The Vitapan 3D-Master shade system provides a systematic arrangement of virtually all existing natural tooth shades and integrates them into one easy-to-use shade guide. Thereby inproving colour communication between dentist and dental technician. |
Colours can be clearly defined scientifically through a three dimensional model based on lightness, chroma and hue. On the left: Tooth shades are situated in this segment. This space encompasses all natural tooth colours. |
Until now tooth colours have lacked organized distribution in the tooth colour space, with either voids in colour coverage or heavy concentrations of several colours. | The Vitapan 3D-Master shade system has been devised so that the most frequently occuring natural tooth shadesare concentrated in the centre of the colour space. |
Vitapan 3D-Master thereby offers complete and systematic coverage of tooth colour, easy handling during colour selection by proceeding in systematic steps and provides a high degree of confidence with regard to colour determination colour communication and colour reproduction. |
1. Select the value(lightness)from the five value groupswhich is closest to the tooth being compared. Pull out the medium shade sample (M) from this group. |
|
2. Select the shade sample of the M-group which is closest to the tooth being compared. | |
3. Check wether the natural tooth is more yellowish (L) or more reddish (R) than the shade sample of tke M-group selected in part 2. Select the best matching shade sample. |
All data is then entered on the easy-to-use Colour Communication Form.
The plastic parts of the Vitapan 3D-Master Tooth\Colour guide consist of high-quality, temperature-resistant, easy-care material. The complete shade guide can be sterilised in the autoclave up to a maximum temperature of 140 degrees C (284 degrees F) and are also suitable for surface disinfection.
