| Research Abstract |
The authors developed a computer imaging system that utilizes a digital still camera, and investigated its usefulness in color matching and color communication in clinical dentistry. The following results were obtained :
1.Tooth form and color before and afterr the setting of a prosthesis were simulated through image synthesis. These images were of excellent quality and could be prepared within a short period of time. Furthermore, the digital-image method proved useful in communicating color and form among the patient, dentist and dental technician.
2.When color matching was performed using computer-generated images, a correct color was selected 85% of the time. On the other hand, when color matching was done visually, a correct color was selected only 71% of the time, a significantly lower rate (p<0.05).
3.Also, when color matching was performed by computer, a correct color was selected 94% of the time, a significantly higher rate than that obtained through the conventional visual color matching method (p<0.01).
4.By utilizing a digital comera as a hypothitecal colorimeter, the L^<**>a^<**>b^<**> of selected areas could be calculated.
This enabled the positional relationahip between the color of selected areas and each shade to be visualized. We found this information to be useful not only in making prostheses, but also in reevaluating them.
