ADVANTAGES OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY IN THE USE OF THE DENTAL COLOR COMPARATOR (DENTAL COLORIMETER) IN MODERN DENTISTRY AND ITS APPLICATION IN DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT.

Abstract

In modern dentistry, devices that measure tooth color — such as the Dental Color Comparator and spectrophotometers — play a significant role in clinical practice. Digital optical technologies reduce the subjectivity inherent in traditional visual assessments, increase the accuracy of shade selection, and improve the quality of aesthetic treatments. Recent advancements, including artificial intelligence, CAD/CAM integration, digital monitoring, and biomimetic approaches, expand the capabilities of tooth color measurement devices. These devices are essential diagnostic tools that enhance both aesthetics and clinical efficiency.
