Chairside Shade Guide System by LSK121

The Chairside Shade Guide system reduces the guesswork of shade matching. The Chairside Shade Guide (CSG) system is a revolutionary new level of excellence in the art and practice of cosmetic shade matching and communication. CSG is comprised of five unique, individual sets of ceramic shade tabs used for matching the natural dentition of patients. The Chairside Shade Guide system is divided into five innovative categories, each containing 20 tabs that work together to improve communication between doctors and laboratories, effectively eliminating the guesswork regarding how restorations will be completed. The CSG system is manufactured with porcelain ceramic shade tabs, tabs that provide more realistic color comparisons than possible with other, traditional shade tab systems, leading to exceptionally life-like restorations and fewer remakes.

Mimicking Nature

The CSG system was developed to reflect changes that occur in teeth over time. As patients age, dentin and mamelon naturally decreases. These physical changes alter the translucency and transparency of teeth, dramatically modifying their natural appearance. While traditional shade tabs do not account for these changes, the CSG system provides multiple tools for communicating these characteristics.





Choosing a Shade Guide

Chairside Shade Guide 3.0

CSG 3.0 was developed for younger patients. This set contains 14 tabs for matching the natural shades and characteristics of younger patients along with six cosmetic (bleach) shade tabs. Enamel colors for these tabs range from bright to medium white, reflective of the higher composition of dentin and enamel overlay in younger patients’ teeth. CSG 3.0 allows doctors to choose between opal and translucent shades, variations of white calcification, and various mamelon colors.

Chairside Shade Guide 4.0

CSG 4.0 was developed for middle-aged patients and includes 20 shade variations reflective of a 20 percent to 30 percent reduction of color in enamel. CSG 4.0 includes three variations of white calcification with multiple translucency and mamelon options to reflect the lower enamel and higher translucency common in this age group.

Chairside Shade Guide 5.0

CSG 5.0 features tabs suitable for elderly patients in which teeth become more transparent. These tabs contain subtle, moderate and heavy shades of brown, orange, gray and yellow dentin coloration reflective of natural teeth in this age group.

Chairside Shade Guide 6.0
