Confirmation of theoretical colour predictions for layering dental composite materials

Conclusion This theory can predict the colour of layers of composite resin within acceptability limits and generally also within perceptibility limits. Clinical significance This theory could therefore be incorporated into computer-based optical measuring instruments that can automate the shade selections for layers of a more opaque first layer under a more translucent second layer for those clinical situations where an underlying background colour and a desirable final colour can be measured.
