Teaching Shade-Taking Techniques to Your Clients
Vident
You can have a precise marginal fit, perfect occlusion and a reliable, biocompatible material that wears better than natural enamel, but if the shade is off, even just a little, the patient will notice, and a remake will be in the works. Although most of us have a strong understanding of VITA 3D-Master Shades—including value, chroma, hue and the advantages they provide clinically and in differentiating laboratories—the challenge is getting dentists and their teams to use this superior, evidence-based approach to taking shades. Join Dr. Mark Murphy to learn how to create a lunch-and-learn for dentists and their teams that helps them understand and use the 3D-Master shade language so their shades become more predictable and their color language more scientific. Attendees receive a DVD of the lecture.
