The use of the appropriately equipped, in methods 2) and
4), increases the predictability in the diagnosis of the tooth
shade. It is in this “different look” that photography expresses its
maximum potential and usefulness. A correct interpretation of
dental shade is of considerable importance in the choice of the
correct restorative material.
In the visually assisted photographic method, the correct
choice of shade will follow the entire photographic workflow
to the delivery of the manufactured prosthesis (Figure 51).
In the case of a single-tooth restoration, despite the apparent
correct shade selection, several sessions are required to try
in the prosthetic and the result is not always predictable [16,17]
(Figure 46).

the patient and the treatment are clearly finished the orthodontic treatment the aesthetics on 2.1. Using some
evident in this single photograph photographs of the patient, we propose
two different solutions that we share
with the patient to strengthen her
confidence regarding the final treatment
and facilitate her decision

Fig 20: Using Keynote, we initially propose a solution that involves working on tooth 2.1 by means of a layered disilicate crown

Fig 21: Again by deepening the aesthetic analysis, we propose a second solution which involves working on tooth 2.1 by means
of a layered disilicate crown and a layered disilicate veneer on tooth 1.1; this solution will make it easier to integrate the shape
and color of the two central incisors. This solution will improve the incisal contour, which should be transformed from flat to
convex to follow the outline of the lower lip, making the aesthetics of the smile more natural and harmonious
