ΔL*, Δa*, Δb* represents the differences between the CIE L*a*b* color<br />

parameter of 2 samples.<br />

In Table 1 is presented the clinical color matching between dental<br />

structure and dental restorations, according to ΔE* values.<br />

The color perception is sometimes a source of disagreement among the<br />

dentists, technicians and patients.<br />

There are different methods for color measurements: visual comparison<br />

using color standards such as Munsell color chips,color measurements made by<br />

using spectrophotometric or colorimetric methods [2].<br />

Spectrophotometric measurements, done with spectrophotometers that<br />

measure the amount of light reflected at each wavelength, are used to evaluate<br />

the color parameters for porcelains, restorative resins, denture teeth, shade<br />

guides, and color modifications in dental materials. A double-beam<br />

spectrophotometer compares the responses from the object with a reference<br />

standard. From the spectral response can be calculated the color parameters for<br />

the object.<br />

Colorimetric measurements are done with colorimeters that measure the<br />

amount of light reflected at selected colors (eg. red, green, blue).
