title: Digital shade analysis and verification: a case report and discussion.
abstract: Shade analysis and selection requires the accurate and objective evaluation of hue, chroma, value, characterization, and translucency. Conventional shade analysis techniques using shade tabs often result in the subjective analysis and miscommunication of color. Digital shade analysis systems have been designed to eliminate the subjectivity of color analysis and provide exact information for laboratory buildup and fabrication. The advent of digital shade analysis can facilitate the precise and uniform fabrication of aesthetic restorations by technicians at all levels of color expertise.
