A shade guide for acrylic resin facial prostheses

A J Godoy et al. J Prosthet Dent. 1992 Jul.

Abstract

The value and success of a well-fitting and anatomically correct prosthesis are compromised if the color does not match the adjoining tissue. Color and color science are reviewed to help develop a simplified acrylic resin shade guide to aid in fabricating acrylic resin facial prostheses. This guide will help the clinician obtain a good intrinsic shade and minimize extrinsic coloration.
