Abstract:Objectives: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the precision of two dental spectrophotometers in evaluating the color parameters of ceramic materials and to assess the accuracy of a dental spectrophotometer (Shade Pilot, Degudent) for analyzing color parameters of lithium-disilicate ceramic materials. Methods: The CIE L*a*b* color parameters, chroma and hue angle of 6 groups of lithium-disilicate ceramic ingots were recorded: MO0, HO0, LTA1, HTA1, LTBL1, HTBL. The measurements were performed in a vie… Show more
