Protrusive Dental Pearl:

To help achieve great shade selection, take pictures sequentially during your assessment and throughout the procedure, then edit the pictures to show as black and white. By analysing the shade match through a black and white process and in steps throughout the treatment, the shade selection will be far more accurate than just attempting this once at the beginning, especially without using the black and white technique, as this will emphasise the value of the shade
