Description
Pushpal Ingle and Srinidhi compare two ways to match tooth shades for dental work, in a 2024 trial. A crown or filling must match the natural tooth color, and dentists often pick the shade by eye with a guide. Light can shift what the eye sees. The trial tested a color-corrected lamp against a phone app, DentHue, used in natural light. One hundred subjects took part in the double-blind study.
Each tooth shade was checked by the plain guide, by the lamp method, and by the app. The lamp method got the shade right in sixty-nine percent of cases. The app managed only thirty-eight percent. The gap was statistically firm. The authors conclude that color-corrected light with the standard guide beats the app pairing. They suggest clinics favor the lamp for shade work that must look natural.
