Authors:  . 		 
       
         
  Abstract:  Color is very important in oral medicine. This article presents a few solutions to problems that arise in dental image color analysis. Im- ages taken by a digital camera are calibrated (using VitaPan 3D Master and 18% Grey Card) and, afterwards, the colors that appear in various areas of interest are analysed. The user interface uses the CIE L*a*b* color space and for color comparison the ∆E*ab distance metric is used. The aim of this article is the development of software capable of color analysis performed on a digital image of a dental tooth structure or restorative surface. The analysis of digitally recorded images, performed by computers, may provide important information that can help dentists in achieving superior results.

Key words and phrases. Tooth color, image processing, visualization, medical imaging, computer technology, dental informatics, digital x-ray and imaging devices, computer based oral health record, decision support systems.
