Color Matching Accuracy In Dentistry: Standardized protocol and Artificial intelligence approach
In esthetic dentistry, the main goal is to create beautiful and natural-looking teeth by getting the shape and color right. Even though there have been many advancements in dental materials and digital tools, matching the color of teeth is still a big challenge. Right now, dentists and dental technicians mostly rely on their own experience and judgment to pick the right materials to match the right color. Current methods are not standardized, leading to inconsistent results and poor communication about color between dentists and technicians. In this lecture, we will explore the challenges of color matching and provide clear solutions to eliminate remakes and mismatches. You will be equipped with a standardized, step-by-step protocol to replicate any tooth color with predictability. We will also delve into the importance of digital color communication between dentists and dental technicians. Additionally, we will demonstrate the power of artificial intelligence technology to stain full monolithic and micro layering crowns with accurate and predictable outcomes. Get ready to master the art of color matching in dentistry with the Matisse iOS app/Software and Optishade colorimeter.
