Factors Affecting The Visual Tooth Shade Selection: A Review
Abstract
Different methods can be used in tooth shade selection: visual shade selection with tooth shade guides and shade selection with digital devices. Human eyes are very sensitive to even the smallest difference between colors; but color perception is subjective in shade selection using tooth shade guides. Various factors, such as the physician's age, gender, experience, physical mood, position of the patient's head, ambient conditions, and the light source, can affect the visual shade selection results. In this review, the factors affecting the visual tooth shade selection with tooth shade guides are explained. Due to the subjectivity of color perception, the complexity of the shade selection procedure and the problems that may occur with digital color measuring devices; it is recommended to use digital and visual shade selection methods together in dentistry.
