Key points
- A 5.0-megapixel digital camera achieved 60% agreement with spectrophotometric values for tooth color selection.
- A 1.5-megapixel camera showed lower agreement with spectrophotometric values.
- Human observers' color matching was also compared to spectrophotometric data.
- Higher digital camera resolution appears to increase the reliability of dental color selection.

Abstract
PURPOSE: This study evaluated the validity of the color selection results obtained from digital cameras. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Four observers matched the colors of 30 extracted maxillary incisors under daylight conditions. Two different digital cameras, with 1.5- and 5.0-megapixel resolutions, were used to select the color of the standardized circular area with 3 reference points on the same teeth; a spectrophotometer was also used, and the results were compared with the human and camera observations. RESULTS: The highest significant agreement (60% agreement with the spectrophotometric values) was found with the 5.0-megapixel camera. CONCLUSION: It appears that the resolution capacity of a digital camera can increase the reliability of color selection.
