Color stability of individually stained monolithic zirconia following occlusal adjustment

The effect of different surface treatment methods on the color stability of monolithic zirconia

Abstract   Background & aim: There are so many studies about effect of colored drinks and mouthwashes on discoloration of different dental ceramics. However, little is known regarding the effect of colored drinks on discoloration of monolithic zirconia .The purpose of this invitro study  was to evaluate the effect of different surface treament methods on color stability of monolithic zirconia....

Effect of mouthrinses on color stability of monolithic zirconia and feldspathic ceramic: an in vitro study

BACKGROUND Patients susceptible to periodontal disease and dental caries, including those who undergo fixed prosthodontic treatments use chemical plaque control agents. However, these mouthrinses may result in adverse effects such as discoloration of the restorative materials. The aim of this study was to compare the color stability of monolithic zirconia and feldspathic porcelain after immersi...

Color stability of CAD/CAM Zirconia ceramics following exposure to acidic and staining drinks

Background The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the color stability of CAD/CAM Zirconia ceramics following exposure to acidic drink (Coca Cola) and after exposure to staining solution (coffee). Material and Methods All the samples were immersed in different staining solutions over a 28-day test period. A colorimetric evaluation according to the CIE L*a*b* system was performed by a b...

Color change following vital bleaching of tetracycline-stained teeth.

Evaluation of translucency of monolithic zirconia and framework zirconia materials

PURPOSE The opacity of zirconia is an esthetic disadvantage that hinders achieving natural and shade-matched restorations. The aim of this study was to evaluate the translucency of non-colored and colored framework zirconia and monolithic zirconia. MATERIALS AND METHODS The three groups tested were: non-colored framework zirconia, colored framework zirconia with the A3 shade according to Vita...
