STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: The variability in color measurements between different dental devices complicates the accurate selection of tooth shades, which is crucial for esthetic dental restorations. Understanding the correlations between different devices can provide equations for inter-conversion, facilitating more consistent shade selection. PURPOSE: The purpose of this clinical study was to evaluate and compare the colorimetric values measured from human teeth using colorimetric devices of the spot measurement type, including a conventional spectrophotometer, an intraoral spectrophotometer, and an intraoral colorimeter, and to develop inter-conversion equations based on device correlations. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Forty healthy, non-smoking ethnic Korean volunteers aged 25 to 36 years with no anterior restorations or abnormal dental conditions were enrolled. Color measurement was made using a CM-700d spectrophotometer (Konica Minolta) (CM), Vita Easyshade intraoral spectrophotometer (Vita Zahnfabrik) (ES), and ShadeEye NCC colorimeter (Shofu) (SE) under controlled lighting conditions on maxillary central incisors using a transparent ethylene-vinyl acetate tooth guide with holes to ensure precise probe placement. ΔE RESULTS: Mean L* values for CM, ES, and SE in the maxillary central incisors were 66.1, 81.4, and 72.8, respectively. The mean a* values were 0.7, -0.9, and -0.4, while the mean b* values were 10.1, 16.3, and 12.3, respectively. The largest color discrepancies were observed between CM and ES. The r CONCLUSIONS: The findings suggest that values can be converted between different devices and compared against standard references measured by each device. This will help in understanding changes in tooth color measured on one device in terms of another.
