Analysis of vita shade guide with spectrophotometer under different color measurement conditions / 第二军医大学学报

ABSTRACT

Objective To compare the accuracy of spectrophotometer under different color measurement conditions, so as to provide evidence for clinical color measurement. Methods Spectrophotometer was used to obtain the chromatic value L*, a* and b*(L*Lightness; a*Saturation on the red and green axile; b*Saturation on the yellow and blue axile) of all color pieces in the medium 1/3 of vita classical shade guide under the natural light, incandescent lamp and dark room; the values of chromatism were calculated under different color measurement conditions, and the results were fed to statistical software for analysis. Results The L*, a* and b* values were not significantly different under natural light, incandescent lamp and dark room. The composition ratios of ΔE <1.5 NBS for the natural light and incandescent light, natural light and dark room, incandescent lamp and dark room were 87.50%, 100%, and 93.75%, respectively. Conclusion The measurement accuracy of CM-700d spectrophotometer is high and the environment light has slight effe0ct on the accuracy. The chromatism values of shade guide measured in the dark room is the most true ones, so dark room is recommended for CM-700d spectrophotomete.
