Identificación del sistema más preciso en la toma de color para restauraciones indirectas en el sector anterior.

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: One of the bases of aesthetic dentistry is the adequate selection of color; this complex process is mediated by various factors that the clinician must know and be able to manage. interpret. Today there are two techniques for color selection: one is the subjective technique and the other is the objective technique. OBJECTIVE: to identify the most accurate system for shade taking for indirect restorations in the anterior sector. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cross-sectional, mixed, analytical-observational study, taken as a sample of 31 patients and 31 operators (students) of the UCSG of the last two years of the dental career. Each of the 31 operators underwent color blindness tests with the Ishihara test. The data collection was dissolved in a table where it was specified which tooth would be restored, the color system to be used, whether subjective or objective, light source, and anatomical area from which the dental color was selected. RESULTS: we worked with a sample of 12 men (39%), 9 women (61%); 3% had vision alterations, those who performed chromatic mapping agreed in 43%. CONCLUSION: it can be concluded that the objective method, by working with three-dimensional color coordinates, with polarized filters and avoiding factors such as the observer's eye and the type of light that influences color acquisition, becomes the most accurate method. to select the tooth color in indirect restorations of the anterior sector.
