Predictability of color matching and the possibilities for enhancement of ceramic laminate veneers.
This study investigated the predictability of color (Hue, Value, and Chroma) on three illustrated surfaces of ceramic veneers and the extent to which laminates may be shade-adapted by use of tints and opaquers on the fitting surface. Significant discrepancies were found in the final color match. The dentist should opt for a lighter, more translucent shade, which can be modified before final cementation.
