Dentists already using VITA Assist PC will be pleased, since the new scanner seamlessly interfaces via Bluetooth with the software.

“The data can be combined with a digital photo in order to document the initial situation as well as the individual characteristics of the patient’s teeth and then sent to the dental technician or patient,” the news release says.

The VITA Easyshade V should prove useful for dentists and labs that need accurate selection of shade for CAD/CAM materials, and that make layered crowns, prosthetic teeth, direct filling material and veneers.

With natural dentition, the VITA Easyshade V can take basic shade measurement, average shade measurement and tooth area measurement across all worldwide established standard shade systems.
