Translucency thresholds for dental materials
The increased demand of patients for highly esthetic restorations has driven the development of dental materials with suitable optical properties. Translucency is an important property of dental tissues and materials. Thus, an appropriate determination and communication of optical properties should include translucency, in addition to more popular parameters such as: lightness (L*), a* and b* (CIELAB coordinates), hue angle (h °) and chroma (C*).
