Popis: Background/purpose: The simulated color of restorations plays an important role in improving patient satisfaction. The aim of this study was to test a new intelligent colorimetric solution using the Advanced Reflectionless Technology (ART) monitor and compare them using commercially available shade systems. Materials and methods: Six participants' right maxillary central incisors were tested with three devices, including the AUO Display Plus (Group A), a Canon single-lens reflex camera with eLAB's polar eyes filter (Group E), and the VITA Easyshade V (Group V). Each porcelain tooth was divided into three areas, and was assigned a CIELAB L∗a∗b∗ value by using the VITA Easyshade V. The original data were compared with the CIELAB L∗a∗b∗ obtained using the VITA Easyshade V. A prosthodontist compared the color of the porcelain veneers by eyes and gave the scores from 1 to 3. Results: For the ΔE, the three areas of Group A had the smallest differences between the color of the fabricated teeth and that of the original teeth. Colorimetric analysis indicated that Groups A and V did not differ much in the color of the three areas of the tooth. Groups E and A exhibited significant differences between the cervical third and middle third of the tooth, and Groups E and V exhibited significant differences between the middle third and incisal third of the tooth. Conclusion: Compared with traditional monitors, ART is closer to real images in terms of color, contrast, and detail grayscale. Technicians are able to produce realistic and pleasing colors.
