For over a decade, VITA Easyshade has stood for objective digital tooth shade determination. Since its market launch in 2004, the spectrophotometer for determining tooth shade has continued to be been further developed. Currently, the fifth generation of the digital shade determination device is available in the form of VITA Easyshade V. The developers of the Easyshade V, have long since gone beyond being focused solely on shade determination. Today, VITA Easyshade is a complete, multifunctional system that supports dentists and dental technicians with everything from tooth shade determination and communication, to reproduction and checking the shade of the finished ceramic dental restoration.
