Abstract

Shade selection is essential to achieving good esthetic outcomes of prosthodontic treatment. Visual inspection methods are easily performed but may feature inconsistent outcomes. Digital shade-measuring devices require expert result interpretation and are expensive. In this case report, a practical clinical approach for shade selection was applied. After an impression was obtained, a single implant-supported crown was fabricated on a cast model. Intraoral photograph and the photograph of the cast model with the prosthesis placed upon it were uploaded into the software. The prosthesis part of the cast model photograph was cropped and superimposed over the intraoral photograph, enabling a virtual trial of the prosthesis to predict the expected esthetic outcomes.
