Vita has also revamped the physical shade guide- 3-D Master Guide and a new classic guide that is autoclavable. If you are using your ancient shade guide the colors may have changed- time for a new one.

Olympus - ~~CrystalEye~~ ~~a Shade scanner, camera and patient monitoring device~~ Stopped production

THE LADDER- a unique non digital approach to shade matching. This is a very different shade guide that uses photographs of subtle characteristics of teeth allowing the dentist to transmit concepts to the lab. It goes way beyond just "the shade". At about $250 (although your lab will need a copy too-you can get 2 for $400) you will save hours of remakes. www.4theladder.com
