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).
