Effect of Post-Core Materials on the Color Value of Four Dental All-Ceramic Cores
The aim of this study were to compare the color value of four kinds of dental all-ceramic cores (IPS e.max Press,Zenostar,Lava Zirconia and Upcera Zirconia) on three different post-core materials.All-ceramic core materials were made into samples at the diameter of 10mm and the thickness of 0.50.02mm.Their color value on the post-core material of noble metal,Co-Cr alloy and resin were respectively determined with chromatism instrument.It was showed that the color value of four all-ceramic cores were statistically different.IPS e.max Press was most obviously affected by post-core materials,while Upcera Zirconia the weakest.Lava Zirconia and Zenostar were influenced to a certain degree.In conclusion,non-mental post-core was preferable for IPS e.max Press,Upcera Zirconia was fit for any post-core materials.
