Abstract
Recent research and development of ceramic restoration materials have given a whole new range of possibilities within the field of dental aesthetics. However, to profit from these new opportunities, dentists and dental technicians will find it necessary to reconsider their previous concepts about colour perception as well as the techniques to achieve it.
Making a changeover to new and unfamiliar ways might seem complicated but think of how much energy we have actually spent trying to fight nature during the years in working with dental ceramics. New materials and know-how, when mastered, do simplify getting things right to a great extent. Because these materials respond to varying light conditions in very similar ways like in the natural tooth, it is now within our reach to create illusions where the human eye is unable to tell the difference between natural structures and ceramic imitations.
With new material and treatments, we now strive to treat all patients with minimal pigments and minimally invasive approaches.
