Clinical comparison of different color selection methods with digital photographs using a button technique.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

We aimed to compare the intra- and interobserver agreements of postgraduate students in selecting tooth color using various conventional or digital tools.

Methods

Color selection was performed by four postgraduate students. Prior to the study, the students attended a lecture for calibration. Tooth color was assessed on the maxillary central incisors of 32 healthy patients. Visual color selection was performed using VITA Classical (VC) and VITA 3D (V3D) color scales. Digital color selection was performed using VITA Easyshade V and Canon D80 digital camera. The enamel (incisal) and dentin (cervical) from an anterior composite resin set were temporarily adhered to the facial surface of the incisor using the button technique. Digital photographs were captured and colo
