COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF SHADE SELECTION BY POST-GRADUATE STUDENTS UNDER DIFFERENT LIGHTING CONDITIONS

Achieving successful esthetic dentistry that satisfies patients and positively influences their personality is not possible without proper shade selection—whether for direct or indirect dental restorations. Choosing the correct shade is one of the most crucial and fascinating steps in recreating the natural appearance of teeth. The purpose of this study is to provide information on the knowledge and practice of shade matching along with comparison of shade selection under natural light and clinical light for restorations and prosthesis.
