Prediction of color of an esthetic restorative material.
The color of a composite of several thicknesses with a highly chromatic background was predicted successfully from reflectance spectra of the material of a known thickness with dark and light achromatic backgrounds by applying the Kubelka-Munk theory. The infinite optical thickness of the composite increased as wave-length increased.
