Results: In this study the case group showed significant progress in results Their score varied in various tests from the minimum 0.9 to the maximum 9.2 . According to the results, training effect of the scad software method was better than conventional method in Color differentiation in Exact Match II/100 (P,0.0001) and from statistical point of view it has been improved shade matching ability rather than conventional method as much as 6 score. Also Difference in Matching Pair Total Light & Dark /29 evaluation was statisticaly significant that means after training , scad group had less wrong Diagnosis than control group. (P,0.001) Conclusion:Training with scad software had significant effect on increasing the accuracy of students shade matching abbility.
