Background To compare the fluorescent properties of 6 different orthodontic adhesives and provide useful information for clinicians in the adhesion choice, in order to remove it easily at the end of orthodontic treatment by using the Fluorescence-aided Identification Technique (FIT). Methods Six orthodontic adhesives were included: Ortho Connect, Gradia LoFlo A3.5, Greengloo, Transbond XT, KommonBase Pink, and KommonBase Clear. The same thermoformed template with 1 mm shell thickness on the six anterior teeth was used for adhesive positioning; furthermore, an ultraviolet light-emitting diode flashlight was used for the FIT. The brightness of adhesive area and tooth area (L* color coordinate) were measured on the photographs by using the “color picker” tool of Photoshop software. Results GC Ortho Connect, Gradia Direct LoFlo and KommonBase Clear showed the highest differences of brightness (15.5, 16.3 and 13.5, respectively), while Greengloo, Transbond XT and KommonBase Pink registered similar values between resin area and tooth area with FIT (− 0.5, − 0.8 and − 1.0, respectively). The high viscosity adhesive resins, as Greengloo and Transbond XT, showed a similar performance in terms of fluorescence to the KommonBase Pink, the lowest viscous resin adhesive considered. Conclusions The most used orthodontic adhesives showed different fluorescence properties. Some resins were brighter with the FIT, facilitating identification and subsequent removal. Other orthodontic adhesives presented no difference between adhesive and tooth. The viscosity of orthodontic adhesives did not influence the brightness emitted with FIT.

“…Teeth that possess poor fluorescence properties may appear dull or discolored, which can negatively affect the overall aesthetics of the smile (6). It has been demonstrated that certain CAD/CAM restorations have provided higher fluorescence properties as compared to hard tissues of the tooth (8). Some specimens of composite demonstrated similar fluorescence intensity as compared to the natural tooth structure.…”

Fluorescence, the emission of light by a material after absorbing photons, is a property that has been extensively studied and utilized in various fields. In dentistry, fluorescence plays a crucial role in assessing the esthetic outcomes of dental restorations and prostheses. Different dental materials, such as resin composites and ceramics, exhibit distinct fluorescence characteristics. Understanding how these materials interact with fluorescent light is essential for achieving optimal esthetics in dental treatments. Therefore, fluorescence light reflection of different dental materials is a topic of great significance in the field of dentistry. Researchers have employed various methods to investigate the fluorescent light reflection of dental materials. These methods include spectrophotometry, fluorescent microscopy, and digital imaging techniques. By analyzing the fluorescence emission spectra and intensity, valuable insights into the optical properties of different dental materials have been obtained. Studies have shown that factors such as material composition, surface roughness, and color stability can influence the fluorescence light reflection of dental materials. For example, resin composites with certain additives or modifications may exhibit enhanced fluorescence, resulting in more natural-looking restorations. Furthermore, advancements in digital imaging technology have allowed for the development of fluorescencebased devices, such as fluorescence imaging cameras, to aid in clinical assessments. These devices enable dentists to evaluate the esthetic integration of dental materials within the oral environment, leading to improved treatment outcomes. Overall, the investigation of fluorescence light reflection of different dental materials offers valuable insights into their optical properties and their potential impact on esthetics. The understanding gained from this research can aid in the selection and characterization of dental materials, ultimately enhancing the esthetic outcomes of dental treatments

“…Although there have been studies on the color matching performance of ceramic veneers in natural light 15,16) , the final fluorescence of ceramic veneers under UV-light are not fully elucidated. It has been studied that some ceramic materials for dental restorations showed weaker fluorescence intensity than natural teeth obviously with the excitation wavelengths between 395 nm to 415 nm 13,17) . Silami et al 18) has found that the type of ceramic was an important factor for the fluorescence of ceramic veneers, and the resin cement also played an important role on the fluorescence intensity.…”

The objective of this study was to analyze the effect of the type of ceramics and resin cements on the fluorescence of ceramic veneers under the 405 nm UV-light by digital imaging. One hundred and ninety-two veneers were fabricated using three types of ceramics (IPS e.max CAD, IPS Empress CAD, and Zenostar). Eight pieces of substrates were made of resin-nano-ceramic (Lava Ultimate). The level of fluorescence for each sample cemented with the substrate using three kinds of resin cements (RelyX U200, Variolink N, and Choice 2) was analyzed by using histogram data of luminosity from Adobe Photoshop software. Furthermore, the fluorescence values were evaluated by two-way ANOVA and Tukey's test. The highest fluorescence values were observed for the IPS e.max CAD cemented with Choice 2 cement, followed by IPS Empress CAD, and Zenostar the lowest. The final fluorescence intensity of ceramic veneer is affected by ceramic materials and resin cements.
