Tooth bleaching now plays a central role in esthetic demands at the dental practice. Yet its progression often remains difficult to predict and its evaluation challenging to quantify, as it is still largely influenced by visual perception, lighting conditions, the clinical environment and patient subjectivity.

In this context, the ability to objectify and structure bleaching treatment follow-up has become a key issue.

A clear visualization of treatment progress

The bleaching module integrated into Vision Shade Scan has been designed to support practitioners throughout the entire protocol. It first enables the definition of a realistic treatment plan through predictive analysis, then helps demonstrate treatment effectiveness by offering a didactic and scientific visualization of tooth shades before and after the procedure. Treatment progression can be monitored session after session, supported by the integration of clinical photographs.

This approach provides an immediate and educational reading of esthetic transformations for both practitioner and patient.

Objectivity through spectrophotometry

The clinical value of the module is fully revealed when combined with Cobra Shade Scan. Thanks to spectrophotometry, shade variations can be measured objectively, independently of perceptual bias.

Colorimetric analysis relies on reliable data, notably expressed through Lab* values and the Vita Bleachedguide 3D-MASTER scale. Bleaching outcomes are no longer based solely on visual impressions, but on quantifiable and reproducible measurements.

Quantifying for better monitoring and communication

Quantifying shade differences allows precise evaluation of the intensity of changes and, if necessary, adjustment of the clinical protocol. It also serves as a valuable communication tool, making results demonstrable and easier for patients to understand.

Seamless integration within vision shade scan

Fully integrated into Vision Shade Scan, the bleaching module naturally fits within the Borea digital ecosystem. Instrumental measurement, clinical visualization, photographs and reports are centralized within a single environment, ensuring a smooth and efficient workflow at the practice.
