Making restorations with aesthetic properties similar to those of natural teeth depends on several factors, including the changes that dental tissues go through when aging, which influence their optical properties, especially when it comes to light reflection and refraction. The Dentist’s knowledge about how different dental tissues behave in different age groups as well as the knowledge of the different features of biomaterials allows the possibility of aesthetic restorations, simulating the different dental tissues, achieving a final result as close to natural as possible.
