An image processing system which performs photography of the teeth of a
patient while causing a plurality of illumination light LEDs of different
wavelengths to emit light by means of a photography device when producing
a crown repair or denture of the patient, whereby image data are
acquired. The image data are transmitted to a dental filing system
constituting a processing device where color reproduction data are
determined through computation. In addition, color reproduction data are
transmitted to the dental technician's office via a public switched
network. A repair material compound ratio calculation database is
searched and compound data for a material that matches the hue of the
patient's teeth is retrieved, so that a crown repair or denture or the
like that very closely matches the color of the patient's teeth can be
produced.
