VITA® classical A1 – D4

VITAPAN classical A1 – D4 is a shade guide for determining the shade of teeth. VITA classical A1 – D4 shade guide brought onto the market by VITA Zahnfabrik over 50 years ago.

The arrangement of the shades in the VITA classical family of shades is as follows:

A1 – A4
reddish-brownish

reddish-yellowish

greyish shades

D2 – D4
reddish-grey

Tips for shade-taking:

  • Determine tooth shades if possible in daylight or standardized daylight lamps and not under normal ambient lighting.
  • The entire surroundings should be kept free from bright colours. If necessary, ask the patient to remove lipstick, etc., and cover brightly coloured clothing with a grey cape/overall.
  • Make your choice quickly, always accept the first decision since the eyes begin to tire after approx. 5–7 seconds.
