Abstract

Color is considered one of the most important determinants of esthetics in dentistry. Moreover, color is a basic criterion according to which dental materials are classified as esthetic or unesthetic. Unfortunately, color reproduction presents a relatively complex task, unlike the other essential determinants of esthetics (shape, size, and position of a tooth) which are easier to harmonize with the remaining natural teeth. Improper color of a restoration is frustrating to the patient as well as to the dentist. Understanding color requires learning its language. Thus, proper color matching depends on thorough knowledge of the fundamentals of color.
