Abstract: Optical characteristic measuring systems and methods such as for determining the color or other optical characteristics of teeth are disclosed. Perimeter receiver fiber optics are apart from a source fiber optic and receive light from the surface of the object/tooth being measured. Light from the perimeter fiber optics pass to a variety of filters. The system utilizes the perimeter receiver fiber optics to determine information regarding the height and angle of the probe with respect to the object/tooth being measured. Under processor control, the optical characteristics measurement may be made at a predetermined height and angle. Various color spectral photometer arrangements are disclosed. Translucency, fluorescence, gloss and/or surface texture data also may be obtained. Audio feedback may be provided to guide operator use of the system. The probe may have a removable or shielded tip for contamination prevention. A method of producing dental prostheses based on measured data also is disclosed. Measured data also may be stored and/or organized as part of a patient data base.

Abstract: A manual device for the detection of photometric data which includes a measuring head to illuminate a measuring surface and to detect the light reflected. The measuring light captured by the measuring head is spectrally decomposed by a monochromator containing a diffraction grating. The intensity of the light exiting through an outlet diaphragm is detected by a photodetector. The spectral position of the measuring light is set by a drive motor rotating a grating shaft connected with the holder of the diffraction grating. From the spectra detected, densitometric and colorimetric data are calculated by a computer, which together with the spectra determined, may be displayed on a display field.
