 색견본 (shade guide)과 치아를 눈으로 직접 비교하는 기존의 비색법과 최근 소개되기 시작한 색상 측정용 기기를 사용하는 방법이 있다. 비색법은 치과의사들과 기공사들 간의 색조 선택에 일관성이 결여되어 있는 등 많은 문제점이 지적되고 있지만 아직도 이러한 방법에 의한 색상 결정과 결정 색상에 대한 표현 방식이 임상 치의학에 적용되고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 진료실과 기공소에서 사용하고 있는 색견본이 같은 값을 가지는지 ShadeEye - $NCC^{(R)}$ dental chroma meter (Shofu Inc., Kyoto, Japan)로 확인하고 또한 이 측정 기기의 두 가지 모드가 동일한 shade tab을 같은 값으로 인식하는지 확인하고자 하였다. 연구재료 및 방법: 첫 번째 실험에서는 모두 8개의 Vita Lumin Vacuum shade guide (Vident Inc., California, USA)를 모아 그 중 A1과 B1 shade tab을 각각 5회씩 색상 측정용 기기인 ShadeEye-$NCC^{(R)}$의 tooth mode와 porcelain mode로 나누어 색조 분석을 하였고 두 번째 실험에서는 치과 진료실과 기공소에서 실제 사용하고 있는 Vita Lumin Vacuum shade guide를 각각 12개씩 모아 역시 A1과 B1 shade tab을 색상 측정용 기기인 ShadeEye-$NCC^{(R)}$의 tooth mode와 porcelain mode로 나누어 색조 분석을 실시하였다. 결과: 첫 실험에서 8개의 색견본의 A1과 B1의 5회씩 측정에서 두 가지 mode에서 모두 채도 (shade), 명도 (value), 색상 (hue)에서 유의한 차이를 보였다(P<.05). 두 번째 실험에서는 진료실에서 사용하는 색견본과 기공소에서 사용하는 색견본 사이에는 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았으나, A1의 porcelain mode 에서 채도가 유의한 차이를 보여 (P<.05), 같은 shade tab이라 할지라도 채도에서 차이가 날 수 있음을 보였다. 결론: ShadeEye-$NCC^{(R)}$의 mode에 따라 동일한shade tab을 다른 값으로 인식하는 것으로 나타나 진료실과 기공소 간에 동일한 mode로 사용하는 것이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

The purpose of this article was to review the changes in translucency of direct esthetic restorative materials after curing, aging and treatment. As a criterion for the evaluation of clinical translucency changes, visual perceptibility threshold in translucency parameter difference (${\Delta}TP$) of 2 was used. Translucency changes after curing were perceivable depending on experimental methods and products (largest ${\Delta}TP$ in resin composites = 15.9). Translucency changes after aging were reported as either relatively stable or showed perceivable changes by aging protocols (largest ${\Delta}TP$ in resin composites = -3.8). Translucency changes after curing, aging and treatment were perceivable in several products and experimental methods. Therefore, shade matching of direct esthetic materials should be performed considering these instabilities of translucency in direct esthetic materials.
