Abstract:PurposeTo investigate the effects of shade tab color variations (tooth‐colored versus gingiva‐colored) and surface treatment (application of mineral oil) on the trueness of color reproduction from dental shade tabs to 3D‐printed full‐color dental casts, using digital scans obtained from an intraoral scanner.Materials and MethodsPristine tooth‐colored (with 16 shade tabs) and gingiva‐colored (with 5 shade tabs) shade guides were digitally scanned using an intraoral scanner, and subsequently, 3D‐printed replicas… Show more
