The event was opened by Dr Stephen Chu, then SCAD president (2011–2012), followed by a warm welcome message from Dr Ronald E. Goldstein, the pioneer of aesthetic dentistry. The scientific meeting featured high-quality, evidence-based presentations on colour-related issues in dentistry by well-known speakers in dentistry attended by leading clinicians, researchers, specialists, dental technicians and general dentists worldwide. The topics covered the wide field of aesthetic dentistry with a special emphasis on the theme, “White and pink—Emulating nature and beyond”. The challenge of colour matching with com- posite resins was spectacularly demonstrated by Dr Newton Fahl (Brazil), Dr Jack L. Ferracane (USA) and Dr Didier Dietschi (Switzerland). Clinical techniques and safety issues in state- of-the-art tooth whitening were well explained by Dr Linda Greenwall (UK) and Dr Yiming Li (USA). Special attention was given to obtaining credible results in monitoring tooth whitening using the newly introduced VITA Bleachedguide 3D-Master, with the inclusion of interpolated shade-guide Fig. 2 Fig. 3 The annual conference of the Society for Color and Appearance in Dentistry Author_Dr So Ran Kwon, USA Fig. 1
