3、r the teeth are derived from the native RGB signals generated by a digitalstill camera, DSC, by broadband measurement of the reflectance of teeth. The illumination angle is 45degrees and CIELAB colorimetric coordinates are computed using equations contained in PracticeE 308. This test method, E 2466
4、, specifies the procedure used for the measurement of tooth colorin-vivo and in-vitro with illumination at 45 degrees relative to the sample plane which is also thenormal of the mouth, under an approximate equal energy spectrum. This test method is appropriate foranterior and posterior teeth.1. Scop

All other non-relevantparts, such as gums, spaces, etc., must be separated from themeasurement and the analysis.All localized discoloration; suchas stains, inclusions, etc., may
7、be separated from the measure-ment and the analysis.1.3 The broadband reflectance factors of teeth are measured.The colorimetric measurement is performed with a digital stillcamera while using an illuminator(s) that provides controlledillumination on the teeth. The measured data from a digitalimage

Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method describes the procedures for broadbandreflectance measurement of teeth, in-vivo and in-vitro. Thestandardization of the instrumentation used to measure asubjects teeth
25、is defined. The basis for the selection ofspecimens and the measurement protocol given. The data fromthe reflectance measurements are converted to colorimetricvalues. The results are reported in terms of CIE tristimulusvalues, other colorimetric coordinate system values, and colo-rimetric indices.5.
26、 Significance and Use5.1 The light reflected from the facial anterior teeth can beused to calculate color coordinates. Monitored over time,changes in color can be observed. These data reveal informa-tion about the efficacy of a product, treatment study, orepidemiology of tooth color. For example, cl
27、inical studies ofconsumer tooth whitening systems evaluate the efficacy ofmanufacturers products.5.2 The change in color of the facial surfaces of anteriorteeth can be used to optimize the efficacy of tooth whiteningsystems. For example, the data can provide the answer thequestion: “What is the opti
28、mum percentage of whitening agentin a consumer tooth whitening system?”5.3 This procedure is suitable for use in research anddevelopment, marketing studies, comparative product analy-ses, and clinical trials.5.4 Prior research shows that a popular visual assessmentmethod of determining tooth color,
29、changes in tooth color, andwhiteness among clinicians yields less than desirable results(1-4). These assessment tools are designated “shade guides.”They consist of tooth-shaped, synthetic objects in the form ofteeth all of slightly different colors or different shades from oneanother. A “shade” is g
30、enerally regarded as a color slightlydifferent from a reference color (on a comparative basis). Thecolors of the synthetic teeth in these “shade guides” do notprogress linearly as observed visually or logically in a CIEcolorimetric coordinate system,5and they are metameric to realteeth.5.5 Transluce
31、ncyHuman teeth are translucent and thedegree of translucency varies widely between subjects. How-ever, translucency does not vary over the short term and is nottherefore a consideration in this test method.6.

In some cases these effects may only be observedduring the performance
34、of the test.6.2 Factors Effecting Test ResultsThe following factorsare known to affect the test results.6.2.1 Environmental:6.2.1.1 Extraneous RadiationExtraneous light from othersources and near-infrared (NIR) radiations must be shieldedfrom the test apparatus.6.2.1.2 VibrationsMechanical oscillati
35、ons that causecomponents of the apparatus to move independently from oneanother may cause errors in test results.6.2.1.3 Thermal ChangesTemperature changes occurringduring a test or differences in temperature between testinglocations may affect the reflectance factor of the standardiza-tion, calibra
36、tion, and verification plaques, and the apparatusspectral response function.6.2.1.4 Power Input FluctuationsLarge changes in theline frequency or supply voltage may cause the apparatus toreport erroneous results.6.2.2 RetractorsThe surface finish of the retractors affectsthe experimental test result
37、s. It has been determined that aneutral (clear) finish on the surface of the retractors mayintroduce a bias into the test results.6.3 StandardizationThe system must allow for successfulstandardization.6.4 Equipment OperationIf the system cannot be stan-dardized, a series of checks must be performed
38、(lighting,camera, etc.) to identify the reason. The component of thesystem in error will be adjusted or replaced to bring the systemback into calibration.6.5 Controlling Factors:6.5.1 These interferences may be eliminated and problemsavoided by controlling and regulating each factor within theconstr
39、aints of the allowable experimental error. The values andlimits for these factors are typically determined experimentally.7. Apparatus7.1 GeneralThe components described in this section aredescribed generically. The intention is not to exclude anycomponent from being used, or to exclude any type ofi
40、nstrument that may be available commercially. Between 4 and6 different components or component assemblies are requiredto accomplish the measurement.7.2 GeometryThe geometry of the system is 45:0 asdescribed in Practice E 1767 and Guide E 179. The DSCSystem Geometry (Coordinate System) and Angular Co
41、nven-tion are shown in Fig. A1.1.7.3 ComponentsA block diagram of these componentassemblies is shown diagrammatically in Fig. A1.2.7.3.1 Source Illumination AssemblyContains the sourceof illumination and associated optics to produce irradiance, E,on the sample over a specified spot area, designated
42、A. Thesource is broadband and continuous in nature. A diagrammaticrepresentation of the components of a typical Source Illumi-nation Assembly Unit is shown in Fig. A1.3.7.3.2 Source Beam(s)A collimated or slightly convergingbeam(s) focused on the sample plane. Since the shape andposition of the spec
43、imens being measured vary widely, a smallconvergence angle minimizes local variations in intensity. Twobeams located at 45 relative to the normal of the sample planeare required to examine posterior teeth (on each side of themouth) and to achieve the uniformity requirements.7.3.3 PositionTypically t
44、he Source Illumination Assem-blies are in a fixed position relative to the sample (Subject)holder and the DSC. Therefore, small variations in u areminimized. The angle u is the subtended angle between theSource Illumination Assembly Units and the DSC. Refer toFig. A1.1.7.3.4 Source Optical ElementsT
45、he optical elements mustcondition the radiation from the source so that it is spatiallyuniform within 610 %. The distance, d, from the DSC to thesample plane must be selected to maintain the uniformityrequirements. Refer to Fig. A1.6.7.3.5 Spectral Power DistributionThe exact spectral na-ture of the
46、 illuminator is immaterial for the measurement ofteeth and non-fluorescent specimens so long as the source isstable with time and has adequate energy at all wavelengths inthe region required for measurement.An approximation to D50provides an equal energy spectrum over the area of interest forDSCs. C
47、ommonly used light sources include incandescentlamps, either operated without filters or filtered to simulatestandard illuminants, flashed or continuous-wave xenon-arclamps and discrete pseudo-monochromatic sources, such aslight emitting diodes (LEDs).7.3.6 PolarizationThe linear polarizer provides
48、and con-trols the polarization state of the incident light. This polarizeron the illuminators plus a cross polarizer filter on the lenssystem of the DSC eliminates glare caused by reflection of thesubjects teeth during imaging. Wavelength range, extinctionratio, transmittance, and beam deviation are
49、 important param-eters and must be selected.7.3.7 Heat Rejection FiltersThese filters remove undes-ired near-infrared (NIR) radiation including heat that adverselyaffects the subject and provide spectral shaping of the spectralpower distribution of the source illumination.7.3.8 Selective Blue FiltersThese filters condition thespectral power distribution of the illumination so that thespectral power distribution is similar to an approximate equalenergy spectrum, such as illuminant D50.7.4 Sample Plane HolderThe sample plane holder pro-vides a
