Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the accuracy mobile digital shade matching application and its comparison with spectrophotometer system for all ceramic and metal ceramic restoration.

Methods: This study was conducted on 10 subjects. Patients visiting the outpatient department has been selected for the study. Samples has been divided into 3 groups: Group I: (Control group) Visual Shade Guide, Group II: (Test group) Mobile Digital Shade Matching Application, Group III: Spectrophotometer

Results: Visual shade method observed highest ΔE value. ΔE value was lowest for All-ceramic crowns recorded by spectrophotometer and lowest ΔE value for mobile digital application for Metal-ceramic crowns. Equal clinical acceptance for crowns fabricated by mobile application and spectrophotometer. However, lowest clinical acceptance for visual shade method.

Conclusion: Mobile digital application may be the emerging method for shade selection, but further studies required to define its role in shade selection.
