Effect of indirect restorative material and thickness on light transmission at different wavelengths.
Journal of Prosthodontic Research 2018 December 29
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of indirect restorative material type and thickness on the transmission of different wavelengths from a broad-banded dental curing light.
METHODS: Four dental indirect restorative materials for computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) were evaluated: [RC] resin/ceramic hybrid material (Lava Ultimate), [FC] feldspathic ceramic (VitaBlocs), and two zirconia-based ceramics ([ZK] Katana; and [ZL] Lava). Total loss of irradiance (TL) was measured for blue (WB, 425-490nm) and violet (WV, 350-425nm) wavelengths. Specimens of 15×15mm with varying thicknesses (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0mm) were fabricated (n=5). A plasma-arc dental light-curing unit was used (Arc Light-II). To assess TL as a function of wavelength, a software (Spectra Suite v5.1) connected to a spectroradiometer (USB2000) and an integrating sphere (CTSM-LSM-60-SF) was used. Data was subjected to statistical analysis (two-way ANOVA and post-hoc Tukey test, α=0.05).
RESULTS: A 0.5mm interposition resulted in TL from 50.5 to 67.2%, depending on material. Increased thickness resulted in higher TL for all materials. FC showed less TL compared to ZK. In general, WV showed higher TL than did WB, and WV /WB proportion decreased with increasing thickness.
CONCLUSIONS: Indirect materials significantly reduced TL, and this effect is greater with increasing thickness. WV showed lower penetration compared to WB .
