Year: 2022
Type: article
Abstract: OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to analyze the effect of core and veneer porcelain thickness and resin cement on the opalescence property (OP) of glass-ceramic veneers, which were used to restore discolored teeth. METHODS: * values of specimens in the reflection and transmission pattern were measured by a spectrophotometer. Then, the OP was calculated. RESULTS: >0.05). CONCLUSIONS: When using glass-ceramic veneers for discolored teeth, the following are recommended to improve the OP and obtain a natural and realistic effect: adopt the design of direct sintering incisal porcelain with core porcelain; appropriately increase the thickness of core porcelain; and select resin cement with opaque effect.
