    Determining the lightness level (value)
    • Hold shade guide at arm’s length
    to the patient’s mouth (see right figure)
    • Select group 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5
    • Start selection with darkest group first

    Selecting the chroma
    • On the basis of the determined
    lightness level, choose the middle
    hue group (M) to determine the chroma
    and spread the samples out like a fan
    • Select one of the three shade samples

    Determining the hue
    • Check whether the natural tooth
    is more reddish or more yellowish as
    compared to the shade sample selected

    See back for details!

    Determining intermediate values


    An even more precise method of shade determination is possible by specifying the lightness and
    chroma of intermediate shades. Use the two neighboring shades to confirm that the correct tooth
    color is neither the one shade or the other.

    e.g. 4.5M2 as intermediate shade (lightness) 4M2 and 5M2


    2M1.5 as intermediate shade (chroma) 2M1 and 2M2

    The intermediate shades can also be noted on the communication form.

    All shade samples belonging to a lightness level (0-5) have the same lightness value
    (see photograph). Differences within a lightness level reflect the various degrees of chroma
    and hue. These are determined in steps 2 and 3.

    The objective in step 1 is to determine the correct lightness level (0-5) and not the single
    shade of the sample tooth (1 out of 29).

    All shade samples of an M-group feature the same hue and lightness.
    Only the chroma varies.

    Tips for shade-taking:

    • Shade-taking should be carried out before the preparation. Dehydration after the
    preparation makes the shade appear to be too white.

    • Tooth shades should be determined in daylight or under standardized


    daylight lamps (5000 K) and not under operation lamps.

    • Because eyes usually tire after 5 -7 seconds, it is recommended


    to make a selection quickly and to accept the first decision.

    • Avoid bright colors in the shade-taking environment, i.e. no lipstick,


    tinted eyeglasses, no bright-colored clothes.

    Hygiene tips and instructions for care:


    The acrylic parts of your VITA Toothguide 3D-MASTER® guide are made of a high-quality,
    easy-care material that is temperature-resistant (up to 180 °C). The entire Toothguide can be
    autoclaved at a temperature of up to max. 140 °C.

    Disinfection:
    The VITA Toothguide 3D-MASTER® can be surface disinfected. We recommend customary,
    mild spray disinfectant or disinfectant wipes. According to the manufacturers' product infor-
    mation these disinfectants are effective against HIV and HBV, and are available from most
    dental dealers. Please heed the respective manufacturer's instructions for use. Disinfectants
    containing phenol, compounds with phenylphenol groups or methyl ethyl ketone will damage
    the acrylic parts.

    Note:
    The acrylic parts of the VITA Toothguide 3D-MASTER® are neither monomer- nor UV-resistant
    and must be protected from intense sunlight.
