When determining tooth color, whether in conservative dentistry or prosthetics, there are many variables: daylight, office lighting, operating lights, the color of the patient's clothing and office walls, and not least the individual perception of the dentist and dental technician! Often, getting the exact shade can be difficult, so a tool that eliminates the "external light" variable can be helpful.

The Optilume Trueshade is a lamp that develops a wavelength of exactly 5500 degrees Kelvin of color temperature with an intensity of 1800 lux. These parameters are considered the most suitable for choosing a correct color; the rest is up to the dentist's eye and the dental technician's skill!
