- 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.
