red dot award: product design 2009

The Linearguide 3D-Master helps to select the right tooth colour, which is of great importance for patients when the natural tooth has to be reproduced. By using a systematically structured colour system the shadeguide enables the dentist to determine the individually correct tooth colour in just two steps, thus providing a reliable and easy-to-use tool. The concept phase focused on the product’s self-explanatory quality and quality of form, which is reflected in the reduced, elegant and well-thought-out design. Adjusted to the daily requirements in a dental practice, the central part, which holds the tooth guides and can be sterilised as required, is opened by simply sliding apart the two plastic shells that make up the two halves of the body.
