VITA Easyshade^®

• VITA   Easyshade is a spectrophotometer. A defined light is passed into the tooth   and the remission spectrum measured.

 ...... the measurement result?

• The measuring tip will not be damaged when used normally, so the quality of the measurement results is maintained.

• In restoration mode, selecting "User-Standards" and saving the measurement provides an approximation of classical and 3D shades for ceramic restorations.

• Easyshade automatically offsets external influences and any aging processes. However, the calibration block and the measuring tip must always be clean and undamaged (e.g. no scratches). Poor measurement results are often caused by calibration blocks that are not clean.

• Measurement can be performed without the anti-infection cover. In this case, the device must be properly disinfected after each patient.
  
  
  
  
  
  

• Determining   tooth shade is a very subjective procedure. That is why visual tooth shade   determination on the same tooth by different people also delivers different   results. Studies have shown only approximately 16% correspondence between the   shades taken by three different dental professionals.

This could be due to the following:

• The measurement location is not at the center of the basic shade
• Extreme tooth properties or discoloration

• This can lead to incorrect measurement.

• Due to the optical principle adopted by Easyshade, measurement can be performed through a thin sheet without affecting the measurement result.
