Abstract

Objectives

To conduct a systematic review on the translucency of bulk-fill (BF) composite materials, evaluating the factors influencing it and its clinical implications.

Materials and Methods

A systematic search was performed on four databases (Embase, Medline/PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science) for articles published until October 2, 2023. Search terms were: “translucency,” “translucency parameter,” “contrast,” “contrast ratio,” “bulk,” “bulk-fill,” “bulk fill,” “composite,” “resin,” “resin based,” “resin-based,” “restoration,” and “dental.” In vitro studies, written in English language, investigating BF resin-based composites translucency were included. The risk of bias was performed with the RoBDEMAT tool.

Results

Of 590 screened articles, 13 were included in this review. They investigated 11 high-viscosity BF and 5 low viscosity ones. The limited number of the identified studies and the heterogeneity of the extracted data did not allow to conduct a meta-analysis.

Conclusions

BF materials exhibit variability in translucency due to variations in experimental designs and the heterogeneous composition.

Clinical Significance

BFs may behave differently in masking the substrate or in blending capacity.

块状填充复合材料的透光性：系统综述

材料与方法在四个数据库（Embase、Medline/PubMed、Scopus 和 Web of Science）中对 2023 年 10 月 2 日之前发表的文章进行了系统检索。搜索关键词为"半透明度"、"半透明度参数"、"对比度"、"对比度比"、"体积"、"体积填充"、"体积填充"、"复合材料"、"树脂"、"树脂基"、"树脂基"、"修复 "和 "牙科"。以英语撰写的、调查 BF 树脂基复合材料半透明度的体外研究也包括在内。结果在筛选出的 590 篇文章中，有 13 篇被纳入本综述。这些文章研究了 11 种高粘度 BF 和 5 种低粘度 BF。结论由于实验设计的不同和成分的异质性，BF 材料在透光性方面表现出差异性。临床意义BF 在掩盖基质或混合能力方面可能表现出不同的特性。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry (JERD) is the longest standing peer-reviewed journal devoted solely to advancing the knowledge and practice of esthetic dentistry. Its goal is to provide the very latest evidence-based information in the realm of contemporary interdisciplinary esthetic dentistry through high quality clinical papers, sound research reports and educational features. The range of topics covered in the journal includes: - Interdisciplinary esthetic concepts - Implants - Conservative adhesive restorations - Tooth Whitening - Prosthodontic materials and techniques - Dental materials - Orthodontic, periodontal and endodontic esthetics - Esthetics related research - Innovations in esthetics
