Materials and methods The color of the middle third of 735 incisors was visually determined by two evaluators using the Vita Classical (VC) and Vita 3D Master (V3DM) shade guides. The color match between the natural tooth and the shade tab was rated as poor (P), good (G), or optimum (O) by each observer. CIE color coordinates of the target teeth and shade tabs of VC and V3DM were instrumentally measured using a clinical spectrophotometer. Visual ( CE V ) and instrumental ( CE I ) coverage error indexes were computed using CIELAB and CIEDE2000 metrics for both shade guides. For CE V calculation, only the concordant inter-observer determination on tooth shade rated as O–O or O–G was used. The results were evaluated using perceptibility (PT, ΔE∗ ab = 1.2, ΔE 00 = 0.8) and acceptability (AT, ΔE∗ ab = 2.7, ΔE 00 = 1.8) color thresholds for dentistry. Results VC and V3DM exhibited CE I (2.5, 3.2, and 3.2, 2.7 CIELAB units; 1.9, 2.3, and 2.8, 2.4 CIEDE2000 units, respectively, for O–O and O–G match) and CE V (4.7, 4.8, and 4.1, 4.6 CIELAB units; 3.3, 3.4, and 3.4, 3.6 CIEDE2000 units, respectively, for O–O and O–G match) values greater than 50:50% AT for both color difference formulas. CE I contributes more than 50% (53.2–82.4% range) to the CE V value. This contribution depends on the shade guide used and the quality of the visual rating. Conclusions The evaluated shade guides exhibited visual coverage errors above acceptability thresholds, largely due to the contribution of the instrumental coverage error to the visual coverage error.
