Getting the right shade is critical to success in crown and bridge dentistry. This course demonstrates a systematic protocol for utilizing a modern value-based system to select shades for crown and bridge restorations. Unlike the most commonly used shade guide, the value- based shade system distributes shades in a logical manner, to enable easy and accurate shade selection. Using this system will reduce the number of remakes, and provide more efficient service to your patients.
