Full text linkAbstract: Evaluation of the right colour is an important step in restorative dentistry. In history, clinicians started to take
the colour with subjective methods. For instance, shade guides were used to compare the teeth with their colour tabs
and choose the right one. However, this method presents some issues related to the clinician: everyone perceives
colours in different ways, not only because humans differ from each other, but also because they can be affected by
local, physiological, physical and psychologically uncontrolled factors, such as fatigue, aging, emotions and lighting
conditions. All these factors together contribute to make the subjective method unpredictable. For this reason, new
instruments need to be exploited by clinicians in order to describe teeth colour in a more accurate and objective manner,
thus applying the objective method. The digital camera, the colorimeter and the spectrophotometer are some of the
instruments that can be used to reach this purpose. In both the subjective and objective methods, during determination
of the colour, the clinician often focuses on teeth and forgets what surrounds it, like the black background of the mouth or
the environmental light. These elements may influence the perception of the colour and, mainly in clinicians with a low
level of experience, they could lead to a wrong evaluation of right shades. In order to solve these issues, different
strategies can be applied by clinicians, such as making their own shade guide, mixing the objective and subjective
methods, or use new devices
Guidelines for Adhesive Dentistry: The Key to Success
No full textThis book and DVD set provides a dynamic multimedia program that effectively teaches the fundamental techniques of contemporary operative dentistry. The presentation of nomenclature and dental morphology is illustrated with interactive 3-D reconstructions that allow readers to closely analyze anatomic details. Explanation of the mechanism of tooth decay includes both traditional and contemporary classifications of cavity preparations. Narrated videoclips and clinical phases from real cases guide the user, step-by-step, through each phase of restorative treatment—from field isolation to the final polishing of the definitive restoration. When used in combination, this book and DVD allow for a comprehensive self-directed study of the various phases of adhesive dentistry
