Jang-Ching Chou and Eiad El

Abstract

A technique for clinical shade analysisis presented. The technique involves first eliminating shade tabs with dissimilar shades, and then taking digital images of the target tooth with a shade tab aligned edge-to-edge. The imageof the shade tab is then digitally duplicated, cropped, and flipped. The cropped and flipped shade tab is aligned adjacentto the target tooth to visualize the color gradient
