Read color codes and L*a*b*
The information on the display of your phone is very clear and shows always the L*a*b* coordinates of the measured tooth and compares it with the values of the closest shade in the color guides database.
Compare and evaluate
Check objectively the quality of your restoration or the efficacy of your bleaching treatments. Anyone from the laboratory or the dental team can do it.
L* scale: Light vs. dark, 100 is white and 0 is black.
b* scale: Yellow vs. blue, where a positive number indicates yellow and a negative number indicates blue.
a* scale: Red vs. green, where a positive number indicates red and a negative number indicates green.
In the dental field, color coordinates are extremely easy to read, as we virtually only have to take care about brightness, red (a*) and yellow (b*). It is very uncommon to “visit” the negative numbers.
The L*a*b* scales rise above language barriers enabling anyone to easily communicate color and it provides the necessary information to calculate color differences.
OPTISHADE STYLEITALIANO communicates in Lab coordinates and LCH, making the communication very intuitive and precise.

Optishade and Matisse, match color easy!
Learn how to get the perfect shade matching:
Details from the Matisse Software screen. The Matisse, software calculated for this case the framework, dentin mix for the different areas and skin enamel.
Color was dark (L* 64.5), quite red (b* 4.6) and strongly yellow (b*22.4) and when comparing to the database the closest match was an A4. Technician tends not to look at the color scale, but at the L*a*b* coordinates in order to reproduce the perfect ceramic match with the help of Matisse Software.
Ceramic Zirconia bridge was fabricated by MDT Willi Clavijo, with Kata Zirconia structure (Noritake, Japan) and layered with E.Max Ceram (Ivoclar, Lichtenstein) using the indications of Matisse software.
After removing the old temporary, the teeth were prepared. The choice of a fixed bridge was done because the teeth had multiple restorations and the edentulous area was far from ideal for implant.
Final aspect of the restoration. Technician never saw the patient, and the restoration was a virtual excellent match (Under 1.6 DE94) with the first try-in. The dentist and the patient were very happy with the final aspect.
Color comparison of the Natural teeth vs the prosthetic work. Further restorative work will be done to the patient.
