Step by step

Step 1 of 6

Perform teeth prophylaxis removing extrinsic dirt.

Step 2 of 6

Bring the Opallis Shade Guide near the tooth and look at it under natural light, with the patient seated or standing. Observe it from a distance of 30cm, semi-extending the arm.

Step 3 of 6

For both enamel and dentin, the shade taking should begin by selecting the hue – basic shade (A, B or C), followed by the chroma – shade saturation (0.5 to 3.5).

Step 4 of 6

To select dentin shades, we suggest positioning the guide on the most cervical third of the teeth, where enamel is thinner.

Step 5 of 6

To select enamel shades, we suggest positioning the guide on the incisive/occlusal or proximal third of the teeth, where there is less thickness and interference by the dentin.

Step 6 of 6

Upon final selection, you may overlap the guide pieces to foresee the results in terms of opacity and final effect.

Note

Effect shades may be used as needed to mimic the characteristics of natural teeth. They are usually used as enamel increments.
