title: Spectral fluorescence of direct anterior restorative materials.
abstract: The fluorescent characteristics of silicate cements, acrylic resins, and composite resins and all anterior restorative materials have been compared with the natural teeth when specimens were submitted to ultra-violet radiation. The effect of glazes on composite resins and of discolouration from ultra-violet radiation on composites and acrylic resins is to reduce the amount of fluorescence of the former and to change the quality of the fluorescence.
