1
Select Before Prep: Perform shade selection before tooth preparation to prevent dehydration-related color changes.
2
Clean the Teeth: Clean the patient's teeth and remove any visible surface stains before matching.
3
Neutralize Surroundings: Ask the patient to remove brightly colored lipstick or lip gloss that could distort perception.
4
Use Correct Lighting: Use standardized daylight lighting between 5500K and 6500K.
5
Compare: Hold the guide 25 to 30 cm from the tooth and compare the middle third of the tab with the middle third of the natural tooth.
6
Decide and Record: Complete selection within 10 to 15 seconds to reduce eye fatigue, then record the shade for the laboratory.
Important: Prepared teeth temporarily appear lighter due to dehydration, so always match the shade before preparation for the most accurate result.
