Acteon North America
By combining a shade selection function with the Sopro 717 camera, a camera aids in making shade selection. The benefits of a LED camera are combined with the features and image quality of a halogen camera. It has the smallest camera head and offers macro, intraoral, and extraoral functions. SoproShade is quick and easy to use, less expensive, and takes up far less space, as it comes with the Sopro 717. With a single click, the intraoral camera turns into a tool that helps make shade selection. For more information, call (800) 289-6367.

VITA Linearguide 3D-MASTER

The VITA Linearguide 3D-MASTER enables the quick determination of precise tooth shades and uses the same scientific principles found in the popular VITA 3D-Master shade guide. The Line-arguide features a sleeker, linear design that makes the process of precise shade determination even faster and easier. In two simple steps the final shade is achieved, first by selecting from 5 value tabs, then by choosing the proper mix of chroma and hue within the selected value range.
