[QUOTE="user name, post: 267985, member: 1719"] Update: As I said to start...patients teeth looked relatively low value, maybe a C-1 range, quite a bit of enamel crazing, slightly darker cervicals, nothing special, just middle aged. Dr had her in A-1 temps. She like them, but wanted a brighter smile...more 'pretty'. I pressed in LiSi B-),one step into the bleach line. Dr said fit, shape was excellent. We corrected midline, feminized the shape, things looked good...but Patient thought it was way too bright. I didnt get to see her, but from the original pic provided, I dont think'A' is her color. Im going to re-press. Im thinking Im going to jump to an HT ingot. The LiSi chart shows E-58 as the corresponding to an A-1. I laid out the B-0, A-1,HT-57 and HT-58. As they sit on my desk, HT-58 looks like the one, but I had previously used it on an A-1 patient and it was way too gray, so that was re=done with an A-1. Im nervous. My wax-ups are all pretty even thickness; centrals slightly thicker than the veneers on the lats and cuspids. Average is 1.2-1.5mm. [/QUOTE]
