Lecture Description
The study of pigment color introduces innovative color strategies that enable dental professionals to create highly realistic and natural-looking ceramic restorations. By understanding the principles of the interaction between additive and subtractive color systems you can reveal the complexity of the relationship between light and matter, expanding the horizons of art and science. The structure of pigments determines their ability to absorb and reflect light, shaping a rich and diverse chromatic spectrum. As a result, advances in nanotechnology and materials science enable the creation of vibrant, durable, and sustainable colors. At the same time, nanostructural engineering enhances optical properties elevating the aesthetic potential of ceramic restorations. Delving into the concepts and mastering the fundamentals of hue, value, and chroma means uncovering the principles that allow for the precise replication of nature, transcending mere reproduction and imparting an exceptional degree of authenticity and sophistication to restorations.
