IS MY RAYPLICKER HANDY DEVICE INFLUENCED BY THE EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT?

No, the Rayplicker Handy device is not influenced by the external environment thanks to the calibration tip positioned at the top of the measuring head.

However, if the positioning of this tip is too far from the reference tooth, it no longer acts as a darkroom and the outside light will interfere in the shade taking. It is essential that the grey calibration tip remains in contact with the adjacent teeth and the gingiva.

If a retractor is used (to get access to posterior teeth for example), it is recommended to take the shade in a low light environment. We advise you to follow the following recommendations:

• Remove the dental operating light from the patient’s mouth or turn it off,
• Your patient should have his back to the window in case of direct sun exposure.
