Abstract

F luorescence factors to assess should fluorescence of also natural be taken changes teeth into and account of its three alterations in types restorations. of due dental to This environmental ceramics. study aims 36 Ceramics of Feldspathic, Emax, and Enamic in 10 mm diameter and the thicknesses of 0.5 and 1mm with glaze and polish finishes were studied. Fluorescence was measured before and after aging and were analyzed using Anova test. The results showed that ceramics became opaque as the result of aging. This was more noticeable for Enamic ceramic with the lightness increase of 4.10 and 4.86 for the UV excited and non-excited measurements, respectively. Moreover, Enamic ceramic experienced significant changes in its fluorescence due to aging (Average Fluoresence ChangeEnamic=-10.2) while Emax (Average Fluoresence ChangeEmax=-3.6) and feldspathic (Average Fluoresence ChangeFeldspathic=-0.4) ceramics were superior to Enamic in this respect. In Feldspathic ceramic, due to the presence of feldspar phase, high resistance to aging process was observed. While, severe shifts in fluorescence due to aging were observed in Enamic ceramic. Several factors affect color and fluorescence change of ceramics due to aging. Preparations stresses, adhesion of glazes and the formation of micro cracks on the ceramic surfaces are among the factors can influence on this behavior. In case on Enamic ceramic caveat should be taken as it can change its appearance due to fluorescence hue shift probably as a result of surface scattering of UV light. According to the findings of this study Feldspathic, Emax and Enamic are respectively preferable in terms of fluorescence stability during aging process. Prog.
