Effect of Vitique Esthetic Cementation on Tetracycline Stained Teeth-Mask with Different Simulated Staining Levels Following IPS-Empress II Ceramic Veneers

摘要

To evaluate the color changes of tetracycline stained teeth after restored IPS-EMPRESS II ceramics. Simulated tetracycline stained teeth were divided according to staining degree into four groups: mild, moderate, severe, and very severe groups;;each group had ten specimens which were repaired with IPS-EMPRESS II ceramics veneers, bonded with Vitique Esthetic Cementation System. The ShadeEye-NCC color system was used to analyze the change in L, a and b. AE were calculated to compare color difference among the four groups. Before and after bonding, the values of L, a, b were significantly different (P <0.05). Mild tetracycline stained teeth bonded using resin adhesive without opaque bonding have a better effect than moderate and severe tetracycline stained teeth bonded with opaque resin adhesive;;while, it is best to use other restorations to repair very severe tetracycline stained teeth. The IPS-EMPRESS II ceramics can effectively improve the color of discolored tooth. However, the final color of the veneered teeth is easily influenced by the color of the abutment teeth. Cementing agent with color masking ability can do some improvements in the final color. An appropriate bonding agent should be chosen to perfect the final results of the veneered tooth.
