title: Color characterization of porcelain veneers.
abstract: Porcelain veneers have become a popular treatment modality in recent years. A common problem associated with these restorations is the inability of the dentist to reproduce the polychromatic appearance of a natural tooth with a porcelain veneer. It is the purpose of this article to describe several methods that may be used to transform a monochromatic porcelain veneer into a polychromatic restoration that approaches the beauty of a natural tooth.
