Color perception is influenced by multiple factors such as incident light, reflection, absorption, observer variability, and environmental conditions. The evolution of shade-matching tools now includes digital and artificial intelligence (Al)-assisted appliances aimed at improving accuracy and ease of use.\u003Cbr>Objective: This study aims to compare and evaluate the efficacy of AI-assisted appliances, namely, smartphone cameras, digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) cameras, and intraoral scanners in selecting tooth shades in clinical practice.\u003Cbr>Methods: This observational study conducted at the Department of Prosthodontics and Crown & Bridge aims to evaluate shade selection methods in 221 participants recruited from the outpatient department based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria, including age, oral health status, and informed consent. Three devices will be used for shade selection: a smartphone camera (iPhone 12, iOS 12.5.2) for quick, noninvasive, and accessible image capture; a DSLR camera (Canon EOS 200D) to obtain high-resolution images under standardized lighting for enhanced color accuracy; and an intraoral scanner (CEREC Primescan, Dentsply Sirona) offering precise 3D mapping and digital shade analysis. This multidevice approach allows for a comparative evaluation of conventional and advanced digital tools in clinical shade matching. The primary objective is to assess the effectiveness of commonly available digital teeth in accurately selecting tooth shades. Our study anticipates the following outcomes: validation of smartphone cameras as simple, economical, and efficient tools for basic shade matching; demonstration of DSLR cameras’superiority in resolution and lighting control for improved accuracy; and confirmation of intraoral scanners as precise, customizable devices that offer a high level of digital integration. Statistical analyses will include sensitivity, specificity, and subgroup evaluationsto compare the performance of each device. The findings are expected to show that both DSLR and smartphone cameras can match the effectiveness of intraoral scanners, offering viable alternatives for clinical use.\u003Cbr>Results: This study was intramurally funded in December 2024. Data collection is scheduled to commence following the publication of this study protocol. As of submission, no participants have been recruited, and data analysis is yet to begin. Results are expected to be completed and published in early January 2026.\u003Cbr>Conclusions: This study aims to establish a standard protocol for the use ofAl-assisted, easily accessible tools such as smartphones and DSLRs for dental shade selection. These devices, being user-friendly and nontechnical, could democratize the process of shade matching, benefiting both clinicians and patients by improving restoration outcomes while reducing costs and complexity. Our results will contribute to the growing body of digital dentistry literature and support the integration of practical Al tools in everyday clinica","cbCaiekXAjNkqfPu","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiekXAjNkqfPu","pdf",211934,"English","# Abstract\n## Background\n## Objective\n## Methods\n## Results\n## Conclusions\n# Introduction\n## Shade-matching methods\n## AI-based objective tools","[{\"question\":\"What is the primary objective of this observational study protocol?\",\"answer\":\"To compare and evaluate how effective AI-assisted appliances—smartphone cameras, DSLR cameras, and intraoral scanners—are for selecting tooth shades in clinical practice.\"},{\"question\":\"Which devices will be used for tooth shade selection and why?\",\"answer\":\"A smartphone camera for quick, noninvasive capture; a DSLR camera for high-resolution imaging under standardized lighting; and an intraoral scanner for precise 3D mapping and digital shade analysis.\"},{\"question\":\"How will the study evaluate and compare device performance?\",\"answer\":\"The protocol plans statistical analyses including sensitivity, specificity, and subgroup evaluations to compare performance across the devices.\"}]","Efficacy of Artificial Intelligence–Assisted Appliances in the Selection of Tooth Shade - Protocol for an Observational Study | PDF",1790714440,18]
