Abstract

Colour is an important factor that dictates the success of clinical practice in Prosthodontics. The science behind colour has to be studied in depth to have an understanding of the modern developments in gadgetry related to shade selection. This review is an attempt to throw light on the basics of colour science related to Prosthodontics.
