Comparison of light-transmittance in dental tissues and dental composite restorations using incremental layering build-up with varying enamel resin layer thickness

Abstract: ObjectivesTo evaluate and compare light-transmittance in dental tissues and dental composite restorations using the incremental double-layer technique with varying layer thickness.Materials and MethodsB1-colored natural teeth slabs were compared to dental restoration build-ups with A2D and B1E-colored nanofilled, supra-nanofilled, microfilled, and microhybrid composites. The enamel layer varied from 0.3, 0.5, or 1.2 mm thick, and the dentin layer was varied to provide a standardized 3.7 mm overall sample thick… Show more

“…First, the enamel shade layer was placed, in which a standardized thickness of 1.1 mm was obtained by using a dentin spacer, as illustrated in Figure 1 ( 3 , 4 ). The enamel shade was light-cured for 20 seconds from the buccal side and 20 seconds from the lingual side (Valo Cordless, 1000 mW/cm2, UltradentÂź, South Jordan, UT, United States) ( 12 , 13 , 14 ). Then, after removing the dentin spacer, the dentin layer was applied right above the cured enamel layer, with a transparent plastic cable attached in the back.…”

“…Considering the differences in the formulation of commercial composites, it is not easy to establish the reason for this variation (there might be multiple reasons, indeed). All components of the composite ( e.g ., photoinitiator, filler particles) can interfere with the optical properties of the restorative material, and even the monomer blend can probably interfere in the final shade of the composite, making the shade selection even more difficult [ 4 5 19 20 21 22 ]. This can be even more problematic when the shade guide and composite manufacturers are not the same, as was the case with Vitapan, since this standard of shade may not match with the composite of several manufacturers, as occurred in the present study, in which shades A3, B1, and C3 presented significant differences for all manufacturers, corroborating the findings of a previous investigation [ 11 17 23 ].…”

“…Besides, in an in vitro study, the background used for reading the sample does not vary, as occurs in clinical situations. Moreover, the modulation of the layers of enamel and dentin shades with different thicknesses can influence the aesthetic features of restorative composite restorations [ 9 20 24 ]. The fact that the samples have the same thickness and shape as the shade guide pattern may have evidenced these differences since this makes it possible to standardize the optical behavior concerning the guide highlighting the characteristics of each composite.…”

“…Manufactures try to optimize and improve light transmittance through composite resin by changing and modifying organic matrix chemistry and morphological properties of fillers ( 26 ). As the dental composites are heterogeneous substances, the passing light is scattered at the resin-filler interface due to the differences in the refractive indices of the individual compounds ( 28 , 29 ).…”
