Vita Easyshade Lite Digital Shade / Dental Equipments

Vita Easyshade Lite

The VITA Easyshade LITE is a spectrophotometer that makes it possible to obtain a quick
and precise determination of tooth shade with one click. The compact design and simple
operation make it a practical tool for the precise shade determination of natural teeth using the tooth shade reference values of the VITA classical A1–D4 and VITA SYSTEM 3D-MASTER systems. Because of this, the VITA Easyshade LITE enables rapid and efficient dental treatment

• Precise determination of tooth shade in just two seconds;
• Easy operation.

Display of the measured values:

• Top line: Shows you the measured tooth shade in VITA SYSTEM 3D-MASTER.
• Bottom line: Shows you the measured tooth shade in VITA classical A1–D4.

Features

• Results in seconds: The clear result is shown in seconds on the display. Deviations in the natural tooth shade from shade standards are also visible at a glance. Rapid shade determination saves time and money.
• Simple and intuitive to use: Digital shade determination with the compact, ergonomic VITA Easyshade LITE is incredibly easy to use – with just one click, and without previous experience or background information.
• Precise tooth shade determination: The tooth shade is precisely determined thanks to high-precision spectrophotometer technology. Objectively and reproducibly, regardless of the ambient lighting. For greater process reliability and fewer complaints.
• Digital Shade Determination: Utilizes digital technology to accurately determine the shade of natural teeth, providing fast and precise results.
• Shade Systems Compatibility: Supports both the VITA classical A1-D4 and VITA SYSTEM 3D-MASTER shade systems, allowing for versatile shade matching options.
• High-Precision Spectrophotometer Technology: Uses advanced spectrophotometer technology to ensure precise tooth shade determination, delivering objective and reproducible results regardless of ambient lighting conditions.

How To Use

Inserting or changing batteries:

• Remove the top cover by simply pulling it off the handpiece.
• Pull gently on the battery removal strip to remove the right battery from the battery
  compartment.
• Remove the left battery by hand.
• Now place the battery removal strip into the battery compartment before inserting
  two new batteries (1.5V). When doing so, pay attention to the polarity shown on the
  battery compartment when inserting the batteries.
• Position the removal strip in the middle under the batteries and replace the top cover
  onto the housing.

Switching on:

• Press and hold the measurement button on the top of the instrument for two seconds.
• A start screen appears with information about the shade systems and the serial
  number of the instrument.

Overview of the display:

• When the measurement button is pressed again or calibration is performed, the display changes from the start screen to showing the last measured values.
• Measured values in VITA SYSTEM 3D-MASTER and VITA classical A1–D4 are given in the top two lines.
• You can see the charge status of the batteries under the measured values on the left.
• Change the batteries, when the indicator appears red. If a VITA Easyshade LITE symbol appears at the bottom right,  you must calibrate the instrument.

Disinfecting the measuring tip:

• The measuring tip of the VITA Easyshade LITE must be disinfected before each shade determination.
• The disinfecting wipes are not included in the scope of delivery.
• We recommend commercial disinfectant wipes that are especially suitable for medical equipment and
  sensitive surfaces. These can be purchased from most dental dealers.

Calibration (automatic white balance):

• After switching on, place the VITA Easyshade LITE in the calibration station with the tip flush on the calibration block.
• The VITA Easyshade LITE recognizes the calibration block and now performs the white balance automatically.
• The conclusion of the white balance is reported by two short signal tones. Following a successful white balance, the last measured value appears and the instrument is
  ready to use.
• If there is only a single signal tone, the white balance could not be correctly performed. In this case, an error message appears on the display. Repeat the white balance.

Correct measuring of the tooth shade:

• You can use the instrument to measure the base shade in the central tooth region. Follow the procedure described here as closely as possible to perform precise measurements with the VITA Easyshade LITE.
• Have your patient sit in the treatment chair and rest his or her head on a headrest for stabilization in order to achieve an accurate measurement.
• In the first step, consider the shade gradient of the tooth to be measured in order to correctly locate the center of the dentin.
• Then you must place the measuring tip in the area of the enamel surface with the underlying dentin (central to the cervical area). Finally, you should take care that the measuring tip lies as flat as possible on the tooth surface.
• While holding the measuring tip against the central dentin part of the tooth, press the measurement button.
• Hold the measuring tip against the tooth until two short consecutive signal tones mark the end of the measurement process. The VITA Easyshade LITE displays the measurement results.

Switching the device off:

• The VITA Easyshade LITE switches off automatically after two minutes of inactivity.
• If you wish to switch the device off manually, hold down the measuring button on the top of the device until the screen switches off.
• To switch the device on again, press the measuring button again. The white balance has to be performed again.
