Title: Color in Dentistry Decoded

 

Presenters: Dr. Rade Paravina and Mr. Aki Yoshida

Abstract:

Color and appearance are very pertinent to dental practice for the esthetic outcome and the natural replication of biomimetic restorations. This lecture will provide an overview of the most recent scientific developments combined with their clinical application. Examples and practical suggestions associated with enhanced esthetics in both the dental office and the dental laboratory will be covered. This includes, but is not limited to, the nature of color, evidence-based interpretation of clinical results, materials selection and quality control, computer modelling for "white", "pink", and relevance of translucency. You will learn traditional and advanced approaches aimed to address drawbacks and provoke a paradigm shift. 

 

 

Objectives: 

1. Understand the nature of color appearance and visual thresholds in dentistry, and their clinical relevance through the day-to-day dentistry point of view 

2. Review and contrast traditional (empirical) and contemporary (evidence-based) approach to tooth color matching, communication and reproduction 

3. Compare the "pink" related issues and solutions
