    Abstract: A digital camera connects to a tooth shade analyzer subsystem, e.g., a digital video processor, and a color display monitor for the electronic determination of the color of patient's teeth. Preliminarily, the camera captures series of digital color images of tooth shades corresponding to reference shade guides, and electronically compares the reference shades to an image of the patient's tooth. In a preferred embodiment the comparison is done over a set of pseudo-pixels, each corresponding to a group of pixels in an high-resolution camera. Once a match is found, it is communicated to a user of the system. In a specific embodiment the camera is equipped with a sleeve and illumination subsystems that help reduce the variations in the color of digital images due to external factors.

    Abstract: A lighting device (2) is provided. The lighting device (2) includes a housing (4,6,10,12,14,16) having at least one light emitting diode (LED) (32,34) for illuminating a suitable area and a viewing aperture for allow a user to view said suitable area using said device. The light emitted from the LED being arranged at approximately 45 degrees relative to the viewing aperture (18). The LED is configured to emit light approximating to a noon-day light spectrum.

    Abstract: In a method, computer program, and system a dental target, such as a tooth, is located within a digital dental image. A reference object that was placed in the patient's mouth is segmented within a digital dental image to provide a segmented reference. The reference object has a predetermined size dimension. A window is segmented in the dental image at the position of the dental target. The segmented reference defines the relative size and location of the window, prior to the segmenting of the window.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for the automatic determination of the shade of an object (10), comprising a light source, a light sensor, arranged such as to sample the light reflected or passed through the object (20, 30, 40) in a region of the object, and further comprising means for the determination of the wavelength of said light after reflection or passing through the object, said means providing a spectrometric recording corresponding to the sampling region. The above is characterised in that the means for analysis are provided to analyse a number of such spectrometric samples corresponding to different regions (20, 30, 40) of the object (10) and to identify an average spectrometric value from said set of spectrometric samples.

    Abstract: The invention concerns a dental colorimetry measuring apparatus comprising: a white light source, means for projecting the light flux emitted on a tooth to be measured, means for collecting the flux diffused by the tooth, means for spectral selection of the diffused flux, means for measuring spectrally selected light fluxes, means for processing the result of said measurements for classifying the measured tooth relative to a dental shade guide. The apparatus comprises a transceiver set and a measuring head urged into contact with the tooth to be measured, the measuring head being connected to the transceiver set through a fiber optic bundle. The measuring head includes an electric switch triggered by pressing the head on the tooth and controls measurement.
