Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of oral restoration, and particularly to a method and system for optimizing the color aesthetics of chairside digital oral restoration materials. Background Art

[0002] To achieve aesthetic restoration of color using chairside digital oral restoration materials mainly includes two aspects, namely color acquisition and color reproduction. Clinically, oral restoration physicians first obtain the color information of the target tooth by color matching and transmit the information to the restoration technician. Subsequently, the restoration technician selects chairside digital oral restoration materials consistent with the color information of the target tooth, fabricates a restoration, and hands it over to the clinician to complete the insertion of the restoration.

[0003] In terms of color matching, current clinical color matching methods mostly use color comparison boards for visual color matching. The color matching process is as follows: under suitable lighting conditions, the physician selects a suitable color comparison board, asks the patient to open their mouth slightly, places the color comparison piece on the same plane as the target tooth and with the incisal edges facing each other, and the physician's line of sight is perpendicular to the tooth surface. When color matching, the color closest to the target tooth is selected in sequence according to the type of color comparison board. However, due to the difficulty in ensuring the color matching light source, the colors of oral color comparison boards can vary depending on the type, brand, production time, disinfection technology, and storage conditions of the color comparison board. The color matching process is easily affected by individual factors of the clinician (such as age, physical condition, experience, and training), resulting in insufficient accuracy of visual color matching using color comparison boards.

[0004] In terms of color reproduction, there are still cases where the color of the restoration deviates from the color matching result in clinical practice. Research shows that there are significant differences in the colors of different chairside digital oral restoration materials with the same color number, and there can be significant color inconsistencies between materials. The minimum color difference can still be perceived and is not acceptable clinically. Moreover, the color of the material changes during the processing. For machinable restoration materials, each step in cutting, polishing, glazing, etc. will cause the color of the restoration to change. In addition, there are differences in the colors of the same material with different thicknesses, and there are also differences in the colors of the same color number and the same material with the same thickness under different restoration backgrounds. This makes it difficult to reproduce a restoration with the original color information.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method for optimizing the color aesthetics of chairside digital oral restoration materials. Summary of the Invention

[0040] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present invention, and they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms used are only for the purpose of description and cannot be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0041] In 1898, Munsell introduced color notations and defined a color space with three attributes: brightness, hue, and chroma, and quantified the three attributes:

[0042] 1. Brightness: The attribute that distinguishes the lightness and darkness of a color. The brighter the color, the higher the brightness value. The brightness of white is 100 (maximum value), and the brightness of black is 0 (minimum value).

[0043] 2. Hue: The attribute that identifies and differentiates colors. It corresponds to the wavelength of the light reflected by an object, such as blue, yellow, etc.

[0044] 3. Chroma (saturation): The attribute that quantifies its saturation degree. It represents the purity of a color. The lighter the color, the lower its value.

[0045] To improve the accuracy of color information, the CIE (International Commission on Illumination, French: Commission Internationale de l'Éclairage, internationally abbreviated as CIE in French) has developed some methods to represent color information numerically and first adopted a color space defined numerically in 1931. In 1976, the CIE introduced the CIELAB color space system based on the opponent color theory, which has been internationally recognized and applied. This color space system expresses color information with spatial digital coordinates, where the L* axis represents the brightness coordinate, with values ranging from 0 (absolute black) to 100 (absolute white). a* and b* refer to the chromaticity and hue coordinates of the color, representing the three-dimensional position and direction in the color space. Among them, a* represents the red / green axis. When the coordinate a* is positive (+a*), the object color tends to be red; when this coordinate is negative (-a*), the trend is green, and its range is from -90 to 70. b* represents the yellow / blue axis. When the coordinate b* is positive (+b*), the object color tends to be yellow; when this coordinate is negative (-b*), the trend is blue, and its range of change is from -80 to 100.

[0046] The following combines Figures 1 - 3 to describe the method and system for optimizing the color aesthetics of chairside digital dental restoration materials provided by the present invention.

[0047] Figure 1 is a schematic flowchart of the method for optimizing the color aesthetics of chairside digital dental restoration materials provided by the present invention.

[0048] Referring to Figure 1 , a method for optimizing the color aesthetics of chairside digital dental restoration materials provided by the present invention may include:

[0049] Step S110: Obtain the first color information of the chairside digital dental restoration material sample, where the first color information is the color information of samples of different chairside digital dental restoration materials and different thicknesses under the first light source and without a restoration background;

[0050] Step S120: Obtain the second color information of the chairside digital dental restoration material sample, where the second color information is the color information of samples of different chairside digital dental restoration materials and different thicknesses under the first light source and the same restoration background;

[0051] Step S130: Combine the first color information and the second color information to establish a color information fitting curve of different chairside digital dental restoration materials changing with thickness under different restoration backgrounds for optimizing the color aesthetics of chairside digital dental restoration materials.

[0052] In one embodiment, the first color information and the second color information in step S110 and step S120 can be obtained from a database storing color information of different chairside digital oral restoration materials under different thicknesses and restoration backgrounds, or can be obtained by manually measuring sample data. The restoration background, also known as the substrate, specifies the background of different restorations. For example, an implant crown must be placed on an abutment, and the crown of a natural tooth must be placed on dentin. Taking the crown as a hat, there needs to be a head to support it below.

[0053] For example, the following steps can be used to manually measure sample data to obtain the first color information and the second color information:

[0054] ① Fabricate standardized samples

[0055] Using a precision wire cutting machine under low speed (0.2 mm / min) and constant water cooling conditions, select clinically common and typical chairside digital oral restoration materials, and cut each material into square standardized samples with different thicknesses (0.5 mm - 3.0 mm, with a thickness increment of 0.5 mm between samples), and prepare 5 samples for each group. According to the manufacturer's instructions, use a sintering furnace to sinter the samples that need to be sintered twice. Use a polishing machine by the same experimenter to fully polish both surfaces of all samples. Use a digital micrometer with a precision of 0.02 mm to measure the final thickness of the samples. Before color measurement, all samples are ultrasonically cleaned in distilled water for 10 minutes, cleaned with isopropyl alcohol to remove grease residues, and dried with compressed air.

[0056] ② Measure the color of the standardized samples

[0057] After polishing all samples, use a spectrophotometer to measure the color of the samples. Before each measurement, calibrate the spectrophotometer according to the manufacturer's instructions. Under a D65 illumination source, hold the sample to be measured suspended in the air (without a restoration background), place the probe at the center of the sample surface, and measure the CIELAB color information of the sample in the "single natural tooth" mode of VITA Easyshade V (in the CIELAB color space, L*, a*, b*, C* represent chromaticity, h* represents hue, and the CIELAB color information includes the values of L*, a*, b*, C*, and h*). The same experimenter makes three measurements and calculates the average of the three measurements to obtain the first color information of the samples of different chairside digital oral restoration materials.

[0058] ③ Measure the color of the standardized samples under different restoration backgrounds

[0059] Under the D65 lighting source, place the sample to be measured above the repair background (titanium,), place the probe at the center of the sample surface, and measure the CIELAB color information of the sample in the "single natural tooth" mode of VITA Easyshade V (in the CIELAB color space, L*, a*, b*, C* represent chromaticity, h* represents hue, and the CIELAB color information includes the values of L*, a*, b*, C* and h*). The same experimenter makes three measurements and calculates the average of the three measurements to obtain the second color information of the samples of different chairside digital dental restoration materials.

[0060] Then, step S130 can be based on the first color information and the second color information of the chairside digital dental restoration material samples with different materials, different thicknesses, and different repair backgrounds, and use a curve-making tool to establish a color information fitting curve of different chairside digital dental restoration materials varying with thickness under different repair backgrounds (for an example of the color information fitting curve, see Figures 2 - 4 , b, a, and L can be understood as the x, y, and z of the coordinate system. A position is determined by three points, and the form of the color information fitting curve can be expressed as y = ax + b, where y represents the color information, x represents the thickness corresponding to the color number, and a and b represent parameters), and the color information fitting curves of various chairside digital dental restoration materials can also be integrated to form a database for convenient data update and subsequent use.

[0061] Based on the principle that different chairside digital dental restoration materials show color differences at different thicknesses, this embodiment quantitatively obtains the material color information through a spot-type spectrophotometer colorimeter, establishes color information fitting curves of various chairside digital dental restoration materials varying with thickness under different repair backgrounds, forms a database, and accordingly develops an aesthetic optimization method for color prediction and type screening of chairside digital dental restoration materials to select the chairside digital dental restoration material and color number that are most suitable for the final restoration effect of the to-be-restored person.

[0062] When it is necessary to repair the target teeth of the to-be-restored person, the present invention also provides an aesthetic optimization method for the color of chairside digital dental restoration materials, including:

[0063] Step S110': Obtain the target tooth color information of the to-be-restored person. The target tooth color information includes: the CIELAB color information of the tooth neck of the target tooth, the CIELAB color information of the tooth middle, and the CIELAB color information of the tooth incisal edge. The target tooth color information of the to-be-restored person can be measured by a physician using a spectrophotometer to measure the target teeth of the to-be-restored person;

[0064] Step S120’: According to the target tooth color information, through the color difference expression, it is determined that the target teeth of the person to be repaired can be optimized for the color aesthetics of the target teeth by using the color information fitting curve established by the above-mentioned chairside digital dental restoration material color aesthetics optimization method;

[0065] Step S130’: Match the tooth middle color information with the color information fitting curve to obtain the chairside digital dental restoration material information with the smallest color difference from the tooth middle color information. The chairside digital dental restoration material information includes chairside digital dental restoration material type information and chairside digital dental restoration material shade number information.

[0066] In one embodiment, the color difference expression can adopt the CIEDE2000 color difference expression as:

[0067]

[0068] In the color difference expression, ΔE00 represents the color difference between any two of the tooth neck, tooth middle, and tooth incisal of the target tooth, and ΔL′, Δa′, Δb′, ΔC′, and ΔH′ represent the interpolation between the chromaticity and hue of any two of the tooth neck CIELAB color information, tooth middle CIELAB color information, and tooth incisal CIELAB color information. R T represents the rotation function used to explain the interaction between chromaticity and hue differences, and S L , S C , S H represents the weighting function (the weighting function can be adjusted according to the coordinate system of the sample in the CIELAB space), and K L , K C , K H represents the parameter factor (the parameter factor is a correction term for experimental conditions. In most studies, the parameter factor of the ΔE00 color difference expression is set to 1).

[0069] According to the target tooth color information, through the color difference expression, in step S120’, the color difference between any two of the tooth neck, tooth middle, and tooth incisal of the target tooth can be obtained. When the color difference between any two of the tooth neck, tooth middle, and tooth incisal of the target tooth is less than or equal to the preset color difference acceptable threshold (through experiments, the 50:50% color difference perception threshold PT is 1.2 and the color difference acceptable threshold AT is 2.7. PT requires a higher standard than AT. If the color difference between two colors is within the perceivable threshold, the naked eye cannot distinguish the color difference. The preset color difference acceptable threshold can be selected according to the aesthetic requirements of the patient or doctor. Select 1.2 when the requirements are high and 2.7 when the requirements are broad), it is determined that the target teeth of the person to be repaired can be optimized for the color aesthetics of the target teeth by using the color information fitting curve established by the above-mentioned chairside digital dental restoration material color aesthetics optimization method.

[0070] When the person to be repaired is determined to be a qualified repairer, since the area occupied by the color in the middle of the tooth is the largest and the color is relatively stable, while the color of the tooth neck is affected by the color of the gum, and the transparency of the incisal edge is high and is also easily affected by the background color in the oral cavity, so in step S130’, only the color information of the middle part of the tooth of the person to be repaired can be matched with the color information fitting curve to obtain the chairside digital oral restoration material information with the smallest color difference from the color information of the middle part of the tooth (because the color information fitting curve expresses the variation law of different chairside digital oral restoration materials with thickness under different restoration backgrounds. In clinical application, first, compare the color of the left central incisor, and make the crown of the right central incisor with the same color as the left incisor. In this way, the y in the color information fitting curve (y = ax + b) can be obtained, and the crown thickness value x is a preset fixed value, which is equivalent to forming a target coordinate point. When matching the color information of the middle part of the tooth of the person to be repaired with the color information fitting curve, observe which color information fitting curve the target coordinate point is closest to. It shows that the material and color number corresponding to the color information fitting curve are the materials and color numbers that the repairer needs to use to make the crown, forming the chairside digital oral restoration material information), and according to the chairside digital oral restoration material information, obtain the corresponding picture (the picture includes the chairside digital oral restoration material type information and the chairside digital oral restoration material color number information. The picture can be a picture obtained by photographing the chairside digital oral restoration materials in advance according to different materials and different color numbers. According to the chairside digital oral restoration material information, the corresponding picture can be selected from the picture library) and show it, making the chairside digital oral restoration material information more digital, accurate and visual, so as to facilitate the doctor to quickly find the most suitable chairside digital oral restoration material and color number for the person to be repaired, make a restoration body with the most consistent color with the target tooth for the person to be repaired, and improve the color aesthetics effect and experience of the oral restoration of the person to be repaired. It is also possible to retain the chairside digital oral restoration material and color number information of the target tooth and the restoration body before the repair of the person to be repaired to update and establish the data of the color information fitting curve.

[0071] If it is determined that the color information fitting curve established by the above chairside digital oral restoration material color aesthetics optimization method cannot be used for the color aesthetics optimization of the target tooth of the person to be repaired, the color difference between every two of the tooth neck, tooth middle and tooth incisal of the target tooth obtained through the color difference expression can be directly output, so that the doctor can make the restoration body in the traditional way with reference to the color difference value among the three and the color information.

[0072] A method and system for optimizing the color aesthetics of chairside digital dental restoration materials provided by the present invention. Before restoring the target tooth of the person to be restored, the color difference of the target tooth of the person to be restored is determined for the three parts of the tooth neck, middle, and incisal, and the person to be restored suitable for the color information fitting curve established according to the CIELAB color information of the chairside digital dental restoration material samples under different chairside digital dental restoration materials, different thicknesses, and different restoration backgrounds is screened out. Then, the color information of the middle part of the tooth of the person to be restored is matched with the color information fitting curve, which is beneficial to obtaining the type and color number information of the chairside digital dental restoration material with the smallest color difference from the target tooth in a targeted, efficient, and accurate manner, so as to assist the doctor in fabricating a restoration body with the same color as the target tooth for the person to be restored, making the restored target tooth of the person to be restored present the best color aesthetic effect and improving the quality of chairside dental restoration.
