[QUOTE="BlakeHarting, post: 282160, member: 6766"] 1. I start out by asking them how they like their temporary. I'm looking to pick up on any things they do/do-not like, so I can keep/fix any of those features. 2. Then I ask/note any difficulties with their case as to align their expectations with reality. 3, Then I use the Vita Easyshade to narrow down which Vita 3D master linear value shade cards I'm going to look at first. 4. Then I take each shade that I deem close to the tooth and put them onto a separate shade card. 5. Then I take polarized pictures of that shade card next to tooth being matched. 6. Then I take polarized filter off and take a close up of that tooth, and a smile picture. 7. Then while looking at the patients tooth with the shade card I made, I decide... - at least 3 shades and draw basic representation (one gingiva, one dentin middle, and one enamel) - note type of mamelon structure and draw basic representation - note any other characteristics and colors and draw basic representation(crack lines, decalcification, etc..) 8. Then I tell them to have a nice day and nice to meet ya! [/QUOTE]
