CompoShade vs TrueShade

Composite layering recipes are guidelines used in dental restoration procedures, specifically for creating aesthetic composite restorations. These recipes provide step-by-step instructions on how to layer different types of composite materials to achieve a desired color and translucency that closely mimics natural teeth. CompoShade provides composite layering recipes, offering a valuable starting point for dental professionals. However, it is ultimately up to these experts to assess and determine whether these recipes are suitable and effective for each specific application and patient case. Their professional judgment is essential in adapting and fine-tuning these recipes to meet the unique requirements of each dental restoration. CompoShade is designed EXCLUSIVELY for use with Micerium Enamel Plus HRi and Enamel Plus Biofunction composites using Optishade Styleitaliano dental color measurements. Please note that Optishade Styleitaliano is the only dental colorimeter compatible with this application. With support for various layering strategies, ranging from 1 to 4 shades or optimized layering techniques, CompoShade offers multiple recipe options. Each recipe is rated for color accuracy, providing invaluable insights into the likelihood of successfully replicating the desired shade. CompoShade shows also the unsuitability of the composite materials for achieving the target colors. This preemptive feedback enables practitioners to make informed decisions and optimize outcomes before commencing the restoration process. The OptiShade device must be equipped with the Composite Upgrade Pack and the user needs additional training. For precise workflow and information, please refer to the StyleItaliano website.

TrueShade helps you find the closest shade for a tooth, using nothing but your iPhone's camera. Aim at a tooth and TrueShade shows the closest matches from the standard shade guides, along with how far each one is from what the camera saw. You get a clear starting point, and the numbers to back it up. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Live shade matching: point the camera at a tooth and see the closest shades as you move. • Analyze a photo: pick an image from your library and match it any time. • AR shade overlays: float shade tabs next to the tooth to compare them by eye. • Save and share: keep a reading, add a note, and share it as a clean shade report. • Compare readings: set two saved readings side by side, such as before and after whitening. FOR BEST RESULTS Soft, even daylight works best. Colored lamps, screens and the flash all pull the color off, so try to take readings the same way each time. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything happens on your iPhone. No account, no uploads, and no internet connection needed. Your readings stay on your device unless you choose to share them. PLEASE NOTE TrueShade gives an estimate for reference and education. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose or treat anything. Color changes with lighting, camera and screen, so always confirm the final shade with a physical shade guide and your own judgment.
