Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate binocular difference in color perception among dental students with normal color vision in Alexandria University using Farnsworth- Munsell 100- hue test along with its corresponding software. A sample size included 100 undergraduate dental students from Alexandria University. Participants signed a consent form to approve their participation in the study. Brief instructions were given. The instructions contained information about Ishihara plates, Farnsworth-Munsell 100-Hue test and the importance of binocular difference on color perception and its effect on the dental procedures. The participants were given 4 seconds to identify the number on the plate. Each participant was asked to extend both arms in front of his/her body and place their hands together to make a small triangle. With both of their eyes open, each participant was asked to look through the triangle, focus on a specific object (a door knob) about 10 feet (3 m) away and try not to move their hands. Then, each participant was asked to close their eyes alternatively. The dominant eye was the eye viewing the object. Each participant was asked to arrange the caps of each box of the Farnsworth – Munsell 100 hue test in five minutes. The test was first performed using both eyes. This was followed by each eye individually. The total error scores were calculated using the corresponding scoring software. The resultant data were tabulated and statistically analyzed. |
