Abstract
The invention concerns a process for the approach to an oriented relative position between a camera or scanning device and a dental assistance element (), in particular via an app on a smartphone, for recording the dental assistance element (), such as a miniature shade guide (). A mark () is attached to the dental assistance element (), and/or at least one part of the dental assistance element () is used as a mark (). A stencil () which is congruent with or mathematically similar to the mark () is displayed on a display device of the camera or scanning device. For the approach to the oriented relative position between the camera or scanning device and the dental assistance element, a modification of the degree of coverage of the stencil () with the mark () or the one part of the dental assistance element () is detected.
