Zirkonzahn Shade Guides – Monolithic zirconia shade guides identical to the final restoration

With the new Zirkonzahn Shade Guides, composed of monolithic zirconia sample teeth, the patient's individual tooth colour can now be determined by selecting the matching Prettau® Dispersive® zirconia material. The colour spectrum is inspired by the VITA classic range, comprised of 16 dentine shades (A1-D4) and three 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 crown 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.

The Zirkonzahn Shade Guide Prettau® Line was developed especially for use in the dental practice to identify easily the natural tooth colour on the patient.
