To evaluate the effect of various liner thickness on the color of Y-TZP based all-ceramic restorations. Forty disc specimens (10 mm diameter, 0.5 mm thick) were fabricated from IPS e.max ZirCAD core material. The specimens were randomly divided into four groups (n=10) according to layering with different ZL1 IPS e.max ZirLiner thicknesses as: 0.1 mm, 0.2 mm, 0.3 mm and one group had received no treatment as the control group. And 0.6 mm veneering porcelain was fired on the IPS e.max ZirCAD core material by traditional layering technique. Using a spectrophotometer to measure Color parameters L, a and b of the specimens after veneered. ΔE were calculated to compare color difference among the four groups. Intergroup differences of ΔE in different thicknesses were statistically significant at P<0.05. The ΔE between groups with different thickness were 2.03±0.07, 2.88±0.07, 3.54±0.07, 0.86±0.06, 1.47±0.06 and 0.67±0.06 respectively.Usually researchers apply ΔE=1.5 as the threshold for distinguishing two different colors by the human eye. Color difference ΔE between different groups with and without liner application was more than 1.5, which was in the perceptible range, but ΔE of liner application with the thickness of 0.1 mm, 0.2 mm and 0.3 mm were undistinguishable by human eye (ΔE<1.5). Thus liner application of the all ceramic system could significantly affected the final color of the all ceramic restorations and it ameliorated esthetics of Y-TZP all-ceramic restorations to good purpose. However, Changes in the thickness (0.1 mm-0.3 mm) of liner application have no significant effect on the final shade of Y-TZP based all-ceramic restorations.

This study compared the translucency of IPS e.max all-ceramic system of A and D color series veneered and glazed at clinically appropriate thicknesses. Core specimens (n = 5) of IPS e.max were produced and veneered with IPS e.max veneering porcelain to final dimensions (13 mm in diameter, 0.6 mm in thickness for core specimens with a thickness of 0.3 and 1.0 mm for core specimens with a thickness of 0.5 mm). Luminous reflectance was measured three times each specimen with a calibrated spectrophotometer after veneering and again after glazing cycle. Contrast ratios (CR=Yb/Yw) were measured from the luminous reflectance (Y)of the tested specimens with a black (Yb) and a white background (Yw). There was no significant difference in contrast ratios of specimens within the same color series before and after glazing (P > 0.05). Significant difference was found in the contrast ratios of specimens of the same color but different thickness before and after glazing (P < 0.05). The specimens with a thickness of 1.0mm presents significantly higher contrast ratios than specimens of the same color with a thickness of 0.6mm before and after glazing. The contrast ratios of glazed specimens were significantly lower than nonglazed ones. The Contrast ratio increases as the thickness of the core veneer materials increase, while luminosity and chroma are not related to relative translucency. The glazing cycle results in decreased opacity for core veneer materials.

OBJECTIVES: to evaluate the effect of the type of ceramic framework material on the final color of all-ceramic restorations. The hypotheses tested were: (1) the final color of the restoration is different than the porcelain shade selected initially to veneer the framework and (2) different framework materials result in different colors of all-ceramic restorations. METHODS: Steel models simulating abutment teeth were used to design all-ceramic fixed partial dentures (FPDs). The FPDs were produced using three different framework materials (n=8): (YZ) yttria partially stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (LAVA, 3M); (IZ) glass-infiltrated alumina/zirconia (Vita In-Ceram Zirconia); (AL) polycrystalline alumina (Vita In-Ceram AL). Each framework was veneered with the recommended porcelain, VM9 for YZ and VM7 for IZ and AL groups (Vita). The porcelain shade used was 2M2. A uniform thickness of 1.2 mm of porcelain was applied around the retainers. The color difference (ΔE) and lightness difference (ΔL) between the selected porcelain shade (2M2) and the color of the final restoration were obtained using a clinical spectrophotometer (VITA Easyshade). Statistical analysis was performed using One-Way ANOVA and Tukey’s test (α=0.05). RESULTS: The ΔE mean values, standard deviation and statistical ranking for the experimental groups were: (YZ) 2.38 ± 0.44b; (IZ) 2.92 ± 0.67ab; (AL) 3.43 ± 0.84a. AL group showed the highest ΔE and ΔL mean values. IZ showed an intermediate ΔE value and statistically similar to AL and YZ groups. There was no significant difference between ΔL values for YZ and IZ groups. CONCLUSION:  Although the color difference between all experimental groups and the porcelain shade selected to veneer the restorations could be visually detected (ΔE>1.0), only AL showed a difference above the clinical threshold (ΔE>3.0). Thus, the first study hypothesis was partially accepted. In addition, the type of framework ceramic influenced the final restoration color, accepting the second study hypothesis.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the thickness of lithium disilicate ceramics (medium opacity) on the color perception of pressed full-ceramic restorations, in various situations of discromic substrate. The color parameters of ceramic disks (10 mm diameter, thickness 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, 1.2, 1.5mm), (n=5), of IPS e.max® Press MO 0 (Ivoclar Vivadent) were evaluated upon samples of light cured composite material that simulate the shade of prepared teeth (IPS Natural Die Material Kit, Ivoclar Vivadent) (disks 10mm diameter, 5mm thickness). Saturated sucrose solution was interposed between the ceramic disks and the composite disks. The color parameters CIE L*, a*, b* were recorded by using a spectrophotometer (VITA Easyshade® Advance, VITA Bad Säckingen, Germany). The color difference E was calculated. Statistical analysis of the data revealed that the increase in thickness of the ceramic layer will lead to an increased masking of the discolored background by the ceramic layer.

The present paper probes into the effect of background color of different post-core materials on the core materials of In-Ceram AL2 Electroformed Alumina, Z21 Electroformed Zirconia, Cercon base color Zirconia, and Cercon base Zirconia. The spectrocolorimeter was used to measure colorimetric values of all groups of samples against the background of noble metal, nickel-chromium alloy, silver amalgam and resin, and to calculate the color difference among the groups. The result showed that the color difference of Cercon base color Zirconia viewed against different backgrounds was identifiable by human eyes (ΔE > 1.5). In contrast, the color differences of In-Ceram AL2 Electroformed Alumina, Z21 Electroformed Zirconia and Cercon base Zirconia viewed against different backgrounds were unidentifiable by human eyes (ΔE < 1.5). Based on this, it can be stated that Cercon base color Zirconia is significantly affected by background color. Thus, proper method to shelter the background color should be adopted. In addition, AL2 Electroformed Alumina, Z21 Electroformed Zirconia, and Cercon base color Zirconia are less influenced by the background color, thus it is not necessary to cover the background color.
