TRAZATONO
Photo-verified dental shade selection
Replace physical shade guides with a digital system that standardizes color communication between surgeon and lab. No ambiguity, no remakes.
What is TrazaTono

The problem it solves
Physical guides = subjective interpretation
A surgeon says "A2" and the technician interprets a different A2 under different light. Physical guides degrade, ambient light shifts perception, and the result is the most common remake in restorative dentistry: shade mismatch. TrazaTono eliminates subjectivity.
DIGITAL SHADE SYSTEM
TrazaTono replaces physical guides with a digital shade selection interface. The surgeon picks the shade on screen and the system links that selection to a clinical photo of the patient — the lab receives the value and the visual evidence, never one without the other.
Supported shade guide systems:
VITA Classical
16 shades — A1-A4, B1-B4, C1-C4, D2-D4
VITA 3D-Master
26 shades — Lightness, chroma, hue
Ivoclar Chromascop
20 shades in 5 groups

Key fact: TrazaTono integrates with Photo Gates. The shade field is locked until the corresponding clinical photo is uploaded. There is no way to send a shade value without its visual evidence.
STANDARDIZED COMMUNICATION
It does not matter which shade system the surgeon uses — TrazaTono translates the selection into a format the lab understands without ambiguity. The technician sees the exact value, the reference system, and the clinical photo in a single panel.
Selection interface
How to select the right shade
TrazaTono provides a visual shade guide interface with side-by-side comparison against the clinical photo. It supports multiple shade zones for complex cases with gradients and characterizations.
SIDE-BY-SIDE COMPARISON
The screen splits in two: on the left, the clinical photo of the patient. On the right, the shade guide from the selected system. The surgeon can visually compare before confirming their choice — eliminating reliance on memory or ambient lighting.
SHADE ZONES — MAPPING BY DENTAL ZONE
CERVICAL ZONE
A3.5 — VITA Classical
BODY ZONE
A2 — VITA Classical
INCISAL ZONE
A1 — VITA Classical

MAPPING FOR COMPLEX CASES
In complex restorations, a single shade is not enough. TrazaTono lets you assign a different shade to each zone (cervical, body, incisal) and add characterization notes — coffee stains, hairline crack lines, mamelons, incisal translucency — all documented for the technician.
CUSTOM NOTES FOR THE TECHNICIAN
Beyond zone-based shade selection, the surgeon can write specific instructions: "Natural gradient from A3.5 cervical to A1 incisal, slight translucency at incisal edge, pronounced surface texture." The technician receives this alongside the photo and values.
Quick flow: For simple cases (a single uniform shade), the surgeon selects a color and confirms. In under 15 seconds the shade is documented with a photo. For complex cases, zone mapping takes under one minute.
TECHNICIAN VIEW
The lab technician sees a consolidated panel: clinical photo, selected shade system, value per zone, and characterization notes. All in one place, no need to dig through emails or attached PDFs.
Connection to the order
The shade travels with the evidence
TrazaTono is not a standalone tool. Shade data integrates directly into the clinical order through Photo Gates. The lab receives the value AND the visual reference — the number 1 cause of remakes disappears.
PHOTO GATES INTEGRATION
The shade field in the order is protected by a Photo Gate. Until the surgeon uploads the shade photo, they cannot select the color. When they do, TrazaTono activates: the selected shade and the photo become permanently linked in the order.

WHAT THE LAB RECEIVES
In every order with TrazaTono, the technician receives: (1) The clinical shade photo taken by the surgeon. (2) The selected guide system (e.g. VITA Classical). (3) The shade value per zone (cervical, body, incisal). (4) Characterization notes if any. All linked, all verifiable.
ELIMINATING THE #1 CAUSE OF REMAKES
28% of restorative remakes are due to shade mismatch. Most happen because the lab receives only a shade code without visual context, or because shade interpretation changes between clinic and lab. TrazaTono closes that gap by linking the digital prescription with photographic evidence.
Permanent record: Every shade selection is recorded in the order history. If the patient returns for an additional restoration years later, the surgeon can look up the exact shade that was used — with the original photo included.
EXCLUSIVE TO TRAZALAB
TrazaTono is not a generic color picker. It is a shade communication system designed for the surgeon-lab workflow, with mandatory photographic verification and permanent linking to the clinical order. No equivalent exists in PDF forms or generic platforms.
