A study found that 9.3% of male dental personnel have color vision defects, impacting restorative and esthetic dentistry. Early detection and team-based shade matching can mitigate this potential weakness in dental practice.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Dental Science

Background:

  • Color vision is crucial for restorative and esthetic dentistry.
  • Dentists typically do not undergo color vision testing during their careers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the color vision status of practicing dental personnel.
  • To identify potential challenges in shade matching due to color vision deficiencies.

Main Methods:

  • Screened 150 dental personnel (75 men, 75 women) at the University of Tennessee, College of Dentistry.
  • Corroborated findings with existing medical data for the general population.

Main Results:

  • 9.3% of men exhibited color vision defects; no women did.
  • Results align with general population data regarding color vision prevalence.

  • No ethnic or racial distinctions in color vision defects were detected.

    • Conclusions:

    • A significant percentage of male dental practitioners may have undetected color vision deficiencies.
    • This poses a potential challenge in accurate shade matching for dental restorations.
    • Simple remedies include team-based shade matching or utilizing mechanical shade matching tools.
