AdDent’s Rite-Lite PRO Multispectral, HI-CRI Shade Matching Light offers multi-spectra HI CRI LEDs, three intensity levels, a black light setting for matching restorations to the natural dentition fluorescence, and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery.
Shades taken at the dental office or lab are frequently done using north white light (5,500 K). The problem arises when patients go home and look in their mirror under incandescent or ambient lighting conditions. The shade may look a little off, AdDent said.
The Rite-Lite PRO has three color temperatures plus a black light spectrum. The operator takes the shade with 5,500 K and then verifies the shade match under incandescent (3,900 K) and ambient (3,200 K) and black light. The chosen shade should match in all four wavelengths. Based on the principle of Metamerism, an accurate shade match is thereby confirmed.
The patented Rite-Lite PRO will save on embarrassing and costly remakes and ensure that the restoration looks natural under all lighting conditions, according to AdDent.
