Shade selection by color vision-defective dental personnel

S P Davison et al. J Prosthet Dent. 1990 Jan.

Abstract

This investigation studied the impairment of Hue, Value, and Chroma matching by color vision-defective dental personnel. Color-defective dental personnel were found to make significantly greater errors in Hue and Chroma selection than normal-vision dental personnel. Value, the component of shade selection considered the most important, was uneffected. Color-normal dental assistants were significantly more accurate in Hue and Chroma selection than color-defective dental personnel and could assist affected dentists in clinical situations.
