Predicting the final color of layered resin composites from background-dependent optical measurements: a translucency-informed model.

Researchers used optical measurements and translucency data from individual composite layers to develop a model predicting the final color of stacked resin composite restorations. The model achieved clinically acceptable color predictions when tested on a different composite system.
