This study evaluated how the background (white or gray) affects color parameter measurements and difference calculations (∆Eab ∆E00) of dental ceramics. Disc-shaped feldspathic ceramic specimens were prepared with two shades (enamel dentin) stained in red wine (7-day immersion). A spectrophotometer was used to perform (CIEL*a*b* coordinates) over gray white backgrounds after specimen preparatio...

As they have been designed to undergo colorimetric changes that are dependent on the polarity of solvents, the majority of conventional solvatochromic molecule based sensor systems inevitably display broad overlaps in their absorption and emission bands. As a result, colorimetric differentiation of solvents of similar polarity has been extremely difficult. Here we present a tailor-made colorime...

this publication uses a colorimetric method based on the absorbance spectra of dye solutions to improve on beer’s law when calculating the dye concentrations of a three-component mixture. the performance of the new method is compared with that of beer’s law evaluated at three wavelengths, and beer’s law evaluated at 16 wavelengths. colorimetric method gives the best prediction of dye concentrat...

some children of borazjan area have minute white flecks, yellow or brown spot areas scattered irregularly over the tooth surface, the causative factor was attributed to excess of fluoride in water. to verify this matter short chemical examination of water samples from endemic area was carried out. the results of water analysis by colorimetric method, using zirconium a1izarin reagent after disti...
