DD Shade Guide – for reliable tooth shade determination

A pilot study shows that incorrect tooth shade determinations and related color corrections on dentures result in additional costs in the multi-digit million range per year for dental laboratories. This additional expenditure of money and time is not only a burden for the laboratories, but also for dentists and patients.

The DD Shade Guide – our answer to the problem of color determination and reproducibility of the color effect. Create your own DD Shade Guide, which is tailored to your materials and your own workflow (i.e. your individual handling, your staining system and in particular the factors relating to your sintering process) and determine the color directly with the respective supply. In this way, you minimize the risk of a prosthetic failure due to the wrong color determination.
