At Aim Dental Laboraotry, we use the ClearMatch® shade matching software. The ClearMatch system uses patented technology to correct color, or normalize, images acquired with any digital camera. Based on normalization standards within the image, ClearMatch analyzes and maps those images for value and shade. It automatically transmits that data along with any comments or descriptors from the dentist to the laboratory and vice versa via the internet.
ClearMatch shade analysis software uses special technology called Image Analysis. It requires a special handheld “Black and Whte Standard” along with any shade tab – both of which need to be seen in the picture.
