Abstract

Accurate shade selection is critical in restorative dentistry to achieve natural-looking restorations. However, lighting variations in dental clinics can impact shade matching, potentially leading to mismatches that compromise aesthetics and treatment outcomes. This review examines the effects of different light sources, including natural light, LED, and halogen lighting, on color perception during shade selection. The significance of light frequency, color temperature, and the Color Rendering Index (CRI) in establishing ideal conditions for shade matching is discussed, along with methods for measuring and standardizing light intensity. Additionally, techniques such as light filters, neutral backgrounds, and light-correcting devices are explored as solutions to mitigate color distortion and enhance accuracy. By implementing controlled, daylight-mimicking lighting setups, dental professionals can achieve more reliable shade matching, ultimately improving patient satisfaction and care quality.
