Book review - Fundamentals of color: shade matching and communication in esthetic dentistry

Providing patients with a natural-looking smile is an important goal for the dental professional. However, obtaining an accurate shade match for restorations can be a difficult and frustrating experience. The lack of training in basic science and art of color often becomes glaringly evident in the quality of restorative work. This book was written to simplify the study of color and help dentists communicate shade easily and accurately. It begins by presenting the basics of color theory within the context of esthetic dentistry and the factors that affect the transmission and perception of color. This is followed by how-to chapters on conventional and technology-based shade matching, which highlight the advantages and drawbacks of each approach. This updated and expanded second edition also includes chapters on the use of digital photography for shade verification and the influence of material selection on color matching. In the final two chapters, the authors present their own recommended shade-matching protocol which combines conventional and computer-based techniques, and an expanded series of cases demonstrating its application in various clinical scenarios. Highly recommended for students, general practioners, and specialists. The book is richly illustrated with high- quality pictures which facilitate understanding the contents. Highly recommended for students, general practioners, and specialists.
