Using Photos As A Communication Tool With The Ceramist
- Photos are not to communicate exact shade but rather relative shades
and any transitions between the different shades of the tooth.
- Try to take photos in a 1:1 or 1:1.2 ratio. Also take them using different
f-stops and from slightly different angles.
- Sometimes the surface textures show up better when the photo is slightly
underexposed. Using different angles will allow the ceramist to see
how the surface texture responds to different light reflections and
refraction.
- Avoid dehydration. Take your photos before you do anything else. If
the teeth dehydrate, hypocalcified areas can show up that usually don't
exist when the teeth are hydrated.
- Take photos with a shade tab next to the tooth or teeth you are trying
to match. Both will then receive the same amount of light intensity
with the flash. Take several different shots with the shade tab placed
next to the different parts of the teeth. If different sections of the
tooth are different shades, place the matching shade tab close to that
particular section so the ceramist can see the relationship between
the tab and the tooth shades. Make sure that the ceramist can see the
shade tab number on the photos.
- For the final photograph (after you have taken all the ones for the
shades), dry of the teeth to be matched. This photograph will give the
ceramist an indication of the surface gloss and texture. Mark the photograph
clearly so the ceramist knows you are relaying surface gloss and texture,
not shade, information.
