Many factors affect selection of the proper shade for metal-ceramic restorations. The purpose of this paper was to present the inherent limitations in accurate shade determination and discuss methods to control these limitations. A systematic approach is presented as an aid for attaining accurate shade selection. Using this approach will enable the dentist to place more esthetic restorations.
