The effect of refractive index of fillers and polymer matrix on translucency and color matching of dental resin composite

Objective When restorative resin composites absorb light from the surrounding tooth structures, it creates a color-match, which is known as ‘a chameleon effect’. In this study, series of co-monomer mixtures were prepared with an increasing refraction index (RI) and mixed with glass fillers. The aim...
