Clinical technique Clinical technique A. Initial clinical procedures,1. Local anesthesia1. Local anesthesia - patient is more relaxed - patient is more relaxed - reduced salivation- reduced salivation

2. Preparation of operating site –2. Preparation of operating site –• clean the operating site with slurry of pumice to clean the operating site with slurry of pumice to

remove any remove any debris, plaquedebris, plaque , pellicle, and superficial stains . Calculus removal – Prophy pastes containing flavoring agents, or fluorides act

as contaminants and should be avoided to prevent a possible conflict with the acid-etch technique.

3.Shade selection3.Shade selection

• Color varies with Color varies with translucency, thickness of translucency, thickness of enamel and dentin, age enamel and dentin, age of the patient, presence of the patient, presence of any external or internal of any external or internal stains stains

• Different color zones are Different color zones are present - incisal third is present - incisal third is lighter and translucent lighter and translucent than cervical third. Middle than cervical third. Middle third is blend of two third is blend of two

1. 1. Determine shade Determine shade at the startat the start of an of an appointment (before the tooth is subjected appointment (before the tooth is subjected to dehydration)to dehydration)

2. Use either 2. Use either natural lightnatural light (not direct (not direct sunlight) or a colour corrected artificial light sunlight) or a colour corrected artificial light source.source.

3. Drape the patient with a neutral colored 3. Drape the patient with a neutral colored cover if clothing is bright cover if clothing is bright

4. 4. Assess value by squintingAssess value by squinting. The reduced . The reduced amount of light entering the eye allows the amount of light entering the eye allows the retinal rods to better distinguish degrees of retinal rods to better distinguish degrees of lightness and darkness. (Vita Lumin shade lightness and darkness. (Vita Lumin shade tabs set in order of value )tabs set in order of value )

5. Make 5. Make rapid comparisonsrapid comparisons with shade tabs (no with shade tabs (no more than 5 seconds each viewing) more than 5 seconds each viewing) Make Make the selection rapidly to avoid eye fatiguethe selection rapidly to avoid eye fatigue

• If more time If more time (more (more than 30)than 30) required required then look at then look at complimentary complimentary colors (blue/violet)colors (blue/violet) this revitalizes and this revitalizes and resensititze the resensititze the color receptors in color receptors in the eyethe eye

6. Choose the dominant hue and chroma within 6. Choose the dominant hue and chroma within the value range chosen. The canines - useful the value range chosen. The canines - useful guide to assessing hue.guide to assessing hue.

7. Compare selected tabs under different 7. Compare selected tabs under different conditions eg wet vs dry, different lip conditions eg wet vs dry, different lip positions, artificial and natural light from positions, artificial and natural light from different angles.different angles.

8. Look carefully for colour characterisation such 8. Look carefully for colour characterisation such as stained imbrication lines, white spots, as stained imbrication lines, white spots, neck colouration, incisal edge translucency neck colouration, incisal edge translucency
