Aim: This study is conducted to evaluate the use of TCS230 color recognition sensor to analyze the color shade of artificial teeth.
Method: A standard acrylic teeth shade guide was used in this study, and each shade is digitally analyzed by the color sensor through multiple readings according to RGB system for color analysis. The average Red, Green, and Blue readings were analyzed and the data were plotted statistically.
Results and conclusion: The results showed a significant variation for each color value among all the shades. Each shade showed a significant proportional difference among the others. The red color values appeared to have the most fluctuating trend. It is recommended to use this technique for teeth shade guide examination and selection than relying only on visual evaluation.
