4.2 Measurement of the basic shade on a natural tooth
In order to measure the base shade of a natural tooth, highlight the basic tooth
shade measurement icon in the measurement menu and confirm by pressing
the enter button. Press the measurement button and place the probe tip
aligned flush in the dentine centre of the tooth. Measurement takes place
without further inter-action as soon as the unit is positioned firmly on the tooth
surface. After completion of a measurement, the VITA Easyshade generates an
acoustic signal. You can choose how the measurement result is displayed:
the tooth shade, the shade of a suitable VITABLOC or the bleached shade.
Note:
The patient's head should be leaned back during the measurement.
Ideally, the measuring is performed while the patient is sitting in the dentist's
chair.
4.2.1 Display of the natural tooth shade
To display the measured tooth shade, please select the tooth icon in the lower
area of the display – if this has not been set already.
The measurement results are shown as VITA classical and VITA SYSTEM
3D-MASTER shades. All 16 VITA classical A–D4 and 29 shades of the VITA
SYSTEM 3D-MASTER (Basic Level) can be measured in this mode.
To receive more detailed information on the measured VITA classical A1–D4
shade, move the selection highlighting to the displayed classical shade using
the navigation buttons, and then press the selection key enter button.
This will take you to the detail screen.
In the detail screen, the shade codes behind the arrow icon -> are information
about the nearest tooth shades. A detailed description of the screen can be
found in section 7.
