Abstract:

BACKGROUND: It is convenient to fabricate porcelain veeners using chairside computer aided design/computer aided manufacture (CAD/CAM) system. However, the color of the restorations is not ideal when the veener is cemented immediately, so different surface treatments are needed.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the influence of different surface treatments on the color of chairside porcelain veneers made of CEREC Blocs and the color match between the porcelain veneers and teeth.
METHODS: Five fresh extracted maxillary central incisors were selected and prepared. Twenty-five 0.6 mm porcelain veneer specimens were fabricated with Sirona CEREC Blocs by chairside CAD/CAM system, and then randomized into five groups. Untreated specimens served as control group. The other four groups were treated respectively by polishing, glazing, glazing after polishing or staining. The color parameters of specimens and the teeth were measured with ShadeEye NCC on the middle 1/3 region of labial surfaces, and color differences (ΔE) between the specimens and teeth were calculated. Data were analyzed by SPSS 19.0 software.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the control group, the L* value of the glazing, glazing after polishing and staining groups were significantly decreased (P < 0.05). The L* value of the staining group was the lowest. The a* and b* values had no significant differences between groups (P > 0.05). Compared with the control group, the ?E values of glazing, glazing after polishing and staining groups were significantly decreased (P < 0.05), and the ?E value of the staining group was the lowest. The ?L* values of glazing, glazing after polishing and staining groups were significantly lower than those of the control group (P < 0.05), and the ?L* value of the staining group was the lowest. Compared with the control group, only the ?b* value of staining group was decreased significantly (P < 0.05). The ?a* values did not differ significantly between groups (P > 0.05). These results suggest that the chairside porcelain veneers made of CEREC Blocs can obtain satisfactory aesthetic appearance by glazing and staining.
