Tooth shades can be the most difficult, while at the same time most important, thing to communicate between the dental office and lab. The success of a crown and bridge case, particularly single unit cases, depends to a great degree on how closely the shade of the crown matches the shade of the adjacent teeth.

One way to improve the precision and accuracy of communicating shades is with the use of the Vita 3-D Master shade guide.
