New digital approach to posterior tooth color reproduction in biomimetic adhesive restorations.

Abstract

The accurate determination of tooth shade and its reproduction in modern restorations is often an arduous challenge in daily dental practice. The lack of objective methodologies in dental color estimation can make the work of dentists and dental technicians even more complex and frustrating. The purpose of the present article is to suggest shared clinical and laboratory workflows for digital image standardization to achieve an easy optical integration for posterior indirect composite restorations.
