Overview: Use the Vita Classical shade guide to ensure mill-to-shade accuracy and reduce the risk of restoration refabrications.
Recommended Shade Guides
Dandy utilizes specific shade guides to ensure the highest quality color matching for various clinical needs.
Primary Shade Guide Recommendation
Dandy’s preferred shade guide is the Vita Classical. This guide is the standard for most restorative procedures.
Specialty Shade Guide Options
Ivoclar Vivadent Bleach Shade Guide: Use this guide for patients whose teeth are whiter than the shades available in the Vita Classical guide.
Ivoclar Natural Die: Use this guide for capturing accurate stump shades.
Reasons to Use Vita Classical
The Vita Classical shade guide is prioritized to minimize complexity and ensure technical accuracy during the manufacturing process.
Manufacturing Alignment
All material pucks are manufactured to align specifically with Classical shades. When a doctor selects a shade from the Vita Classical guide, the restoration is milled directly from a matching material puck.
Reduced Refabrication Risk
Other systems, such as the Vita 3D Master, require a manual conversion process to the Classical system. This conversion adds complexity and increases the likelihood of errors. Data shows that doctors using the Vita 3D Master guide are 20% more likely to request a shade-related refabrication after the first order.
Purchasing and Support Resources
Practice materials and additional guidance are available to assist with shade capture.
Where to Buy
You can purchase the Vita Classical shade guide and other essential practice materials directly from the Dandy Shop at any time.
