Image Synchronization
Remember that synchronization is a very powerful function of the SpectroShade system
software. For example, synchronizing allows you to compare: two images of the same
tooth taken before and after a procedure, a tooth and a crown, or the same tooth before
and after bleaching treatments. After synchronizing images, a reading can be displayed
that compare the shade difference of the two images.
Synchronization refers to the function of overlapping one image onto another for comparison purposes. This is necessary so that SpectroShade can align the colorimetric datapoints of the two images.
