Abstract
Objectives
This study aimed to derive predictive formulas for the final colour of restorations for discoloured teeth using zirconia veneers.
Methods
Coping thickness and translucency of zirconia, background colour, and luting cement shade were assessed. Shapiro-Wilk, ANOVA, paired t-tests, independent t-tests, Tukey’s test, and Automatic linear modeling (p < 0.05) were employed to develop a clinically practical method for predicting the colour difference (ΔE) between sample combinations (SCs) and the shade guides. ΔE values were evaluated against perceptibility (PT = 2.6) and acceptability (AT = 5.5) thresholds.
Results
Most discoloured teeth could be restored for A2 or A3 target shade. Using 1.5 mm CAD-CAM zirconia ceramic can achieve PT when the background colour is ND5, ND7, ND8. ΔE between the 1.5 mm LT SCs and the A2 shade guide is mostly within the AT range. ΔE between SCs and A2 shade guide showed a positive association with ND9 and negative associations with ND4, ND5, 1.5 mm, 1.0 mm, LT, and BL (p < 0.001). ΔE between SCs and A3 shade guide correlated positively with ND4, ND5, and ND9 but negatively with 1.5 mm, 1.0 mm, and LT (p < 0.001).
Conclusions
Each factor differentially influenced the final colour, with background colour being the most significant, followed by coping thickness. Two formulas can be used to predict ΔE between the restoration for discoloured teeth using zirconia veneers and the target shade (A2 or A3).
Clinical significance
The proposed formulas facilitate colour prediction in zirconia veneers for discoloured teeth, enhancing clinical aesthetic outcomes.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Dentistry has an open access mirror journal The Journal of Dentistry: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
The Journal of Dentistry is the leading international dental journal within the field of Restorative Dentistry. Placing an emphasis on publishing novel and high-quality research papers, the Journal aims to influence the practice of dentistry at clinician, research, industry and policy-maker level on an international basis.
Topics covered include the management of dental disease, periodontology, endodontology, operative dentistry, fixed and removable prosthodontics, dental biomaterials science, long-term clinical trials including epidemiology and oral health, technology transfer of new scientific instrumentation or procedures, as well as clinically relevant oral biology and translational research.
The Journal of Dentistry will publish original scientific research papers including short communications. It is also interested in publishing review articles and leaders in themed areas which will be linked to new scientific research. Conference proceedings are also welcome and expressions of interest should be communicated to the Editor.
