7.5 Chameleon Properties

KALORE offers excellent chameleon properties due to the
different interfaces within the material. these result in
optical properties and light reflection that are similar to
tooth structure (Fig. 32) and enable single and multi-shade
restorations with unrivaled esthetics (Fig. 33).
