3D Master Toothguide according to L*, C*, and h* coordinates
) of between 2.6 and 5.5 units was found in 9.54% (31 pairs). In 291 pairs (89.54%) there was color difference that exceeded the 5.5 units. Only 0.92% of the color differences () were less than 2.6 units. The minimum color difference (
) found was 2.1 units and the maximum 45.0 units. The intervals in lightness, chroma, and hue groups between adjacent shade tabs were not uniform. In conclusion, this toothguide is clearly ordered regarding lightness or the L* coordinate. Most of the color differences between the 26 shade tabs of the 3D Master exceed the perceptible threshold of 2.6 units. Some clinical implications are as follows: the 26 shade tabs of the 3D Master Toothguide offer improvements as far as spatial arrangement is concerned. Thus, it is highly possible that the subjective visual color of the measurement would be correct. If there is a mistake when choosing the shade tab from the 3D Master guide there will quite probably be an unacceptable color difference from the clinical point of view. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
