Translucency of Value Resin Composites Used to Replace Enamel in Stratified Composite Restoration Techniques

ABSTRACT Background:  The translucency of enamel shade is a crucial property that affects the color of a layered restoration. Objective:  This study evaluated the translucency of high‐, medium‐, and low‐value resin composites (4 Seasons, Ivoclar Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein) used to replace ename...

Description
Summary:ABSTRACT Background:  The translucency of enamel shade is a crucial property that affects the color of a layered restoration. Objective:  This study evaluated the translucency of high‐, medium‐, and low‐value resin composites (4 Seasons, Ivoclar Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein) used to replace enamel in stratified composite restoration techniques. Materials and Methods:  The color specimens with 12 mm in diameter and various thicknesses (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 mm) were measured after polymerization on a reflection spectrophotometer over white and black backgrounds to calculate the translucency parameter (TP). The statistical analysis of TP was accomplished using two‐way analysis of variance (p
