Sj. Paul et al., LIGHT TRANSMISSION OF COMPOSITE LUTING RESINS, The International journal of periodontics & restorative dentistry, 16(2), 1996, pp. 165-173
The final color of all-ceramic restorations is dependent on the surrou
nding structures and on the ceramic itself The degree that the layer o
f the composite luting agent contributes to this final color formation
can only be estimated. Based on general optical physics, this paper r
eports on transmissivity of some commercially available composite luti
ng resins and discusses how these theoretical results apply to clinica
l situations.
