Color Science and Its Application in Dentistry

This first chapter presents the basic principles of color science and their application to dentistry. It includes color coordinates, color differences, whiteness indexes, and the most relevant optical properties such as transmittance, absorption, scattering, fluorescence, translucency, and opacity. Measuring and evaluating methods are described and relevant literature and standards are reported. Therefore, this chapter is essential to understand color science and optical properties, assisting any dental professional in performing and interpreting color science studies, improving the practice of esthetic dentistry by applying such knowledge to design and manufacture restorative material systems and, finally, to restore the missing dental structures.
