What shade do you think this is?

[2thm8kr]

I'll also add I have never picked a B2+ or C shade ever when doing custom shades.

Don't ask that question.

so i got these two more pictures~ I m thinking of either A3 MT ingot and stain orangish or B3 HT ingot and stain orangish.

Really not a fan of using HT ingots unless its onlay crowns. and definitely not a LT on this case cuz seems like the patient's teeth have some translucency.

This one is on you. I don't guess on anterior.

Naw~ I m doing lower molar~ I shouldnt be really worrying too much but its a new dr for my business so trying to be extra careful on it haha

Tell the good Dr to include a shade tab in the pics, it helps a lot to pick the right shade when you got a reference included (ie. you go and adjust the color saturation till the shade tab looks like the real one)...just sayin...

Plus it's #31.

Lol , the amount of times I've been called into the Doctors office to pick a shade on #31.......I give them a 'Really?' look . That's what you get for not charging for shade takes .

In a case like this, I would think of the doc's history of shading. I have clients who religiously stick to certain range of the shade guide. I have a client since the dawn of history his most proscribed shading is d3 with c1 Incisal. So I have the a range doc, b range doc,etc.

The shade depends upon a number of factors: the color of the lighting used while taking the pic, the camera setting, the computer monitor setting, and one's own cones in their eyes. Have the doc and his/her assistant take the color test below to see if they can even see color correctly. Take the test yourself. Evaluate and compensate for weaknesses.
