Recreate Nature with Renamel® OPAL™ & Renamel® OPALITE™ Shades

Opalescence is the phenomenon of dichroism in which a material appears to be of one color when light is reflected from it and of another color when light is transmitted through it. The shorter wavelengths refract more and require a higher critical angle to escape an optically dense material than the reds and yellows. The hydroxyapatite crystals of enamel also act as prisms. Wavelengths of light have different degrees of translucency through teeth and dental materials. When illuminated, opals and enamel will transilluminate the reds and scatter the blues within their body, therefore enamel appears bluish even though it is colorless. The opalescent effects of enamel brighten the tooth and give it optical depth and vitality.
