With today's improved esthetic materials, there is nothing more critical than obtaining a perfect shade match for your doctor's restorations. Mark Murphy, DDS, FAGD, explains how you can teach your doctors an Evidence-Based Shade Communication protocol during a Lunch & Learn to help them save time, reduce remakes and communicate fluidly with your laboratory. He covers the science of color and inexpensive spectrophometric technology; the historical development and anecdotal practice of shade taking; the importance of value first, then chroma and hue; lighting; distance; color; perception; and eye physiology. He provides a copy of the slides so you can use for your Lunch & Learns.
