Purpose: To evaluate the effect of glass-reinforced ceramics (leucite and lithium disilicate) with different thicknesses (1, 2, and 3 mm) on the wavelength and irradiance spectrum of blue and violet lights. In addition, the effect of the ceramics on four current light-curing units (LCUs) was evaluated: a halogen lamp, a single peak LED, and two multi-peak LEDs. Methods: Ceramic discs of different thicknesses (1, 2, and 3 mm) were obtained from computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) blocks. The irradiance, radiant exposure, and emission spectrum of the four LCUs were analyzed using a spectrometer-based instrument. To evaluate the violet and blue lights, a specific device that provides a narrow emission spectrum was used. Results: The ceramics reduced the irradiance of all the tested LCUs. However, the wavelength of the transmitted light was only altered slightly. The effect of leucite and lithium disilicate varied according to the type of LCU and thickness of the ceramic disc evaluated. Conclusions: From the results, it could be concluded that the thickness of the leucite and lithium disilicate ceramic significantly reduced the irradiance of the light emitted by the LCUs, with minimal changes on the wavelength spectrum of the lights. The effects of the ceramic on irradiance and transmitted wavelengths of the blue and violet lights was slightly different.
