ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an enhanced electronic shade guide that includes addtitional hue-chroma information between the shades of existing shade guides and value information for the measured tooth. The shade guide provides a recipe for constructing a restoration or replacement for the tooth. A comparison of the patient's tooth to the stored tooth shades is preferably performed electronically by a suitable software program that contains the shade guide information of the present invention.
