During this course, I tested my visual perception and tooth shade-matching ability, and read a lecture on different themes and techniques utilized by dentists to appropriately match the correct shade for their patients. This skill is something I will be using all the time as a general dentist, for example when I choose shades for crowns, veneers, or implants. Matching a patient&#8217;s teeth with the correct shade is not always easy, but this course was very helpful to me as I continue to get used to doing it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25733,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-12","points","type-points","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pro-dentistry.temple.edu\/aparlanti\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/points\/12","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pro-dentistry.temple.edu\/aparlanti\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/points"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pro-dentistry.temple.edu\/aparlanti\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/points"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pro-dentistry.temple.edu\/aparlanti\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/25733"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pro-dentistry.temple.edu\/aparlanti\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/pro-dentistry.temple.edu\/aparlanti\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/points\/12\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pro-dentistry.temple.edu\/aparlanti\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
