The VITA Linearguide 3D-MASTER Shade Guide is a dental tool that simplifies and streamlines the process of selecting the perfect tooth shade for dental procedures. This innovative shade guide is a valuable addition to the VITA SYSTEM 3D-MASTER, offering a fast and precise method for achieving accurate shade matching. With its ergonomic design and systematic organization, the Linearguide facilitates a two-step approach to determine the correct tooth shade: Step 1: Begin by using the VITA Valueguide 3D-MASTER to make an initial choice by comparing shade samples to the natural tooth. This step allows for the determination of the degree of lightness on a scale from 0 to 5. Step 2: After identifying the degree of lightness in step 1, you proceed to make a detailed choice within that range using the corresponding VITA Chroma/Hueguide. This step provides precise information about the chroma and hue of the selected tooth shade. The Linearguide's systematic arrangement and modern design make the selection process self-explanatory and efficient. It includes 26 natural tooth shades and three additional shades for tooth whitening (VITA Bleached Shades) to cater to a wide range of dental procedures. Additionally, it offers the flexibility to create intermediate shades by mixing, enabling customization to meet unique patient requirements.
