“…Educational level, along with training on shade matching, exhibits a significant role in shade matching accuracy. Earlier studies have indicated that to improve shade-matching performance, dental practitioners must be participated in practical courses, ongoing education strategies, and further teaching classes [42]. As far as the present study is concerned, a significant difference was evident between all shade tabs under correcting light among clinical and non-clinical students (p < 0.05) thereby proving clinical experience of students on color matching leads to enhancing the accuracy of shade selection.…”

Successful esthetic dentistry to meet patient satisfaction and produce a progressive impact on someone’s personality cannot be succeeded without proper shade selection, both for direct or indirect restoration of dentition. The accurate shade selection is one of the most interesting phases of restoring the natural look of teeth. In clinical practices, dental students should be aware of the various light sources used for shade selection. The purpose of this research is to compare the shade matching ability of clinical and non-clinical students under clinical and correcting light. This comparative cross-sectional study was instigated amongst clinical and non-clinical students of the dental complex of King Faisal University, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, after obtaining ethical approval from the Research Ethics Committee with reference number (KFU-REC-2022-MAR-EA000518). A total of 102 students assessed the shade under clinical (fluorescent light) and correcting light (handheld Dental Base Light) by using VITA Classical shade guides. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 23. The Chi-square test and t-test were used to evaluate the association between shade matching scores under correcting and clinical light. Out of 102 students, 41 (40.2%) were non-clinical and 61 (59.8%) were clinical, with a mean age of 21.66 ± 1.397 years. Shade matching scores were found significantly higher (p < 0.001) with the light-correcting device (2.29 ± 1.26) as compared to clinical light (1 ± 1.11) for non-clinical students. Similarly, clinical students also had significantly better (p < 0.001) shade matching with the light-correcting device (4.01 ± 1.34) in comparison to clinical light (2.47 ± 1.25). This study concluded that the shade matching scores under correcting light was significantly better than the results obtained by dental operatory light. Furthermore, it was also evidenced that clinical students’ skills in matching shades were significantly improved under a correcting light source as compared to non-clinical students.

“…This finding agrees with previous studies that suggested using the middle region of the tabs for shade matching. 34 This might be attributed to the relatively flat design of the tab in the middle region as opposed to the curved surfaces of the incisal and the cervical regions.…”

Objective: To determine if identical dental shade guides can be used interchangeably considering their precision.Materials and methods: Twenty Vita classical (VC) and Vita 3D-Master (VM) shade guides were subjected to spectrophotometric measurements and their CIELab values were measured in three shade tab regions: incisal, middle, and cervical and also in total. The mean L*, a*, and b* values for analogous shade tabs were calculated to identify CIELab values for typical shades. ΔE 00 color differences between a typical shade and its analogous shade tabs were measured. ΔE 00 values were compared with perceptibility (ΔE 00 = 0.8) and acceptability (ΔE 00 = 1.8) thresholds using one-sample t test (α = 0.05). An error was considered when the ΔE 00 value was greater than the threshold. Subsequently, the shade guides' precision scores were calculated.Results: Mean ΔE 00 values ranged between 0.3 and 0.5 for VC tabs and between 0.3 and 0.6 for VM tabs. Precision scores for both shade guides ranged from 83.3% to 100%, considering the perceptibility threshold. Regarding the acceptability threshold, precision scores for VC ranged from 93.3% to 100%, while the precision scores for VM were 100%.Conclusions: Owing to high precision of VC and VM, identical dental shade guides can be used interchangeably.Clinical Significance: Using identical dental shade guides interchangeably may affect the color results of restorative treatments. This study identified high levels of precision for identical shade tabs of Vita classical and Vita 3D-Master across different batches. Thus, similar dental shade guides can be used interchangeably.
