Mastering Shade Analysis with Javier Tapia-Guadix DDS
Event Information
Description
Coming February 2019
This course will be an intensive two-day program searching for the excellence in the analysis and comprehension of color in dentistry, for clinicians and technicians.
Day 1
Part 1
Mastering Color
• Basic color parameters: hue, chroma and value.
• Translucency as value modulator.
• Texture as value modulator.
• Opalescence and fluorescence: myths and legends.
Blo-Emulation a new approach to color in dentistry:
• Optical properties of dental structures.
• 3D anatomy: enamel vs dentin.
• Understanding dental tissues ageing process.
• Dynamic light observation.
• The penta_laminar concept: a dynamic layering approach.
• Practical Implementation: is it possible to simplify?
• Emulating nature with a limited amount of shades. Simplification criteria.
• Clinical application.
• The tri_laminar concept: a simplified vision for posterior restorations.
Part 2
• Introduction to digital photography
• The photography equipment: body, lens & illumination systems. Recommendations for dental photography,
• Revisiting essential concepts for dental photography: shutter speed, aperture, depth of field, ISO and white balance.
• Digital formats: RAW vs JPEG.
• Exposure control through histogram information.
• Optimising settings to maximise the information recording: understanding photography as capture-processing binomial.
• The digital workflow: calibration and preset creation for batch-processing.
• Bio-Emulation: polar_eyes, fluor_eyes, white_balance & axis.
• Bio-Emulation: advanced photography protocol.
• eLAB®: the revolution in shade management: capture -calibrate - create
