Direct
composite restorations have been and will continue to
be a restorative
option for a considerable number of anterior reconstructive
cases. To achieve the optimal esthetic and functional result,
the clinician must have a comprehensive knowledge of adhesive
dentistry, including the properties of composite resins, proper
tooth preparation techniques, the optical properties of the
natural tooth, and the four dimensions of color. This presentation
demonstrates the polychromatic layering of color through the
correct implementation of materials and techniques to fabricate
restorations
that are harmonious with the opposing dentition. Continuing
technological breakthroughs allow the clinician to implement
and maximize new products in attaining more predictable and
aesthetic results as demonstrated by this methodological protocol
of incremental application of composite
resins and modifiers to create a final restoration that
mimics nature.

Understanding The Dimensions Of Color - This
right side of the brain description and re-defining of color
into primary and secondary optical properties gives the clinician
a better understanding of developing color in restorations
from "inside out."

|
|
- Primary Optical Properties - Hue, Chroma, and Value
- Secondary Optical Properties - Translucency, Opacity,
Opalescence, Iridescence, Fluorescence, and Surface Glos

In the art and science of
direct bonding, the clinician continues to strive for
the ultimate tooth colored direct restorative material. Considerable
progress in adhesive technology and composite resin materials
allows for the creation of esthetic restorations that not
only preserves, but also reinforces tooth structure. This
learning process develops the clinician's chair side skills,
and the ability to communicate and interpret information to
the laboratory technician and patient.
Direct bonding!
Many clinicians think its just adding composite to a tooth,
but it is much more! It is understanding color of the substrate,
the optical properties of light, the different restorative
materials and their thickness and how this influences color
and even the refractive indexes of each of these and how they
interrelate. And by having an understanding of the dimensions
of color and developing our senses through observation of
nature we can begin to create more lifelike restorations in
both the direct and the indirect world! And most important
we can begin to appreciate and understand the ceramist and
the information that the ceramist needs because many times
the ceramist only has the "Stone Model Without a Face
or Personality."
