Totally Simplified Color Matching - Single Shade Direct Composite Presenter: Dr. Bob Lowe CE Supporter: Tokuyama Dental America Release Date: 10/15/19     Reviewed: 2024 Expiration Date: 10/15/27 CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study) View Full Description »

Creating aesthetic direct composite restorations that precisely match existing tooth color is a clinical challenge that can be difficult for even the most experienced clinician. Shades for most composite materials rely upon 1950’s technology – the VITA Lumin Shade Guide. Clinical reality is that many composites do not precisely match the VITA Shade Guide let alone each other! This can be extremely frustrating for the clinician, especially for a patient that is “picky” about aesthetic matching. Having a universal, single-shade composite system that can take the “guesswork” and frustration out of shade selection and match a majority of clinical situations, is something that restorative dentists will welcome! In this CE webinar, you will be introduced to the first of its kind...a truly universal single-shade composite system.
