This chart will enable the technician to make the equivalent
conversion from different manufacturers of bleached shades to the
Authentic® bleached shades.
The definitions of "Plus" (+) and "Plus/Plus"
(++) ingots, are given to assist the technician in making the correct
ingot selection for each prescribed shade.
When reviewing the shade conversions below,
the Empress® shades are for ingot conversion while the Chromascop
(Ivoclar) and the Vita shades are for the dentin hue conversions.
These shades are for the bleached shade type
