Forensic applications: Fluorescence properties of tooth-coloured restorative materials using a fluorescence DSLR camera.

Demand for aesthetic materials in restorative dentistry has led to the evolution of new types of tooth-coloured restorative materials, which attempt to accurately mimic the optical nuances of natural tooth structure. Various combinations of tooth-coloured materials now exist including resin modified and reinforced glass-ionomer cements (GIC), ormocers (organically modified ceramics) and hybrid ceramic materials, which are combinations of polymers and ceramic materials.
