    PLAN B: An Economical Method for Managing the Difficult Shade Match

    COURSE SUMMARY

    Conventional shade matching protocols involve intraoral photographs taken with porcelain tabs held in the patient’s mouth adjacent to natural dentition or restorations. Frequently, however, the limits of shade tabs are exposed when the teeth that need to be emulated possess color variations and intrinsic properties not covered by the range of the currently available shade guides. This presentation will demonstrate predictable and economical methods utilizing light-cured, stain and glaze applications as well as custom shade tabs for fixed and removable restorations which will serve the clinician in decreasing costly remakes and improving the patient experience.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES
    1. Review many of the current shortcomings that exist with shade communication between clinician and technician.
    2. Establish the parameters of staining and glazing custom shade tabs, provisional crowns, complete dentures, and other various dental prosthetics that are coincident with the treatment planning and delivery of fixed and removable restorations.
    3. Develop a case-specific armamentarium based on treatment needs.
    4. Apply course concepts and techniques to current patient base.
