In normal tooth structure, the prismatic and refractive enamel carries light into the dentin and root, transilluminating the gingiva and contributing to its pink color. The use of a translucent post or post-and-core structures preserves this normal transillumination and minimizes or eliminates gingival discoloration adjacent a dental restoration.
