The shade guides for IPS Style Ceram are supporting tools for determining the shade. To prevent cross-contamination in the oral cavity, the individual tabs and the entire shade guide are autoclavable. The gingiva shade is determined using the Gingiva Solution shade guide prior to the local anaesthesia or the preparation. Shade determination should be carried out at daylight, and the patient should not wear bright coloured clothing and/or lipstick. For a flawless reproduction of the determined tooth shade, an additional digital photograph of the starting situation is recommended.
