Abstract

A porcelain system has been developed that combines dental-ceramic engineering and fiber-optic technology. This system involves cutting-edge technology that results in optical properties that emulate nature closer than ever before. The enhanced opalescence and fluorescence, combined with optical clarity, results in color-reactive porcelain that looks natural and esthetic in any light, and reacts to light in the same manner as the natural dentition.
