Using Direct Resin Composites to Enhance Anterior Esthetics Flashcards
Out of these four things, contour or shape, color, translucency, surface texture. Which is the hardest to match in anterior teeth
translucency
What is important regarding the enamel in restorations
shape
surface texture
modifies dentin color
What are two things to be aware of regarding the central incisors
3 lobes
2 concavities
These can be shaped to create an optical illusion making the tooth narrower or wider
line angles
This is the degree of mixture of the three primary colors; red, yellow and blue
hue
This is the degree of color saturation; pure has a high level and weak have a low
chroma (amount of pigment)
This is the degree of color brightness; whiter is high and dark is lower
value
When should shade matching procedures be carried out
before the teeth are exposed to dehydration
Why should shade matching procedures be done before procedures are carried out
teeth become lighter when dehydrated; perceivable color change does not return to baseline within 30min of rehydration
This is the color category of the dentinal body
hue
This is the color saturation of the dentinal body
chroma
This is the degree of whiteness of enamel
value
These are white spots of different types and shapes
intensives
This is blue or grey; transparent effects found in enamel
opalescence
Optical properties of some resin composites are affects with what
time and water uptake, especially if not completely cured
