Vita prides itself on
being the world expert in shade determination.
They are so good at it, every dental product manufacturer uses the
Vita classical shade system. Now there is the Vita 3D Master shade
system which has just improved the way we take shades.
Here at
TLC when we take a custom shade we use a three-phase system, we
use an electronic shade taking device (Vita Easyshade), we take
a manual shade 3D Master to verify the electronic shade diagnosis,
we use Vita specialty shade tabs for specific colours and we finally
take digital photos. |
