Objective:To study the relative translucency of 5 veneered and glazed all-ceramic systems core material, including Procerra AllCeram Alumina, Vita In-Ceram Zirconium, Ivoclar Vivodent Empress, In-Ceram Spinell and Colored Zirconia. Methods: Under standard black and white background, the surface light reflectivity of 5 veneered all-ceramic systems core material was determined with contact color difference meter, and the ratio of Yb /Yw was calculated. Results: After veneered, the relative translucency of 5 core materials all declined, and ranged from 0.6740 of In-Ceram Spinell to 1.00 of In-Ceram zirconia, among of that In-Ceram Spinell was most transparent. Conclusion: Among the groups, there is no significant differences among Empress II, Procera AllCeram and Colored Zirconia (IL1,IL2,IL3). Compared with Procera AllCeram and Vita In-Ceram Zirconium , Procera AllCeram has significant difference. There is a significant difference between Procera AllCeram and In-Ceram Spinell.

This study aimed to compare the translucency of four veneered dental all-ceramic core materials,including IPS e.max Press,Zenostar,Lava Zirconia and Upcera Zirconia.All specimens were fabricated at 10mm in diameter and 1.00.01mm in thickness.The translucency of specimens were measured with color difference meter and measurements were statistically analysed with SPSS 13.0. Experimental results showed that their translucency had significant difference,the order of relative translucency from high to low was IPS e.max PressLava ZirconiaZenostarUpcera Zirconia.IPS e.max Press which has good optical effect may be preferable for restoring anterior tooth with higher translucent. As for relatively opaque posterior tooth,Upcera Zirconia may be advisable.

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.

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.

To study the influence of background color on 3 veneered all-ceramic core materials, the color of all veneered samples that were put on noble metal, Ni-Cr alloy, Ag-Hg alloy and resin background was measured with chromatism instrument (and the chromatic aberration value among groups was Calculated). Under different backgrounds, there was significant difference in the L, a and b values among Empress II samples, there was significant difference in a and b values among In-Ceram Alumina samples, and there was no difference in the L, a and b values among In-Ceram Zirconium samples. After veneered, the influence of background color on Empress II was clear, on In-Ceram Alumina was less clear, and on In-Ceram Zirconium was void.

The spectral transmittance of six kinds of Vita In-Ceram and Cercon all-ceramic core materials after veneering ceramic was determined. Based on the production method recommended by the manufacturer, specimens of the same thickness are made. PERKIN ELMER Spectrophotometer is adopted to measure the spectral transmittance of In-Ceram AL2 slip-casting glass/alumina composite, AL2 electroformed alumina, Z21 slip-casting glass/zirconia composite, Z21 electroformed zirconia, Cercon base color zirconia and Cercon base zirconia all-ceramic core materials, after veneering ceramic. The results show that, after veneering ceramic, Cercon base Zirconia has the highest spectral transmittance, followed by AL2 Electroformed Alumina and Z21 Electroformed Zirconia, whereas the transmittance of Z21 slip-casting Glass/Zirconia composite has the lowest. Statistical data show that, among the groups, In-Ceram slip-casting Glass/Alumina composite (AL2), Electroformed Alumina (AL2), Cercon base color Zirconia and Cercon base Zirconia have significant differences between every group. On the other hand, there is no significant difference between In-Ceram slip-casting Glass/Zirconia composite (Z21) and Electroformed Zirconia (Z21). Therefore, we should choose all-ceramic restoration materials based on the spectral transmittance of all-ceramic core materials after veneering ceramic and transparency of the remaining natural teeth of patients.
