COLOR DEFINITION:
“Color is light, modified by an object as
perceived by an eye”.

5. The success of dental treatments as perceived by our
patients is often evaluated on appearance, rather than
long-term health, function and comfort. Everyone, it
seems, is primarily interested in color.
Patients who elect to have improvements in their
teeth image may demand their own version of the
“best” color. The clinician’s under-standing of this
problem contributes to a higher success level in
satisfying his/her patients’ needs.

6. Understanding of the nature of light and how the eye
perceives and the brain interprets light as color is
important for successful esthetic restorations,
particularly when metal ceramic or all- ceramic
restorations are being made.
Errors in shade matching can be a problem in these
procedures and are a source of frustration for the
dentist and technician and a source of dissatisfaction
for the patient.

7. A need to overcome subjectivity, as the major
disadvantage of the visual shade matching method,
induced the evolution of color science.
Color science is multidisciplinary and it
encompasses elements of physics, chemistry,
physiology and psychology.
In order to understand the science of color, one
should be aware of some physical aspects of light, as
well as of both physiological and psychological
processes that enable color perception.

8. LIGHT AND COLOR:
Without light, color does not exist. An object that we
perceive as a certain color absorbs all light waves
corresponding with other colors and reflects only those
waves that we interpret as that objects color.
For example, an object that absorbs blue and green
light reflects red appears red.
The apparent color of an object is influenced by its
physical properties, nature of the incident light to which
the object is exposed, the relationship to other colored
objects, and the subjective assessment of the observer.

9. DESCRIPTION OF LIGHT:
Scientifically, light is described as visible electro
magnetic energy whose wave length is measured in
nanometers or billionth of a meter.
The eye is sensitive only to the visible part of the
electromagnetic spectrum, a narrow band with wave
lengths of 380 – 750 nm.
At the shorter wave lengths lie ultra violet, X &
gamma rays, at the longer wave lengths are the infra
radiation, microwaves, television & radio transmission.

10. White light can be separated into
monochromatic components if it passes through
prism or diffraction bars. If the wavelength of the
electromagnetic radiation is less than 380 nm, it is
called ultraviolet radiation and if it exceeds 780
nm, it is called infrared radiation.

14. DESCRIPTION OF COLOR:
Munsell Color Order System :
The most popular method for describing color is the
Munsell system. Despite certain disadvantages, the
Munsell system has been widely used in the dental
literature.
The three attributes of color in this system are called
Hue, Value and Chroma.
