Color
color is a visual response to light consisting of the three dimensions of __

value
chroma
3 variables to color
Receptor (eye)
Object
Light source
Munsell color space
1940’s revised Munsell system by:
International Commission of Illumination (CIE)
American Society for testing and materials
Is an internationally accepted standard of art, science and industry
Munsell color space
band of colors produced when sunlight is passed through a prism
Spectrum
Primary additive colors
Blue
Red
Green
Secondary Additive Colors
Cyan
Magenta
Yellow
If the three primary colors are combined with equal intensities, __ is created
white light
Look at the spectral reflection of different wavelengths
PIC in slides
A number from 1 to 100 given to a light source to indicate it relative equivalence to pure white light, which has a color rendering index of 100. The closer the number is to 100, the more it resembles pure white light
Color rendering index
A light source with at least __ CRI is recommended for an accurate shade selection
93.42
Basic color
distinguish one family of color from another- as red, green, blue
Hue
What possesses no hue
Black, white and grays
The color itself
Hue
Stains can be used to change the __ of porcelain color
Hue
The purity of a color
intensity
saturation
Chroma
The intensity of a color
Chroma
High __ = highly saturated
Low __ = weak
Chroma
Distinguished from a dark color
Blackness or whiteness
Value
THe brightness of a color
Value
High value =
Low value =
Brighter
Darker
__ is the most important color variable in dental shade selection
Brightness
__ is the most important aspect in shade selection
Value
If a complementary color issued to modify a color, its __ will decrease
value
Color perception
Color may appear different if:
light source
size and contours
background color and lightening
perception angle
Receptors in the human eye
Rods and cones
Convey shades of gray (value)
Rods (human eye)
Allow brain to perceive hue and chroma
Cones (Human eye)
Everything we see is __ light
reflected
(Color wont be able to see if light cannot be reflected)
Full spectrum is required to see __
real color
Recommended illumination for accurate shade selection in dentistry
5500 degrees K
CRI about 93.42
Working distance 12-15 inches (arms length)
Appropriate environment (neutral color operatory)
A phenomenon where teeth appear to be the same color under one type of light, but they appear different under another light source
Metamerism
Multiple __ is recommended for shade selection, this way an ideal CRI is obtained (sunlight should be one of them)
light sources
Staining of the porcelain will increase __
metameric responses
Illumination aid
Rite lite 2 (look at slide)
Vita Easyshade Advance (look at slide)
the light effect of a translucent material appearing blue in reflected light and red-orange in transmitted light
Opalescence
The optical property by which a material reflects ultraviolet radiation
Fluorescence
the property of a material that absorbs and or reflects all light and prevents any transmission of light
Opaque
Having the appearance between complete opacity and complete transparency; partially opaque
Translucency
What are the 4 shade guides
Vita classical
Vita 3D Master
Chromascop
Natural Die Material
(LOOK AT SLIDE)
Shade guide to identify the shade of the perp supporting the future restoration
Stump shade guide
essential when working with translucid materials
Stump shade guide
Lab technicians are able to modify restorations shade to mask the underlying preps shade
ALWAYS use this guide when working on esthetic cases
Stump shade guide
