研究目的
To evaluate the repeatability, interexaminer, and interdevice reliability of two spectrophotometers (Vita Easyshade Advance 4.0 and Easyshade V) under laboratory and clinical conditions, and to compare their accuracy in tooth color determination.
研究成果
Both Easyshade devices (ES-A and ES-V) demonstrated high reliability and accuracy in tooth color measurements under laboratory and clinical conditions, with excellent repeatability and good interrater and interdevice agreement. Visual ratings by independent observers showed good concordance, supporting their clinical use for shade determination.
研究不足
The study used shade tabs with optical properties different from natural teeth, which may limit generalization. Only two operators performed visual ratings, potentially limiting accuracy assessment. External light was not controlled, though it may not affect measurements. The in vitro design may not fully replicate clinical conditions.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study used a comparative design to assess reliability and accuracy of two spectrophotometers in vitro and in vivo. Measurements were based on CIE L*a*b* color coordinates.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
In vitro part used 3D-Master shade tabs (Vita Zahnfabrik); clinical part involved 15 participants with natural unrestored teeth.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Spectrophotometers (Vita Easyshade Advance
4:0 and Easyshade V), shade tabs, positioning jig (Luxtemp A3), impression material (Compact Putty), alginate material (Image), gypsum (Fujirock Polar White), splint material (Erkoflex), prophy paste (Zircate Prophy Paste), daylight lamp (Dialite Color). Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
For repeatability, one operator measured a shade tab 50 times with each device. For interrater and interdevice agreement, two operators performed 10 measurements on five shade tabs with both devices. Clinically, measurements were taken on participants' teeth using a splint for positioning, with calibration before each use. Visual ratings of shade matches were conducted.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Statistical analysis used SPSS 19.0; repeatability assessed by maximum differences in color coordinates; reliability assessed by intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC); accuracy evaluated through descriptive statistics and t-tests for ratings.
