  • Title: Kubelka-Munk reflectance theory applied to porcelain veneer systems using a colorimeter.
    Author: Davis BK, Johnston WM, Saba RF.
    Journal: Int J Prosthodont; 1994; 7(3):227-33. PubMed ID: 7916887.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the ability of Kubelka-Munk reflectance theory to predict color parameters of veneer porcelain on various backings using colorimetric measurements. Tristimulus absorption and scattering coefficients were used to predict the respective tristimulus reflectance values of A1, D3, and translucent porcelain samples after they had been bonded to light and dark substrates using universal, opaque, and untinted shades of bonding resin. Observed and predicted reflectance values exhibited high correlation (r2 > or = 0.93 for each porcelain shade). Kubelka-Munk theory offers an accurate prediction for the resultant colorimetric reflectance parameters of veneer porcelain bonded to variously colored backings.
