Optical spectral reference templates: ColgateRecent Research Landscape

Inconsistent focal distances and lighting angles during manual dental imaging lead to diagnostic errors and retakes. These innovations utilize physical positioning templates to standardize the spatial relationship between the lens, light source, and tooth surface.

What technical problems is Colgate addressing in Optical spectral reference templates?

Inaccurate dental shade matching

(8)evidences

Variations in ambient lighting and camera positioning prevent accurate color assessment during oral treatments. Standardizing the optical environment ensures reliable tracking of whitening progress.

Inconsistent oral therapeutic delivery

(5)evidences

Uncontrolled bacterial proliferation leads to irreversible structural damage of dental and gingival tissues. Arresting this degradation prevents systemic infection and tooth loss.
