characterization is the process of adding small, controlled color and texture details to a dental restoration. It aims to make fillings, crowns, veneers, or dentures look more like natural teeth and gums. It is commonly used in cosmetic dentistry and restorative dentistry, both chairside and in the dental laboratory. characterization can be subtle (slight shading) or more complex (multiple tones and surface effects).
