Objectives: The aim of this study was to verify the match between 5 shades of composites from different manufacturers with a shade guide and among the systems using a portable spectrophotometer.
Materials And Methods: Shade measurements were performed on specimens of Z350 XT (3M ESPE), Charisma Diamond (Heraeus Kulzer GmbH), Esthet X-HD (Dentsply Caulk), and Empress Direct (Ivoclar-Vivadent) for shades A1, A2, A3, B1, and C3 using a Vita Easyshade spectrophotometer (Vita Zahnfabrik) against a white background. Corresponding shades of Vitapan Classical (Vita Zahnfabrik) guide were measured likewise and shade variation (ΔE) was calculated based on International Commission on Illumination L*a*b* parameters. The ΔE of the composites in each shade was compared by one-way analysis of variance and Tukey's test (α = 0.05).
Results: All composites presented ΔE > 3.7 compared with the shade guide. Variation in shades A3, B1, and C3 was significantly different for all composites. ΔE of Z350 XT was significantly lower for A1 than for the other shades, whereas ΔE of Z350 XT and Charisma Diamond were significantly lower for A2 than for the other shades.
Conclusions: No composite shade matched with the shade guide. Equivalent shades of the restorative composite from different manufacturers may show clinically noticeable ΔE.

Objectives: The study aimed to assess the percent correct shade identification of four intraoral scanners (IOS) and a spectrophotometer, focusing on how reliably each device selects the correct tooth shade compared to a visual observer's selection. The research question addresses how much clinicians can trust the device-selected shade without visual verification.
Materials And Methods: Sixteen participants with natural, unrestored teeth were included.

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of two non vital whitening techniques, In-office and Walking Bleach, using 35% hydrogen peroxide. The primary research question was to determine which technique achieves greater tooth color improvement.
Materials And Methods: Fifty non-vital anterior teeth with discoloration were randomly assigned to either the In-office (n = 25) or Walking Bleach (n = 25) groups.

Objectives: Recently, dental esthetics have increasingly emphasized appearance, with tooth shade selection complicated by the enamel and dentin's translucency and opacity. Smartphone cameras are useful for shade matching. Currently, no study has directly compared the accuracy of this method.

Objective: To provide guidelines and means for optimal coverage and distribution of computer models with 1-10 clusters, designed based on an in vivo extensive dental colorimetric database and compare the findings with some reputable shade guides.
Materials And Methods: The Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) algorithm was used to optimize the tab position in the CIELAB color space, while MATLAB Fuzzy Logic was used to implement the codes. A minimization process was performed to fine-tune the cluster centers, minimizing Coverage Error (CE) and Maximum Error (ME).

: Despite the increasing use of chromatic intraoral scanners, color determination is often performed visually, offering poor reliability and validity. In this study, we aimed to compare the reliability and validity of the tooth shade determination tool of an intraoral scanner (Trios3 Color) with that of two dental spectrophotometers (VITA Easyshade Advance 4.0 and SpectroShade Micro) and with visual determination using the VITA 3D-Master shade guide.
