YORBA LINDA, Calif., March 1, 2023 — Tooth shade determination is a key factor in the esthetic outcome and success of patient restorations. However, visual shade determination can be inconsistent and can depend on a variety of factors, such as the viewer’s perception, the lighting and what the patient is wearing. Digital shade determination is more reliable and accurate, and has become the industry standard worldwide. VITA was one of the original pioneers of digital tooth shade determination systems that cover the complete range of natural tooth shades, starting with its world-renowned VITA classical^® A1-D4 shade guide and its proprietary VITA SYSTEM 3D-MASTER^®. And now, VITA is proud to introduce VITA Easyshade LITE, a new, compact and economical digital shade measuring device that is highly precise and easy to use.

The VITA Easyshade LITE uses high-precision spectrophotometer technology to display the right tooth shade in just two seconds, in both the established shades systems VITA classical^® A1-D4 and VITA SYSTEM 3D-MASTER^®. A color-coded display that utilizes the traffic light principle clearly indicates the accuracy of the shade match: if the tooth shade is green, the match is perfect. If the shade match is not exact, a yellow or red tooth shade is displayed with an indication of how strongly the indicated shade deviates from the measured natural tooth. VITA Easyshade LITE provides objective, accurate results with the simple touch of a button. Streamlined communication between dentists and technicians is also an added benefit.

VITA is a leading provider of innovative dental products. The company pioneered the field of tooth shade determination with the development of the world-renowned VITA classical^® A1-D4 shade guide and its proprietary VITA SYSTEM 3D-MASTER^®, the first and only system of its kind that covers the complete range of natural tooth shades.  From premium denture teeth and veneering materials, to digital shade measurement, furnaces and CAD/CAM restorations, VITA helps laboratory technicians and clinicians deliver high quality and esthetic results to patients quickly and efficiently.
