Mastering the Principles of In-Office Shade Taking

Achieving accurate shade selection is essential for communication between the Dr. and patient, and Dr. and the lab, to provide aesthetically successful restorations. This comprehensive workshop combines theory and hands-on practice to enhance your shade-taking skills using
industry-standard techniques and tools. Implementing the shade taking protocols will ensure that you and your patients have a better and more predictable shade taking experience.

Participants will explore key concepts such as value, hue, and chroma, along with an in-depth review of leading shade guides, including the VITA Classic, VITA 3D-MASTER, VITA Bleachedguide, and Ivoclar Chromascop. The session will cover crucial considerations like preparation shading, blocking out dark preps or metal posts, and standardized photo-taking protocols for documentation and shade verification.

Through interactive demonstrations and hands-on exercises, attendees will practice shade selection, photography, and shade mapping, receiving real-time feedback from peers and instructors. The workshop concludes with a collaborative case evaluation to refine techniques and improve accuracy.

Key Takeaways:
• Understanding shade parameters: value, hue, and chroma
• Proper use of shade guides and comparison techniques
• Photography protocols for reliable shade documentation
• Hands-on practice in shade selection and mapping
• Real-time feedback and group case evaluations

Light snacks and refreshments provided.
3.5 Hours of CE credits available.

Im.P.R.E.S in the Mountains

Explore the multifaceted realm of esthetic dentistry, encompassing both direct and indirect restorations. This lecture delves into the intricacies of crafting beautiful composite restorations, breaking down the seemingly complex process into clear, manageable steps.

Emphasis is placed on the significance of natural morphology, color, and light in achieving the harmonious balance crucial for composite restorations. Delve into the finer nuances like texture and luster, integral pieces in the art of recreating nature. Transitioning to indirect restorations, the lecture addresses risk assessment in preparation design for porcelain restorations, highlighting the potential drawbacks of interdisciplinary dentistry that may lead to unnecessary enamel removal. Furthermore, focus is placed on the pivotal roles of dental photography and laboratory communication in achieving esthetic excellence, underscoring the importance of teamwork and high-quality visual documentation. The lecture culminates in a showcase of presentations designed to equip participants in tackling challenging cases, ranging from malaligned teeth and dark preparations to canine substitutions and diastema closures.
