Advanced design and
technology
|
|
|
|
|
|
One of the major advantages of the ClearVu LED
is that the distal part is extremely fine. Its design,
innovative look and restraint all mean that it fits perfectly
into all working environments without disrupting the way you are
used to doing things. |
|
|
|
|
|
A highly sophisticated optical unit and high quality
electronics which have been developed around a 1/4” CCD mean
that the ClearVu LED can offer you exceptional image quality. |
|
|
|
|
|
Whatever the selected position is, the image becomes clear
in a moment thanks to the very large depth of field the ClearVu
LED is offering you. 3 pre-selections available by clicking:
macro (1 to 5 mm), intra-oral (5 to 30 mm) and extra-oral (30 mm
to infinity). |
|
|
|
|
|
Optimise your images under all circumstances thanks to a
lighting system using 8 new generation LEDs which supply 50%
more light than conventional LEDs. |
|
|
|
|
|
In addition to video and S-video outputs, the Docking
station has a USB2 digital video output. |

When Image Meets Colour
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
Dentists have to choose colours every single day: ceramics,
composites or prosthetic teeth. This may appear very simple
but it actually requires the dentist to have scientific
knowledge, a practised eye and he must also stick to a very
specific procedure in order to obtain a satisfactory result.
|
|
|
3 key factors
to select the shade
1 The ambient lighting
The incident light must be neither too weak nor too strong (if
there is not enough light, no colour will come out, on the
opposite, too much light will erase the colours) but it must
contain all of the visible waves so that the tooth can correctly
reflect a part of the spectrum.
Artificial lighting: Dental lights, incandescent lamps and neon
lights with a narrow spectrum provide a light which is totally
unsuitable for distinguishing shades (colour T° between 4000 and
5500° K). The ideal thing being normalised lighting (e.g. Gamain
whose colour T° of 6500° K is close to that of daylight).
Natural lighting: Gives much better results but varies during
the day and depends on the atmospheric conditions. The
optimisation of a shade selection should be carried out in front
of a north-facing window with a slightly cloudy sky and
preferably around 11 a.m.
2 The dentist
His own perception, his visual fatigue (he will be less able to
make good choices at the end of the day), his experience
(sticking closely to a procedure optimises the reliability of
the choice) must be taken into consideration.
3
The surgery environment and
patient
The colour of the surrounding walls but also the interfering
bright colours of a scarf, a lipstick, of clothes as well as the
appearance and the state of the teeth which should always be
observed in a damp environment are factors influencing the shade
selection. |
|
|
| |
| |
|
ClearVU, the world leader in dental imaging has placed
its know-how at your service and is now offering the
ColourMatch concept. By combining a shade selection function
with the ClearVu LED intra-oral camera, we can now offer you
a unique product. Now you can really use your camera to help
you make your shade selection.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The camera’s eye
The camera has greater resolving power than the eye in
terms of hue. The eye is able to perceive around 2
million colors when the camera can perceive around 16
million.
So it is far more easily able to show up any small
differences in colors thus facilitating the elimination
process during the selection of the shade. In the same
way, the camera’s enlargement power makes the job a lot
easier and allows a better appraisal of the results
obtained. |

Optimised lighting
Tip: You will be surprised by the ergonomic, innovative
design of the autoclavable tip which is clipped onto the
head of the camera like a mask. Thanks to the mouthpiece
with which it is fitted, it prevents the camera from
slipping, making it easier for you to work and speeding
up the shade selection process.
Waveguide: This tip contains a sophisticated waveguide
developed exclusively for this product and which seals
you off from the outside environment and brings the
light in so that it is distributed evenly over the
tooth, thus doing away with any highlighting phenomena.
This gives you even light and an environment which is
always exactly the same. |
| |
|
|
The Dentist remains at
the heart of the system
Unlike the tools mentioned above, the ColourMatch
concept does not in any way replace your own know-how.
You are still the star of the show. You keep the same
tools and the same procedure – all ColourMatch does is
to help you and to make your choice more reliable. |
|
The clinical studies
We have carried out studies showing that ColourMatch is
at least as accurate as existing systems but that, on
the other hand, it is much easier to use, much quicker
and, above all, it is much less expensive and takes up
far less space as it comes free with the ClearVu LED. |

|
|
Communication
With your patient: The patient will be able to follow
the various stages and see the reasons behind your
selection. You will be able to discuss this with him
opposite the screen showing his tooth and the chosen
shade.
Your patient is involved in the choice and confirms your
selection. With your laboratory: The ColourMatch
concept is also an excellent tool for communication with
your dental laboratory as it allows you to send the
result of your selection as well as the different
elements necessary for the making of the prosthesis to
it directly on its computer. |

A 4 step function
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
Step 1: Place the camera in the
ColourMatch position .
Place the tip of the camera against the vestibular side
of the tooth, so that the latter’s incisal edge is
locked into the groove on the stabilising part of the
camera. |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
Step 2: Once you are satisfied with the image
shown on the screen, you just have to freeze it by
gently pressing the ColourMatch. The
left-hand side of the image is memorised in the
camera’s docking station. If this image is not
suitable for your purposes, all you have to do is
lightly press the SoproTouch again to take a new
one.
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
Step 3: Place the camera into the
ColourMatch position . Take your colour chart and
position the camera so that you can film the samples
whilst sticking to the colour chart manufacturer’s
recommended procedure. The comparison needs to be made
on the central region of the colour chart’s sample 1/3
of the way up the middle of the tooth. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Step 4: Once the result obtained is as close
as possible to the tooth’s natural colour, all you
have to do is lightly press the ColourMatch
again to freeze this image.
