Dental material color stability tester
The Dentistry Base Polymer Search Stability tester evaluates color stability of dental base polymers (used in restorations like dentures) under varied conditions (light, temp, humidity). It records initial and subsequent color of samples to assess changes. This helps dentists and technicians choose better materials, improving repair effectiveness and durability, and aids manufacturers in enhancing product performance.
Application
The applications of color stability testers for dental materials are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Quality Control: Helping manufacturers screen materials with resistant color changes and improve product durability.
Clinical Decision Making: Assisting dentists in selecting aesthetically pleasing and durable restorative materials, reducing revision rates.
Compliance and Certification: Meeting the testing requirements of industry standards such as YY/T 0631-2008.
These testers assess the color changes of dental materials under simulated environmental conditions, such as light, temperature, and humidity. During the test, the dental material sample is placed in the tester and exposed to predetermined environmental conditions. The tester records the initial color of the sample and remeasures the color at certain time intervals. By comparing the initial color and the subsequent measured color, the color stability of the dental material can be evaluated.

Feature
The dental material color stability tester has the following features:
Simulated Environmental Conditions: By simulating the light, temperature, and humidity conditions of the oral cavity, the sample undergoes accelerated aging treatment, and its color change is measured periodically to evaluate the material's color stability.
Ease of Operation: The instrument is user-friendly, easy to operate, and convenient to maintain.
High Sensitivity: Color change is measured using spectrophotometry, with repeatability accuracy reaching ΔE*ab ≤ 0.015. ensuring sensitive detection of color changes.
Environmental Stress Simulation: By setting specific periods (e.g., several hours to several days), changes in material color stability are observed.
Color Stability Evaluation Indicators: Auxiliary parameters include yellowness index (YI) and whiteness index (WI), used to quantify specific color shifts.
These features make the dental material color stability tester of significant application value in the research, development, production, and clinical application of dental materials.
