Over the years, even with advancements in technology, matching a single anterior tooth continues to be one of the most difficult tasks we face. This presentation will show a shade-matching technique that will help record color-accurate images and digitize the information for a precise and detailed transfer of information. By incorporating a known reference, numerical values can be applied to shade matching. These additional tools provide the technician and dentist with an objective assessment that will enhance shade matching when restoring single anterior teeth.
- Introduce the gray reference card and numerical shade matching technique.
- Learn how to take advantage of the digital values of color and appreciate how this information can enhance shade mapping.
- Present in-office findings on the accuracy of this technique.
