Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0012026A1] Method for measuring the colour of a patient's tooth, e.g. for preparing a dental prosthesis, by which method a measuring probe (1) is placed adjacent the tooth, light being emitting from the probe (1) which after reflection from the surface of the tooth is received by the same probe (1). The measuring probe (1) comprises two light conductor members (2, 3), one for transmitting light and one for receiving light, the first light conductor member (2) being formed of a bundle of light conductors concentrically arranged in relation to the second light conductor member (3). A spectroscopic member (7) communicating with a processor means (8) determines the shade of the tooth in relation to a given colour guide.
