The purpose of this paper was to update the knowledge concerning the wear, translucency,
as well as clinical performance of monolithic zirconia ceramics, aiming at highlighting their …

Abstract Statement of Problem There are several ways to measure the translucency of
materials, as various basic colorimetric concepts have been used to describe the …

Statement of problem Little information is available about the translucency of monolithic
CAD/CAM materials. Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the translucency of …

The aim of the study was to compare the translucency of CAD/CAM and printable composite
materials for fixed dental prostheses (FDP). Eight A3 composite materials (7 CAD/CAM and …

Objectives To evaluate the direct transmittance (T%), translucency, opacity and opalescence
of CAD–CAM ceramic systems and the correlation between the translucency parameter (TP) …

Objective To compare three different compositions of Yttria-Tetragonal Zirconia Polycrystal
(Y-TZP) ceramic and a lithium disilicate ceramic in terms of flexural strength and …

Statement of problem Although several monolithic zirconia ceramics have recently been
introduced, the need for improved optical properties remains. The newest cubic-zirconia has …

Objective. To determine the translucency of human and bovine enamel and dentin using
reflection spectrophotometers. Material and Methods. The color of intact human and bovine …

The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effects of substrate and cement shades on
the translucency and color of lithium-disilicate and zirconia CAD/CAM materials. Two light …

Objectives To evaluate color and translucency of ceramics and the influence of a coupling
medium (G–glycerin) on these optical properties, testing the hypothesis that glycerin …
