Abstract
The determination of the effects of these goniochromatic mechanisms is relevant to dentistry, because teeth are naturally aligned composites composed of multiple translucent layers. Therefore, understanding these goniochromatic effects is important to recreating them in restorative materials. Also, gold backings were previously found to give restoratives a more vital appearance, and this perceived vitality may be related to goniochromism.
