Color management of cosmetic restorations
Current Opinion in Cosmetic Dentistry
|January 1, 1995
Abstract:
Ideally, a cosmetic restoration should be indistinguishable from the surrounding unrestored dentition. The cosmetic dentist faces the challenging task of creating the restoration using materials that do not possess the light-transmitting properties of natural tooth structures. A thorough knowledge of the physical and physiologic properties of light, color production and perception, and skill in the art of color matching can lead to rewarding success.
