[QUOTE="Car 54, post: 343585, member: 85"] I think what can become a greater issue is in shades being taken after prepping, when teeth become dehydrated and lighter, whiter, losing their translucency. The shade should be taken right when the patient sits down, before injections or pre-op impressions. No in lab color correct lighting can make up for that. Also, with layered emax or even some of the 4y - 5y zirconia's that are layered, the need for prep shades to overcome a dark background. IMO, has a greater impact on the end success and result compared the lighting, which again is still critical. [ATTACH type="full" alt="11-21-2021 8-18-53 AM.png"]39806[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
