The Aesthetic Effect of All-Ceramic Pressed Crowns According to the Thickness and Color of the Materials Used - An In Vitro Study

Abstract:

The final color of all-ceramic restorations may be influenced by the varying thickness of the dental abutment. Eighty A2 color (MO and LT) ceramic discs and eighty A3.5 color and four different thicknesses composite discs of were produced. The measurements were performed using the Vita Easyshade spectrophotometer. The results were statistically analyzed. Conclusion: There are no significant differences (perceived by the human eye) of the color parameters in the CIE L*a*b* system when comparing different combinations.
