Zirkonzahn Shade Guides
With
the new Zirkonzahn Shade Guides, the patient's tooth colour can be precisely
determined on the basis of monolithic sample teeth made of zirconia. In this
way, it is possible to determine the most suitable Prettau®
Dispersive® zirconia material in a safe and quick manner. The colour
spectrum is inspired by the VITA classic range, comprised of 16 dentine colours
(A1-D4) and 3 bleach shades. The sample teeth are monolithic and glazed with 3D
Base Glaze. Colour theory shows that shape and surface structure considerably
influence the colour effect. Striving for perfection, we build our shade guides
in all respective Prettau® Dispersive® zirconia
materials, in the shape of a premolar as well as lower and upper incisor.
One-to-One Function: If the material of the shade guide and the material of the zirconia prosthesis are identical, it is ensured that the colour of the zirconia restoration corresponds 1:1 with the natural tooth colour of the patient. For individualists, the shade guides are also available with minimally reduced, sintered sample teeth (minimal cutback), which can be further characterised by the application of different incisal materials. This results in truly unique shade guides that precisely reflect individual approaches and aesthetic demands.

For
the dental practice, we recommend using our specially developed Zirkonzahn
Shade Guide Prettau® Line in the shape of a premolar as well as a
lower and upper incisor
(also with minimal cutback for individual characterisation), to
identify easily the natural tooth colour on the patient.
