X-Rite ShadeVision System

Point. Send. Match. Smile.

Shade selection is an area in restorative dentistry that seems to pose a handful of problems. There seems to be a complex amount of information that has to be addressed for successful shade matching. To eliminate some of the confusion on where to start when holding a shade guide in one hand and seeing a multitude of colours coming from the patient’s teeth we have to create a systematic procedure that is consistent to all shade matching.

Here at Mitech, we have chosen to improve communication between the dentist and the laboratory by adopting the X-Rite® ShadeVision® System. The ShadeVision® System eliminates the subjectivity of the human eye, improves communication between the dentist and the laboratory, and gives the laboratory the ability to control the colour accuracy of the restoration prior to placement in the patient’s mouth.
