Traditional vs. Nextsum

The Challenges of Visual Shade Matching

Traditional Visual Matching

Highly subjective and prone to errors. Traditional methods require strict conditions: drying the tooth, relying on natural daylight rather than surgical lights, and making rapid decisions before eye fatigue sets in (usually within 5 to 7 seconds). Results are also easily skewed by background colors, patient clothing, or lipstick.

Nextsum Method

Objective, photoelectric color comparison. Utilizing a state-of-the-art spectrophotometer, this method eliminates environmental variables, background color impact, and operator subjectivity, delivering a perfect shade match every time.
