Abstract
OBJECTIVES To conduct a systematic review on the translucency of bulk-fill (BF) composite materials, evaluating the factors influencing it and its clinical implications. MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic search was performed on four databases (Embase, Medline/PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science) for articles published until October 2, 2023. Search terms were: "translucency," "translucency parameter," "contrast," "contrast ratio," "bulk," "bulk-fill," "bulk fill," "composite," "resin," "resin based," "resin-based," "restoration," and "dental." In vitro studies, written in English language, investigating BF resin-based composites translucency were included. The risk of bias was performed with the RoBDEMAT tool. RESULTS Of 590 screened articles, 13 were included in this review. They investigated 11 high-viscosity BF and 5 low viscosity ones. The limited number of the identified studies and the heterogeneity of the extracted data did not allow to conduct a meta-analysis. CONCLUSIONS BF materials exhibit variability in translucency due to variations in experimental designs and the heterogeneous composition. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE BFs may behave differently in masking the substrate or in blending capacity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of potassium aluminum sulfate (alum) application on the stainability and translucency of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) materials after coffee thermocycling (CTC). MATERIALS AND METHODS Disk-shaped specimens (Ø10 × 1 mm; N = 200) were fabricated by using additively (Crowntec [CT] and Varseo Smile Crown Plus [VS]) and subtractively manufactured (Brilliant Crios [RCR], CEREC Block [FC], and Vita Enamic [VE]) CAD-CAM materials and polished. All specimens were randomly divided into two groups as alum applied and control (n = 10). All specimens were then subjected to CTC (10,000 cycles at 5-55°C) and color coordinates were measured at each time interval. Color differences (ΔE00 ) and relative translucency parameters (RTPs) were calculated and the data were statistically analyzed (a = 0.05). RESULTS Among tested time intervals, alum applied specimens had their lowest ΔE00 after alum application (p ≤ 0.006), except for FC (p = 0.177). In addition, alum applied RCR had lower ΔE00 values than its control specimens (p = 0.029). Alum applied specimens had their lowest RTP after CTC (p < 0.001) and alum application decreased the RTP of CT (p = 0.010). CTC reduced the RTP of all materials in control groups (p < 0.001). Alum applied CT had higher RTP than its control specimens (p = 0.049). CONCLUSIONS Alum application's effect on color change varied depending on the material and alum mostly resulted in clinically acceptable changes in translucency. CTC led to unacceptable color and translucency changes based on previously reported threshold values. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Optical properties of CAD-CAM materials and the sustainability of these properties over time is critical for longevity. Alum may improve the color stability of reinforced composite resin when subjected to long-term coffee consumption.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the flexural strength (FS) and translucency parameter (TP) of resin nanoceramics (RNCs) with barium silicate for additive manufacturing. MATERIALS AND METHODS An RNC slurry was prepared by mixing a barium silicate filler and resin monomer. For the FS tests, specimens with three filler contents (0, 50, and 63 wt%) were designed according to ISO6872 for dental ceramics and ISO10477 for dental polymers. These specimens were then formed into discs with thicknesses of 1 and 2 mm for TP measurement. RESULTS In the specimens prepared according to ISO6872, the FS increased significantly depending on the filler content. However, in the case of ISO10477, there was no significant difference between the FSs of the specimens with 0 and 50 wt% filler contents. The increase in thickness affected translucency, and the lowest translucency was obtained at a filler content of 63 wt%. The filler distribution was dense in the specimen with 63 wt% filler and uniform but relatively sparse in the specimen with 50 wt% filler. More voids were observed in the specimen with 63 wt% filler. The thickness and filler content of the specimen affected its TP. The TP of the specimen with 63 wt% filler was similar to that of human enamel. CONCLUSION The FS was significantly higher at a filler content of 63 wt%. The lowest translucency was obtained at a filler content of 63 wt% for all tested thicknesses. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Increasing the filler content was advantageous for the mechanical properties of the RNCs. A high filler content led to low translucency in the RNCs. Therefore, the esthetics of human teeth can be reproduced if layering according to the filler content is performed in areas where esthetic characteristics are required.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Firing protocols influence optical properties of dental ceramics. Effects of varying cooling rates of monochrome and multilayer 5 mol% yttria-stabilized tetragonal polycrystalline (5YTZP) on optical properties are subjected for investigation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety specimens (width, length, thickness = 10 × 20 × 2 mm) were prepared from monochrome (Mo: Cercon xt) and multilayer (Mu: Cercon xt ML with cervical (C) and incisal (I) zoning) 5YTZP. Specimens were sintered and randomly treated with three cooling rates (n = 15/group): slow (S: 5°C/min), normal (N: 35°C/min), and fast (F: 70°C/min). Color appearance (∆EW), color appearance difference (∆E diff), translucency parameter (TP), contrast ratio (CR), and opalescence parameter (OP) were evaluated in CIEL*a*b* (Commission International de I'Eclairage) system. ∆E diff was achieved from the coordinate difference of specimen to VITA classic shade A2. Microstructures and compositions were evaluated by scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive spectroscopy. Monoclinic (m), tetragonal (t), and cubic (c) phases were investigated with X-ray diffraction. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS An analysis of variance and Bonferroni multiple comparisons were determined for significant differences (p < 0.05). RESULTS ΔEW of MoF was highest (66.04 ± 1.86), while MuN-I was lowest (62.60 ± 0.86). TP and OP of MoS were highest at 2.85 ± 0.11, and 2.25 ± 0.10, while MuF-I was lowest at 2.16 ± 0.10 and 1.60 ± 0.12. CR of MuF-I was highest (0.948 ± 0.005), while MoS was lowest (0.936 ± 0.005). ΔEdiff of MoF was highest (3.83), while MuN-I was lowest (0.93). Limited grain growth and m-phase composition were indicated upon fast cooling. There were significant differences for all color parameters due to varied materials, cooling rates, and their interactions (p < 0.05) except for interaction in ∆EW and OP. CONCLUSIONS Translucency of monochrome and multilayer 5YTZP were different, possibly due to colorant additives. Incisal layer of multilayer 5YTZP was perfectly matched with VITA shade. Increasing cooling speed resulted in smaller grain size, t-m transformation, and finally lower translucency and opalescence. Therefore, to achieve most favorable optical properties, slow cooling rate is recommended.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This work aimed to evaluate the effect of speed sintering and low-temperature degradation on the translucency of high-translucent zirconia. METHODS The ST and TT specimens were randomly divided into two groups depending on the sintering process: conventional sintering and speed sintering. The sintered specimens were divided into three subgroups according to the aging time: aged for 0, 5, and 20 h. Chromatic parameters (L*, a*, and b* values) were measured by Shade Eye NCC computer colorimeter in a dark environment under black and white background, and the translucency parameter (TP) was used to evaluate the translucency of zirconia. RESULTS Speed sintering may decrease the TP of ST and increase the TP of TT. As for the effect of low-temperature degradation on the translucency of zirconia, the TP of ST decreased with the extension of aging time, and no significant difference was found in rapid sintering ST. Although the TP of TT decreased, no statistical difference was observed. CONCLUSIONS Speed sintering may decrease the translucency of high-strength zirconia and increase the translucency of high-translucent zirconia. Low-temperature degradation had no effect on the translucency of high-translucent zirconia. Speed sintering can be recommended for high-translucent zirconia in terms of translucency.

Abstract
AIM This research aimed to assess and compare the translucency and mechanical properties of partially stabilized zirconia in contrast to lithium disilicate, particularly within the context of translucent zirconia. SETTINGS AND DESIGN The experimental design entails examining fifty samples, with ten drawn from each of the five distinct categories of ceramic materials, as part of this in vitro study. Translucency is measured using the Konica Minolta CM-3600D spectrophotometer, assessing Delta E through Lab values against white and black backgrounds. Flexural strength is analyzed via a 3-point bend test on a universal testing machine, with a controlled crosshead speed set at 1 mm/min. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study included the five categories of ceramic materials, each consisting of ten samples: High-strength zirconia (Katana HT), translucent zirconia (e.max Zircad MT and Cercon ht ML), and lithium disilicate (Press MT and LT). The Konica Minolta CM-3600D spectrophotometer is utilized to measure the translucency parameter. This involves determining the color difference (Delta E) by comparing the L*a*b values against both white and black backgrounds. The flexural strength (FS) of zirconia and lithium disilicate materials was analyzed through a 3-point bend test, aiming to compare their respective strengths. The testing procedure was carried out on a universal testing machine with a controlled crosshead speed set at 1 mm/min. The FS was calculated using the formula σ = FL/πR3 for circular disks, where σ represents the FS, F is the fracture load, L is the span length in millimeters, and R is the radius of the disk. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED The Student's t-test was employed for statistical analysis. RESULTS The mean translucency parameter for e.max Press MT (6.33 ± 1.05) was significantly greater than all the specimens investigated. The Cercon ht ML exhibited a slightly higher translucency (2.18 ± 0.52) compared to e.max Zircad MT (1.49 ± 0.69), with a statistically significant difference (P = 0.022). Conversely, the FS of e.max Zircad MT (26.97 ± 2.06) was significantly greater (P < 0.001) than that of Cercon ht ML (23.25 ± 2.36). Notably, the Katana HT material demonstrated the highest load strength (32.92 ± 3.10), a statistically significant difference compared to its counterparts (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Among the materials tested, lithium disilicate ceramics exhibited the highest translucency, with its MT variant demonstrating the lowest strength. Katana HT displayed significantly greater biaxial FS compared to translucent zirconia, surpassing even lithium disilicate. Translucent zirconia proved to be notably more translucent than high-strength zirconia. Within the category of translucent zirconia, e.max Zircad MT exhibited substantially higher FS than Cercon.

Abstract
PURPOSE The available independent data on the translucency of novel pre and fully sintered chairside computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) lithium disilicate are limited. This comparative in vitro study evaluated the translucency degree of pre and fully sintered chairside CAD-CAM lithium disilicate crowns after optional, required, and additional firing processes. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred and five maxillary left central incisor crowns manufactured by three different CAD-CAM lithium disilicate brands shade A1 were assigned into seven groups as follows (n = 15): (1) Straumann n!ce without sintering; (2) Straumann n!ce with one additional sintering process; (3) Straumann n!ce with two additional sintering processes; (4) Amber Mill with one sintering process; (5) Amber Mill with two sintering processes; (6) IPS e.max CAD with one sintering process; and (7) IPS e.max CAD with two sintering processes. The translucency of all crowns was evaluated with a color imaging spectrophotometer. All statistical analyses were performed using statistical software. A standard level of significance was set at α < 0.05. RESULTS All the milled crowns presented different degrees of translucency, and additional sintering processes altered it. IPS e.max CAD with two (4.33 ± 0.26) and one (4.01 ± 0.15) sintering processes displayed the highest translucency, whereas Straumann n!ce with no sintering process provided the lowest value (2.82 ± 0.16). CONCLUSIONS The translucency of chairside lithium disilicate single-unit full-coverage restorations manufactured with subtractive technology was significantly influenced by the brand and the number of sintering processes. The traditional presintered IPS e.max CAD and the fully crystallized glass-ceramic Straumann n!ce considerably increased the translucency after one additional firing process, whereas Amber Mill decreased its translucency.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the color stability, translucency, biaxial flexural strength (BFS), and reliability of nano-lithium disilicate and fully crystallized lithium disilicate after thermal cycling and to compare with those of a commonly used lithium disilicate. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three lithium disilicate glass-ceramics were used to prepare disk-shaped specimens (ø:12 mm, thickness: 1.2 mm) from A2 shaded HT blocks (Amber Mill, AM; Initial LiSi Block, IN; IPS e.max CAD, EX). AM and EX specimens were crystallized, and all specimens were polished with a polishing paste (Diamond Polish Mint). A spectrophotometer (CM-26d) was used to measure color coordinates before and after thermal cycling. BFS test was performed after thermal cycling. Color differences (ΔE00 ) and relative translucency parameter (RTP) values were calculated. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) (ΔE00 and BFS), two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's HSD tests (RTP), and chi-square tests (Weibull modulus and characteristic strength) were used for the statistical analyses (α = 0.05). RESULTS No significant differences were observed among the ΔE00 values of tested materials (df = 2, F = 2.933, p = 0.070). RTP values were only affected by material type (p < 0.001) as AM had the highest RTP (p < 0.001), whereas IN and EX had similar values (p ≥ 0.165). BFS values varied among tested materials (df = 2, F = 21.341, p < 0.001). AM and EX had similar BFS values (p = 0.067) that were higher than that of IN (p ≤ 0.001). Weibull moduli of the materials were similar (p = 0.305), whereas EX had the highest and IN had the lowest characteristic strength values (p < 0.001) CONCLUSIONS: Although nano-lithium disilicate had the highest translucency, all materials had imperceptible color and translucency changes after thermal cycling when reported threshold values were considered. Newly introduced lithium disilicate glass-ceramics had adequate flexural strength as compared to the precursor material.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the surface roughness, optical properties, and microhardness of additively or subtractively manufactured CAD-CAM materials after simulated brushing and coffee thermal cycling. MATERIAL AND METHODS Two additively manufactured resins (Crowntec, CT and VarseoSmile Crown Plus, VS) and 3 subtractively manufactured materials (a reinforced composite (Brilliant Crios, BC), a polymer-infiltrated ceramic network (Enamic, VE), and a feldspathic ceramic (Mark II, VM)) were used to fabricate disk-shaped specimens (Ø10×1-mm) (n = 10). Surface roughness, Vickers microhardness, and color coordinates were measured after polishing, while surface roughness was also measured before polishing. Specimens were then subjected to 25000 cycles of brushing and 10000 cycles of coffee thermal cycling, and measurements were repeated after each time interval. Color difference (ΔE00 ) and relative translucency parameter (RTP) were calculated. Robust analysis of variance test was used to evaluate surface roughness, ΔE00 , and RTP data, while generalized linear model analysis was used for microhardness data (α = 0.05). RESULTS Material type and time interval interaction affected tested parameters (p ≤ 0.002). In addition, material type affected all parameters (p < 0.001) other than surface roughness (p = 0.051), and time interval affected surface roughness and microhardness values (p < 0.001). Tested materials mostly had their highest surface roughness before polishing (p ≤ 0.026); however, there was no clear trend regarding the roughness of materials within different time intervals along with ΔE00 and RTP values within materials or time intervals. VS and CT had the lowest microhardness regardless of the time interval, while the remaining materials were listed as VM, VE, and BC in decreasing order (p < 0.001). Coffee thermal cycling only reduced the microhardness of VM (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Tested additively manufactured resins can be considered more susceptible to simulated brushing and coffee thermal cycling than the other materials, given the fact that their surface roughness and ΔE00 values were higher than previously reported acceptability thresholds and because they had the lowest microhardness after all procedures were complete.

Abstract
Background Understanding the optical characteristics, especially the translucency patterns (TPs) in teeth can assist clinicians in creating biomimetic restorations. Aim This study assessed the differences in enamel TPs and the area of translucency (AOT) in the most dominant teeth of an individual's smile according to their age and gender. Materials and Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted on 140 consented individuals. Based on the age, there were four groups with 35 subjects in each. The digital imaging method is used to classify and differentiate different TPs. The AOT was measured with the assistance of ImageJ 1.51j8 software. Statistical Analysis Used One-way ANOVA with a post hoc test was used to test the statistical significance difference among the various age groups, and an independent t-test was used to test the variations between genders. Results The outcome of this study showed that the AOT was the highest for the 50 and above age group as compared to other age groups (P = 0.003). Although there were variations in the TPs between the two genders, the AOT showed no significant difference. Conclusion The area of incisal third translucency in the upper central incisors varied between different age groups. However, gender had no influence in the area of incisal translucency. Wide variations in the TPs were seen based on age and gender.

Abstract
PURPOSE This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the effect of thermal cycling (TC) on the color stability, translucency, and surface roughness of two different gingival porcelain materials. MATERIALS AND METHODS The gingival porcelains IPS e.max Ceram Gingiva (Ceram) and IPS InLine Gingiva (InLine) were tested. A total of 66 disc-shaped specimens were prepared and glazed using porcelain powders of G1, G3, and G5 colors. The samples were divided into two porcelain groups by their types and into three subgroups (n11) by their colors. Thermal cycling was performed at 6000 cycles simulating an oral environment of 5 years. The color and surface roughness measurements of the samples were made before and after the thermal cycling. Color measurements were made with a spectrophotometer. Surface roughness (mean surface roughness [Ra; μm]) was measured using a contact profilometer. Data before thermal cycling were evaluated using the Kruskal-Wallis test followed by the Dunn Bonferonni paired comparison test. Two-way ANOVA with repeated measurements and a pairwise comparison test with Bonferroni correction were used to evaluate the change in roughness and translucency parameter (TP) data between groups due to thermal cycling. RESULTS The color change was below the clinically perceptible color change threshold (∆E00 = 2.1) in all groups after thermal cycling. However, all materials had significantly increased roughness (p < 0.05). An increase in roughness was detected in the Ceram group and was higher than that in the InLine group. The change in the translucency parameters of the samples after thermal cycling was not statistically significant; a small increase was observed in all groups. The highest translucency values were seen in the G1, G3, and G5 colors. CONCLUSIONS Thermal cycling caused a significant increase in the roughness values (Ra) of all materials and a minimal increase in their translucency. The color change of gingival porcelains after thermal cycling was less than the clinically perceptible threshold.

Abstract
Amid chairside CAD/CAM materials, the use of lithium-based silicate glass-ceramics (LSGC) has been steadily increasing. This review aims to report on the translucency of these materials and the variables used to measure it. An electronic search was performed within the PubMed database within the period between 2 June 2011 and 11 September 2022. English-language papers investigating the translucency of IPS e.max CAD, Celtra Duo, Suprinity PC, Initial LiSi Block, Amber Mill, N!ce, and CEREC Tessera LSGC CAD/blocks were included in the search strategy. After an initial retrieval of 160 papers, the application of exclusion criteria, and the screening of abstracts and then of full texts, 33 papers were included in the study. The retrieved materials, with different degrees of translucency (LT, HT), were IPS e.max CAD (n = 33), Suprinity PC (n = 8), and Celtra Duo (n = 1). Concerning the examined colors, the most used was A2 (n = 20), followed by A1 (n = 8) and A3 (n = 2). The translucency parameter (TP) was the most used method (n = 30) with respect to the contrast ratio (CR) (n = 11) to assess translucency. Five papers measured both. Several specimens' thicknesses (0.5-4 mm) were investigated, with 1 mm (n = 23) being the most frequently analyzed. While a general tendency could be identified, conflicting results among different papers were reported.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the optical match between enamel and resin composites fabricated using mono-layered and double-layered techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS Enamel slabs were prepared from human upper incisors and canines. Mono-layered composite replicas were prepared from seven Filtek Z350XT and Estelite Sigma shades using silicone molds prepared from the respective enamel surfaces. Translucent and enamel shades (A2 or A3) of the two materials were produced from incisor molds for double-layered replicas, and the groups with the best results underwent accelerated aging. Spectrophotometric evaluation was performed using CIE color system. The differences in translucency (ΔTP) and color (ΔE00 ) between the enamel and paired composite replicas were calculated and analyzed using parametric statistics (α = 0.05). RESULTS For the mono-layered composites, white enamel and translucent shades of Filtek yielded the lowest ΔTP for canines (4.6) and incisors (8.9), respectively. The ΔE00 of mono-layered replicas ranged from 5.1 to 11.8. Double-layered Filtek replicas displayed a better 1-day optical match with the lowest ΔTP (3.4-4.0) and ΔE00 (4.2-4.6), irrespective of each layer's thickness. CONCLUSIONS For canines, the lowest ΔTP of Filtek white enamel was close to the acceptable threshold (4.43). For incisors, the thicker translucent double-layered Filtek composites demonstrated the greatest optical match before and after aging. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Upper incisors and canines have distinct enamel optical properties. Enamel layering using specific double-layered resin composites could achieve a better optical match with upper incisor enamel.

Abstract
As dental 5 mol% yttria-stabilized (5Y-) zirconia demand high esthetics, it is necessary to clarify how the optical properties are affected by high-speed sintering, which is not yet fully understood. Our study aimed to investigate the effect of high-speed sintering on the translucency and opalescence parameters (TP and OP, respectively), as well as their related microstructure and phase distribution, using two types of multilayered 5Y-zirconia. Multilayered 5Y-zirconia (Cercon xt ML, Lava Esthetic) were cut layer-by-layer, followed by conventional and high-speed sintering. The TP and OP values were subsequently obtained using a spectrophotometer, and field emission scanning electron microscopy images were used to analyze the average grain size. The phase fractions were analyzed using X-ray diffraction. Regardless of the zirconia type, the TP was slightly lowered by high-speed sintering in all the layers except the dentin layer (DL) for Lava Esthetic (p < 0.05). The OP decreased by high-speed sintering in the DL for Cercon xt ML and in all the layers for Lava Esthetic (p < 0.05). The decrease in translucency after high-speed sintering was attributed to a decrease in the yttria-rich t'-phase with low tetragonality, along with an increase in the yttria-lean t-phase with high tetragonality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Skin dullness has long been a major concern of Japanese women. It is usually evaluated and judged visually by experts. Although several factors are recognized to play a role, it is unclear to what extent such physiological characteristics contribute to skin dullness. The purpose of this study is to establish an objective method for evaluation, which will assist in developing cosmetics products targeting skin dullness. METHODS We conducted a skin measurement study on 50 Japanese women in their 30-50s, where skin dullness was visually assessed by a group of experts to obtain an average dullness score, and several skin parameters were obtained. We then developed a regression model that explains the visual assessment score using these physiological parameters. RESULTS The results of partial least squares analysis of the dullness perception and physiological characteristics showed that skin dullness can be defined by colorimetric, optical, and skin surface microtopography parameters. Additionally, the contribution of each parameter to the model was determined. Our results suggest that dullness perception is highly affected by the melanin content and yellowness of the skin, followed by skin reddishness, roughness, and translucency score, whereas glossiness has less effect. Strikingly, the contribution ratio of each parameter varied among age groups. Furthermore, we confirmed that the predicted value of skin dullness increases with age. CONCLUSION Our results will help the design of cosmetics targeting factors specific to age groups in developing effective solutions for skin dullness.

Abstract
We propose a method of reproducing perceptual translucency in three-dimensional printing. In contrast to most conventional methods, which reproduce the physical properties of translucency, we focus on the perceptual aspects of translucency. Humans are known to rely on simple cues to perceive translucency, and we develop a method of reproducing these cues using the gradation of surface textures. Textures are designed to reproduce the intensity distribution of the shading and thus provide a cue for the perception of translucency. In creating textures, we adopt computer graphics to develop an image-based optimization method. We validate the effectiveness of the method through subjective evaluation experiments using three-dimensionally printed objects. The results of the validation suggest that the proposed method using texture may increase perceptual translucency under specific conditions. As a method for translucent 3D printing, our method has the limitation that it depends on the observation conditions; however, it provides knowledge to the field of perception that the human visual system can be cheated by only surface textures.

Abstract
The development of 3D-printed crown resin materials with improved mechanical and physical properties is an area of growing interest in dentistry. This study aimed to develop a 3D-printed crown resin material modified with zirconia glass (ZG) and glass silica (GS) microfillers to enhance overall mechanical and physical properties. A total of 125 specimens were created and divided into five groups: control unmodified resin, 5% either ZG or GS reinforced 3D-printed resin, and 10% either ZG or GS reinforced 3D-printed resin. The fracture resistance, surface roughness, and translucency parameter were measured, and fractured crowns were studied under a scanning electron microscope. The results showed that 3D-printed parts that were strengthened with ZG and GS microfillers demonstrated comparable mechanical performance to unmodified crown resin but resulted in greater surface roughness, and only the group that contained 5% ZG showed an increase in translucency. However, it should be noted that increased surface roughness may impact the aesthetics of the crowns, and further optimisation of microfillers concentrations may be necessary. These findings suggest that the newly developed dental-based resins that incorporate microfillers could be suitable for clinical applications, but further studies are necessary to optimise the nanoparticle concentrations and investigate their long-term clinical outcomes.

Abstract
The human visual system extracts both the three-dimensional (3D) shape and the material properties of surfaces from single images.1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14 Understanding this remarkable ability is difficult because the problem of extracting both shape and material is formally ill posed: information about one appears to be needed to recover the other.14,15,16,17 Recent work has suggested that a particular class of image contours formed by a surface curving smoothly out of sight (self-occluding contours) contains information that co-specifies both surface shape and material for opaque surfaces.18 However, many natural materials are light permeable (translucent); it is unknown whether there is information along self-occluding contours that can be used to distinguish opaque and translucent materials. Here, we present physical simulations, which demonstrate that variations in intensity generated by opaque and translucent materials are linked to different shape attributes of self-occluding contours. Psychophysical experiments demonstrate that the human visual system exploits the different forms of intensity-shape covariation along self-occluding contours to distinguish opaque and translucent materials. These results provide insight into how the visual system manages to solve the putatively ill-posed problem of extracting both the shape and material properties of 3D surfaces from images.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Opaque cements can be esthetically unfavorable and alternative translucent materials have been developed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the color interference of a new translucent cement compared with conventional materials, in association with interim restoration with different thickness and shades. METHODS Bis-acryl composite disks were prepared in 2 thicknesses (1.2 mm, 0.6 mm) and 3 shades (A3.5, A2, bleached) to simulate the restorations. Cementation over dentin disks was performed with 1 translucent cement (Provicol QM Aesthetic; VOCO), 2 conventional cements (Provicol; VOCO, Temp-Bond NE; Kerr Dental), and 1 transparent liquid (polyethylene glycol 400). The difference between the color of the specimens cemented with the transparent liquid and that of the specimens cemented with each cement was calculated (ΔEab). The data were analyzed using 3-way analysis of variance and Tukey tests (5%). RESULTS Significant differences were observed for all factors and some interactions (P < .05). For Provicol QM Aesthetic, the shade and thickness did not influence the ΔEab. For Provicol and Temp-Bond NE, the lighter and thinner the specimen, the higher the ΔEab. Only Provicol QM Aesthetic had smaller means than the perceptibility threshold. Temp-Bond NE and Provicol had higher values than the acceptability threshold for some combinations. CONCLUSIONS The highly translucent cement had less color interference than the conventional materials. The thickness and resin shade only affected the results for the opaque cements. The thinner specimens and the lighter shades had higher color interference. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS The use of a more translucent cement can produce a smaller color interference on the esthetic outcome of interim restorations.

Abstract
A physiological disease of the pineapple fruit called pineapple translucency causes the pulp to become water-soaked, which affects the fruit's taste, flavor, shelf life, and integrity. In the present study, we analyzed seven pineapple varieties, of which three were watery and four were non-watery. There were no apparent macronutritional (K, P, or N) differences in their pulp, but the non-watery pineapple varieties had higher dry matter and soluble sugar content. The metabolomic analysis found 641 metabolites and revealed differential expression of alkaloids, phenolic acids, nucleotide derivatives, lipids, and other metabolites among the seven species. Transcriptome analysis and further KEGG enrichment showed downregulation of 'flavonoid biosynthesis' pathways, differential expression of metabolic pathways, secondary metabolites biosynthesis, plant-pathogen interaction, and plant hormone signal transduction. We believe this study will provide critical molecular data supporting a deeper understanding of pineapple translucency formation and greatly benefit future research on this commercially important crop.

Abstract
PURPOSE This in vitro study evaluated the color differences when discolored tooth substrates were restored with CAD-CAM monolithic ceramics depending on ceramic type and thickness, and the try-in paste shade. METHODS Six ceramic types were tested: high-translucent lithium disilicate (LD-HT); medium-translucent lithium disilicate (LD-MT); low-translucent lithium disilicate (LD-LT); low-translucent leucite (LC-LT); feldspathic ceramic (FC); BL1 low-translucent lithium disilicate, stained to A1 shade (LD-BL1-LT). The ceramics were tested in disc-shaped specimens with 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5mm thickness (n=10; N= 180; shade A1). The try-in pastes tested to simulate luting materials corresponded to colors A1 and opaque white (OW). Six substrates were used: A1 (reference), B2, B3, A3, C2, and C3. Color differences (ΔE00) and translucency parameter (TP00) were assessed with the CIEDE2000 formula. The results were compared with acceptability (AT = 1.77) and perceptibility (PT = 0.81) thresholds. RESULTS Ceramic type, thickness, and the try-in paste shade influenced the color differences. LD-LT and LC-LT ceramics and OW try-in paste provided, in general, lower ΔE00 values. The most adequate ceramic thickness varied according to the substrate discoloration. With 1.0 mm of ceramic thickness, it was possible to obtain ΔE00 lower than the PT for substrates C2 and A3, and ΔE00 lower than the AT for C3 and B3. ΔE00 lower than the AT were obtained with 0.5mm of ceramic thickness for B2, A3, and C2. CONCLUSION The use of low-translucent glass-ceramics and opaque white try-in paste are useful to reduce color differences. The most adequate ceramic thickness depends on the substrate discoloration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate the effect of different experimental staining procedures on color stability and translucency of a nano-hybrid resin-based composite (RBC). METHODS Forty-eight cylindrical-shaped specimens (10 × 2 mm) were prepared with a nano-hybrid RBC (Clearfil Majesty ES-2) and randomly divided in four groups according to the experimental staining procedure: G1) static immersion in a staining solution (coffee) (44 ± 1 °C); G2) staining cycling between coffee (44 ± 1°C) and distilled water (37 ± 1°C) with an experimental staining machine based on Arduino, an Open Source hardware development platform; G3) staining cycles as in G2 + brushing with a low abrasive toothpaste (Relative Dentin Abrasion RDA = 30) (Elmex Sensitive Professional); G4) staining cycles as in G3, with brushing performed with a very strong abrasive toothpaste (RDA = 90) (Lacult Active). Color parameters were recorded at the baseline (T0) after staining procedures (T1) and repolishing (T2) using a spectrophotometer. Color change (∆E00) and translucency (TP, CR) were evaluated. Data were statistically analyzed (p < 0.05). RESULTS For ∆E00 after staining, Group 1 showed the highest color change and Group 3 the lowest. All groups were significantly different (p < 0.001) except for Group 2 vs. Group 4; after repolishing, Group 1 was significantly higher than Group 3 (p < 0.001), Group 2 (p < 0.001), and Group 4 (p = 0.003); Group 2 was higher than Group 3 (p < 0.001). For TP variable, after staining procedures, Group 2 was significantly higher than all other groups (p < 0.001), and Group 1 was significantly higher than Group 3 (p < 0.001) and Group 4 (p = 0.007). After repolishing, Group 4 was significantly lower than Group 3 (p = 0.008) and Group 2 (p = 0.027). Repolishing procedure significantly reduced color parameters. CONCLUSIONS The investigated staining procedure induced significant differences in color stability and translucency. The use of a very strong abrasive toothpaste (RDA = 90) induced higher color change than a low abrasive one (RDA = 30). Repolishing procedures are able to partially reduce color change induced by artificial staining procedures.

Abstract
Introduction Nowadays, cosmetic demands are the first reason to visit dental clinic. However, most ceramic prostheses need an excessive removal of the dental structure, whether for full crowns or veneer preparation. With the innovation in ceramic materials, high translucent zirconia that demands minimal preparation with high aesthetic results was used for computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) Full ceramic crown fabrication. The objective of this study was to compare the translucency properties of CAD/CAM full ceramic crowns fabricated from glass ceramics (E.max) and high translucency zirconia (Lava plus, 3M EPSE). Material and methods The sample consisted of 60 full ceramic crowns divided into two groups; the first group consisted of 30 IPS E.max CAD/CAM full ceramic crowns, while the second one consisted of 30 high translucent zirconia CAD/CAM full ceramic crowns. Translucency for both groups was evaluated directly after cementation by observing the blue light passing through the prostheses. Pearson Chi-Square test was used to study the difference in translucency between the two study groups. Results IPS E.max CAD showed a higher translucency compared to lava plus high translucency zirconia; in addition, this difference was statistically significant (p=0.028). Conclusion Within the limitation of this study, we found that the translucency of dental ceramic was affected by the ceramic material. As IPS E.max CAD was significantly higher in terms of translucency compared to High Translucent Zirconia.

Abstract
AIM The computer-aided manufacture of esthetically pleasing monolithic dental restorations presents with specific challenges. One vital parameter to consider is the translucency of the materials. Previous studies have proven a correlation between translucency and material thickness for various all-ceramic materials. The aim of the present study was to assess and define the relationship between thickness and translucency in modern resin-based restorative materials. Materials and methods Specimens fabricated from two resin nano ceramics (Cerasmart, Lava Ultimate), a polymer-infiltrated ceramic network (Vita Enamic), and a polymethylmethacrylate (TelioCAD) were examined, representing these different material classes. For each material, 12 specimens (n=12) were fabricated in five thicknesses (0.4 mm, 0.7 mm, 1.0 mm, 1.3 mm, 1.6 mm; N=240). The translucency was measured with a spectrophotometer. The total light transmittance for each specimen was calculated applying specialized software. Regression curves were fitted to the results and their coefficient of determination (R²) fit determined. Results Logarithmic regression curves showed the best R² approximation (Cerasmart, R² = 0.994; Vita Enamic, R² = 0.978; Lava Ultimate, R² = 0.997; TelioCAD, R² = 0.997) to the light transmission values. Conclusion The results of this study indicate that the translucency of resin-based materials can be calculated using a mathematical approach to estimate their optical behavior. Cerasmart, Lava Ultimate, Vita Enamic, and TelioCAD exhibit a logarithmic relationship between material thickness and translucency. By determining material-specific coefficients for this logarithmic function, the resulting translucency can be computed for any given material thickness.

Abstract
Our visual experience of the world relies on the interaction of light with the different substances, surfaces, and objects in our environment. These optical interactions generate images that contain a conflated mixture of different scene variables, which our visual system must somehow disentangle to extract information about the shape and material properties of the world. Such problems have historically been considered to be ill-posed, but recent work suggests that there are complex patterns of covariation in light that co-specify the 3D shape and material properties of surfaces. This work provides new insights into how the visual system acquired the ability to solve problems that have historically been considered intractable.

Abstract
The differences in the optical properties of multi-layered zirconia with and without yttria-gradient are not fully understood. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the optical properties, related microstructures, and phase fractions of multi-layered zirconia with and without yttria-gradient. For this, multi-layered zirconia of 5 mol% yttria (5Y) stabilized (Katana STML) and 4Y/5Y stabilized (e.max MT Multi) were cut layerwise, sintered, and analyzed using the opalescence parameter (OP), average transmittance (AT%), translucency parameter (TP), and contrast ratio (CR). The average grain size and phase fractions were obtained from field-emission scanning electron micrographs and X-ray diffraction patterns, respectively. Although the TP values of Katana STML and e.max MT Multi did not show a significant difference (except for transition layer 1), the results of AT and CR showed that the translucency of e.max MT Multi was slightly higher than that of Katana STML (p < 0.05). The opalescence gradient was higher in Katana STML than in the e.max MT Multi. In both zirconia types, translucency increased from the dentin to enamel layer based on the AT, TP, and CR results, while OP decreased (p < 0.05). The higher translucency from the dentin to enamel layer in Katana STML was caused by the pigmentation gradient, while in e.max MT Multi, it was caused by the difference in phase fraction and the pigmentation gradient.

Abstract
We aimed to assess the influence of professional dental prophylaxis on the translucency and color stability of a novel simplified shade nanohybrid composite material. Sixty composite disks (5 mm in diameter and 2 mm thick) of light (n = 30) and dark (n = 30) shades were prepared. The specimens were randomly divided into the following three groups (n = 10) according to the prophylaxis procedure used: ultrasonic scaling, air-powder polishing with sodium bicarbonate, and controls. The specimens were submitted to translucency and color analysis based on the CIELab system. Two measurements were performed before and after 48-h storage in coffee. Translucency values of untreated light and dark specimens were 9.15 ± 0.38 and 5.28 ± 1.10, respectively. Air-powder polishing decreased the translucency of the light composite specimens. Storage in coffee resulted in color changes (∆E) ranging between 2.69 and 12.05 and a mean translucency decrease ranging between -0.88 and -6.91. The samples in the light group tended to exhibit greater staining; the treatment method had no effect on ∆E. It can be concluded that light-shade composite restorations are more prone to translucency and color changes resulting from air-powder polishing and contact with staining media. However, further research using other composites and powders is required.

Abstract
This study investigated the translucency of 3D-printed denture base resins modified with zirconium dioxide nanoparticles (ZrO2NPs) under thermal cycling. A total of 110 specimens were fabricated and divided into 3 groups according to the materials, i.e., heat-polymerized resin, and 3D-printed resins (NextDent, and ASIGA). The 3D-printed resins were modified with 0, 0.5, 1, 3, and 5 wt.% of ZrO2NPs. All the specimens were subjected to 5000 thermal cycles. The translucency was measured using a spectrophotometer. The results showed that the heat-polymerized resin had considerably higher translucency than the 3D-printed resins. Compared to the unmodified group, the translucency decreased significantly after adding 5% ZrO2NPs to NextDent and 3% ZrO2NPs to ASIGA resins. The highest translucency was achieved for NextDent by adding 0.5% ZrO2NPs and for ASIGA without any ZrO2NPs. It was found that the average concentration level in ASIGA was significantly higher than that in NextDent. These findings revealed that 3D-printed resins have lower translucency than heat-polymerized acrylic resin, and adding ZrO2NPs at low concentrations did not affect the translucency of the 3D-printed resins. Therefore, in terms of translucency, 3D-printed nanocomposite denture base resins could be considered for clinical applications when ZrO2NPs are added at low concentrations.

Abstract
Flexural strength (FS) and translucency (Contrast Ratio-CR) of three different factory crystallized silica-based glass ceramics, Celtra Duo (CD), N!ce (NI) and Li-Si Block, a lithium disilicate, IPS e.max CAD (LD), and a leucite-reinforced feldspathic ceramic, Empress CAD (EM), in two different translucencies (HT and LT) for use in chairside dental restorations have been compared. CAD blocks of the materials were cut into beams and tiles and processed following manufacturers’ instructions. The beams were tested (3-PBT) to determine flexural strength, Weibull characteristic strength, and Weibull modulus; and tiles were tested to determine CR. All data were statistically analyzed. In addition, SEM analysis of the materials was performed. Differences in flexural strength (FS) and translucency (CR) between the materials were found to be statistically significant. FS decreased as follows (MPa): LDHT 350.88 ± 19.77 (a) = LDLT 343.57 ± 18.48 (a) > LSLT 202.15 ± 17.41 (b) = LSHT 196.93 ± 8.87 > NIHT 186.69 ± 13.06 (c) = CDLT 184.73 ± 13.63 (c) = CDHT 174.15 ± 21.76 (c) = NILT 172.12 ± 11.98 (c) > EMHT 131.16 ± 13.33 (e) = EMLT 127.65 ± 11.09. CR decreased as follows (mean ± sd): CDLT 74.1 ± 1.1 (a); LSLT 74.0 ± 1.1 (ab); NILT 73.3 ± 0.8 (ab); EMLT 73.0 ± 1.5 (ab); NIHT 72.4 ± 1.0 (bc); LDLT 71.3 ± 1.1 (bc); LTHT 65.2 ± 0.9 (de); LSHT 63.8 ± 1.1 (def); EMHT 636 ± 1.2 (ef); CDHT 62.2 ± 0.8 (f). Our findings show that factory-crystallized lithium silicate glass ceramics fulfill ISO standards for Classes 1 and 2. Therefore, they can be considered viable alternatives to produce single-unit restorations with a chairside procedure not requiring thermal treatment.

Abstract
RGB-D cameras have become common in many research fields since these inexpensive devices provide dense 3D information from the observed scene. Over the past few years, the RealSense™ range from Intel® has introduced new, cost-effective RGB-D sensors with different technologies, more sophisticated in both hardware and software. Models D415, SR305, and L515 are examples of successful cameras launched by Intel® RealSense™ between 2018 and 2020. These three cameras are different since they have distinct operating principles. Then, their behavior concerning depth estimation while in the presence of many error sources will also be specific. For instance, semi-transparent and scattering media are expected error sources for an RGB-D sensor. The main new contribution of this paper is a full evaluation and comparison between the three Intel RealSense cameras in scenarios with transparency and translucency. We propose an experimental setup involving an aquarium and liquids. The evaluation, based on repeatability/precision and statistical distribution of the acquired depth, allows us to compare the three cameras and conclude that Intel RealSense D415 has overall the best behavior namely in what concerns the statistical variability (also known as precision or repeatability) and also in what concerns valid measurements.

Abstract
Translucent zirconia is becoming the material of choice for the esthetic restorative material. We aimed to evaluate the surface structure, phase determination, translucency, and flexural strength of 5Y-TZP Zirconia (Katana STML Block and Disc) between the regular sintering and the speed sintering with and without low-temperature degradation (LTD). A total of 60 zirconia discs (30 per group; regular sintering and speed sintering) were used in this study. A CAM machine was used to mill cylinders out of the zirconia blanks and then cut into smaller discs. For the speed sintering, the zirconia blocks were milled into smaller discs. The zirconia discs were subjected to regular and speed sintering with and without LTD. Scanning electron microscopy was used to characterize the zirconia specimens and the zirconia grain size. Furthermore, the zirconia specimens were analyzed for elemental analysis using energy dispersive spectroscopy and phase identification using X-ray diffraction. The zirconia specimens were subjected to translucency measurements and biaxial flexural strength testing. The results of the zirconia specimens were compared among the groups. Statistical analysis was completed using SPSS version 20.0 to detect the statistically significant differences (p value = 0.05). A one-way ANOVA with multiple comparisons was performed using Scheffe analysis among the groups. The speed sintering presented smaller grain sizes. The zirconia specimens with and without LTD in regular and speed sintering presented a similar surface structure. Regular sintering showed more translucency compared to speed sintering. Multiple comparisons of the translucency parameter were a significant difference (p value < 0.05) between the various groups except for the comparison between speed sintering and speed sintering LTD. The regular sintering showed bigger gain sizes and slightly more translucency compared to speed sintering. The speed sintering showed higher biaxial flexural strengths compared to regular sintering. This shows that speed sintering can be considered a suitable method of sintering zirconia.

Abstract
A standard cooling rate has not been established for glazing; therefore, the effects of the cooling rate on the properties of zirconia need to be evaluated to predict outcomes in clinical practice. 4Y-TZP glazed at three different cooling rates was analyzed to estimate the effect of cooling rate during glazing on the mechanical and optical properties. Hardness tests, field-emission scanning electron microscopy analysis, X-ray diffraction analysis, flexural strength measurement, and optical property evaluations were performed. When 4Y-TZP was glazed at a higher cooling rate (Cooling-1) than the normal cooling rate (Cooling-2), there was no significant difference in grain size, flexural strength, average transmittance, and translucency parameters. The hardness was slightly reduced. The opalescence parameter was reduced for the 2.03 mm thick specimens. When 4Y-TZP was glazed at a lower cooling rate (Cooling-3) than the normal cooling rate, there was no significant difference in hardness, grain size, flexural strength, and translucency parameters. In addition, the average transmittance and opalescence parameters were slightly reduced for the 0.52 and 2.03 mm specimens, respectively. The effects of the cooling rate during glazing on the mechanical and optical properties of 4Y-TZP appear to be minimal and clinically insignificant. Therefore, even if the cooling rate cannot be strictly controlled during glazing, the clinical outcomes will not be significantly affected.

Abstract
A study is made of relationships between composition, processing, structure and properties of biphasic zirconia bioceramics. The focus is on zirconia compositions with different yttria dopant contents used in modern dental restorations, namely 3 - 5 mol% yttria stabilized zirconia (3YSZ, 4YSZ, and 5YSZ). Crystallographies and densities are surveyed, sintering conditions examined, and microstructures characterized. Strength and optical tests are conducted on each YSZ, and dependencies on sintering temperature, cubic content and grain size analyzed. Strength correlates with the amount of tetragonal zirconia (t-ZrO2) crystals with large lattice distortions (tetragonality). YSZ translucency correlates with content of cubic zirconia (c-ZrO2) and t-ZrO2 with low levels of tetragonality. Consistent with literature reporting, the materials rank in decreasing order 3YSZ, 4YSZ to 5YSZ for strength but increasing order for translucency. However, for a given composition, the data suggest that the strengths of densely sintered 3YSZ and 4YSZ actually increase with translucency, although that of 5YSZ remains undiminished. These trends are in apparent contradiction to prevailing experience, and offer potential future processing routes to optimization of clinical materials.

Abstract
The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effects of substrate and cement shades on the translucency and color of lithium-disilicate and zirconia CAD/CAM materials. Two light-cured resin cements (RelyX Veneer Cement; 3M; Choice 2 Veneer Cement; Bisco Dental) with a standardized thickness (0.1 mm) were tested in combination with two different monolithic CAD/CAM materials (E-Max CAD (LI2SI2O5); Ivoclar Vivadent; Katana (ZrO2); Kuraray-Noritake Dental) on two different colored composite substrates used as a dentin (Filtek Supreme XTE; 3M); for a total of 12 combinations (n = 10). The specimens’ color was measured with a spectrophotometer (Spectroshade; MHT). Measurements were taken using the CIELAB color coordinate system (L*a*b*) against black and white backgrounds. L*a*b* values were statistically analyzed for the variables Substrate, Ceramic, and Cement by applying a Three-Way ANOVA followed by the Tukey Test for post-hoc comparison (p < 0.05). Translucency Parameter (TP) and Constant Ratio (CR) were assessed to evaluate translucency; acceptability and perceptibility thresholds (ΔE00 1.8 and 0.8) were used. Statistically significant influence was found for factors ceramic material, cement shade, and substrate color (p < 0.05). Unacceptable color differences were reported for Li2Si2O5. Opacity was significantly higher when white opaque cement shade was employed. Ceramic type and cement shade significantly influenced L*a*b* color coordinates. The final translucency and color of ceramic restorations can, therefore, be influenced by ceramic material, cement shade, and substrate color.

Abstract
Translucency is one of the most important parameters to be considered by digital systems when predicting the matching appearance and hence the quality of prosthodontic restoration work. Our objective has been to improve the effectiveness of the algorithmic decision systems employed by these devices by (a) determining whether Kubelka-Munk theory can be used as an algorithm for predicting restoration suitability, and (b) evaluating the correlation between the visual evaluation of prosthodontic materials and the predicted translucency based on the use of the ΔE*, OP, CR, and K/S algorithms. In this regard, three zirconia systems and one lithium disilicate have been spectrophotometrically and visually characterized. Based on the results of this study, it has been proven that zirconia systems and lithium disilicate systems exhibit different optical behaviors. The psychophysical experience suggests that none of the existing mathematical methods can adequately estimate translucency, spectrophotometric, and colorimetric techniques, and that which is perceived by an experienced observer. However, translucency evaluation through the K/S algorithmic decision system should not be disregarded. New methods to measure translucency should be developed to improve digital systems for prosthodontic applications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to review the experimental staining procedures performed in in-vitro studies for evaluating color stability of resin-based composites used for direct restorations. OVERVIEW A review was performed with the purpose to identify in vitro procedures carried out to establish staining and color stability of resin-based composites used for direct restorations. A literature search was performed on four online databases (PubMed, Scopus, Embase and Web of Science) for articles published from January 1st 2001 till March 20th 2021, using a combination of free words and Medical Subject Headings (MESH) terms: "Composite Resins" AND "Color Stability" OR "Staining." Two reviewers screened titles and/or abstracts of 1728 unique studies. In total, 208 studies were selected for full-text reading, from which 178 were included in the review. The assessed variables were specimen dimensions, shape, and surface finishing; time before immersion; staining media type, dwell time, temperature and renewal interval; type of composite; color and translucency assessment parameters and measuring system. One hundred and seventy-eight articles analyzed color stability with staining liquids. Coffee was the most used staining medium (n = 102), followed by tea (n = 61), and red wine (n = 55). A disc-shaped specimen was used in most studies (n = 170) with a 2 mm thickness (n = 116). Spectrophotometers were the most used color assessment devices (n = 154), followed by colorimeters (n = 17). Color differences were quantified with ΔE (n = 154), ΔE00 (n = 23). Acceptability and or perceptibility thresholds were also taken into consideration (n = 126). CONCLUSIONS The large variety of staining procedure suggests the need for standardization. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Aesthetic failure due to discoloration is a relevant clinical problem. Evaluating benefits and drawbacks of resin based composites artificial staining procedures will improve to predict materials clinical performances.

Abstract
The human visual system can derive information about three-dimensional (3D) shape from the structure of light reflected by surfaces. Most research on single static images has focused on the 3D shape information contained in variations of brightness caused by interactions between the illumination and local surface orientation (“shading”).1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 Although color can enhance the recovery of surface shading when color and brightness vary independently,7, 8, 9 there is no evidence that color alone provides any information about 3D shape. Here, we show that the wavelength-dependent reflectance of chromatic materials provides information about the 3D shape of translucent materials. We show that different wavelengths of light undergo varying degrees of subsurface light transport, which generates multiple forms of spatial structure: wavelengths that are weakly reflected generate shading-like image structure, linked to 3D surface orientation, whereas wavelengths that penetrate more deeply into the material are primarily constrained by the direction of surface curvature (convexities and concavities).10 Psychophysical experiments demonstrate that the enhanced perception of 3D shape in chromatic translucent surfaces arises from the shading structure generated by weakly reflected wavelengths, which, in turn, generates correlated spatial variations in saturation. These results demonstrate a new functional role for color in the perception of the 3D shape of translucent materials. Color carries information used to perceive three-dimensional shape Translucent surfaces internally scatter some wavelengths of light more than others Wavelengths weakly scattered carry information about surface orientation Wavelengths strongly scattered carry information about surface curvature

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to analyze the color infiltration in monolithic zirconia after grinding, which plays an essential role in the color stability of restorations after occlusal adjustment. METHODS One hundred and eight white zirconia plates (36 Dentsply Sirona-Cercon high translucency [C], 36 Zirkonzahn-Prettau [P], 36 Zirkonzahn-Prettau anterior [Pa]) were stained by infiltration with target colors Vita A2, A3.5, and A4. In a standardized experimental setup, all plates were grinded in nine successive steps (from baseline to 500 μm), and color was measured with a spectroradiometer at each grinding step. Color differences ΔE00 between initial color and after each grinding step were calculated. The data was analyzed using regression, Kruskal-Wallis test, inverse prediction, and simultaneous 95%-confidence intervals. RESULTS Grinding had a significant effect on color stability across all zirconia types and target colors (p < 0.001). At each cut level and target color, ΔE00 means for groups C, P, and Pa were statistically different (p < 0.05). Among the three zirconia types, Pa had the lowest ΔE00 mean score for cut levels 20-100 μm for A2 and between 50 and 300 μm for A3.5 and A4. For all other cut levels, differences between Pa and P were not significant (α = 0.05). C had the largest mean ΔE00 except for A4 until 100 μm, where it was second best. CONCLUSION Zirconia type had a significant effect on the color infiltration depth across all target colors. Pa showed the best color stability until 150 μm material reduction, whereas C presented significantly less color stability than the other two zirconia materials. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Color stability is important for minimizing the risk of restoration failure due to unacceptable color changes after grinding. Pa is less susceptible to color change and has an additional buffer of 60 μm until exceeding the color acceptability threshold. When higher flexural strength is needed, P is to be preferred.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the water sorption, solubility, and translucency of 3D-printed denture base resins (NextDent, FormLabs, and Asiga), compare them to heat-polymerized acrylic denture base resins, and assess their performance under the effects of thermal cycling. A total of 80 acrylic disc specimens were used in the current study, categorized into four groups (n = 10); in one group, the samples were fabricated conventionally with a heat-polymerizing process (control), while the other three groups were fabricated digitally from different 3D-printed reins (NextDent, FormLabs, and Asiga). Specimens were fabricated according to the manufacturers’ recommendations and immersed in distilled water for 48 h at 37 °C. Data on water sorption, solubility, and translucency measurements (T1) were obtained. All the specimens were subjected to 5000 thermal cycles, and then the measures were repeated using the same method (T2). Data analysis was attained via ANOVA and the post hoc Tukey test (α = 0.05). The type of resin significantly affected the values of water sorption, solubility, and translucency (p < 0.001). The water sorption of 3D-printed resins was increased significantly in comparison to control with or without a thermal cycling effect. In terms of solubility, a significant increase in 3D-printed resins before thermocycling was observed; however, after thermocycling, Asiga had a significantly low value compared to the other groups (p < 0.001). Thermal cycling increased the water sorption and solubility of all tested materials. In comparison to control, the translucency of the 3D-printed resins was significantly decreased (p < 0.001). The translucency was significantly decreased per material in terms of the thermal cycling effect (before and after). NextDent showed significantly low translucency values (p < 0.001) compared to the other groups. All 3D-printed resin groups had higher water sorption and solubility and lower translucency values in comparison to the heat-polymerized resin group. Regardless of resin types, thermal cycling adversely affected all tested properties.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To review the ultrastructural characteristics of novel lithium disilicate based glass ceramics (LDC), how their manufacturing process influences their structure and their clinical use. OVERVIEW Lithium disilicate based glass ceramic has been successfully used for indirect restorations ranging from partial tooth coverage up to tooth replacement for over 20 years. It combines esthetic and mechanical properties, unlike any other indirect material which makes it an indispensable part of esthetic and restorative dentistry. Recently, novel LDCs have been introduced to the market. Parameters for their use and their microstructure are still not been widely known. This article will review these materials and highlight with high-resolution scanning electron microscopic images their structural aspects and their resulting clinical relevance. CONCLUSION Restorations made from LDCs are reliable and can be predictably used only when proper guidelines and protocols during manufacturing and clinical use are followed. For novel LDCs manufacturing and long-term bonding protocols still must be established. Moreover, novel LDCs machinable blocks should be crystallized or heat-treated after milling for superior performance. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE With more and newer etchable LDC materials entering the market, clinicians and technicians need to be aware of the differences in manufacturing and the resulting microstructure to ensure a successful treatment outcome that will last.

Abstract
Shade matching is a common challenge that dentists face during fabrication of esthetic dental restoration. Thus, the aim of the current study was to assess the masking ability of two types of CAD/CAM ceramics for gaining high esthetic prosthesis. This in vitro study used a total sample size of 66 lithium disilicate (LD) and leucite reinforced (LR) CAD/CAM ceramics sub-grouped into three thicknesses: 0.5, 1, and 1.5 mm. Nine shades of natural dentin die materials were prepared as a replica of the underlying tooth structure. The difference in color (ΔE) and translucency parameter (TP) were assessed for both tested ceramics at the three thicknesses. One-way ANOVA was performed to compare the three thicknesses of each ceramic, followed by multiple pairwise comparisons between both ceramics. LR had significantly higher ΔE than LD at all thicknesses used unlike the case in TP. Thickness of 0.5 mm exhibited the highest ΔE and TP, while 1.5 mm thickness showed the lowest ΔE and TP in both ceramics. Increase in ceramic thickness had a great impact on both color masking ability of the underlying tooth structure and its translucency. The higher the ceramic thickness, the better the masking ability and the lower the translucency was reported.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the surface roughness, microhardness, color change, and translucency of a newly marketed universal nanohybrid composite resin (CR) (G-aenial A'CHORD) comparing with four contemporary universal CRs including two nanofilled (Filtek and Estelite Asteria) and two nanohybrid CRs (Charisma Dimond and Neo Spectra ST HV in vitro). Sixty-five specimens (8.0 mm × 2.0 mm) were fabricated (n = 13, per group). After finishing and polishing, specimens were subjected to surface roughness and microhardness tests. Color and translucency of the specimens were evaluated at baseline and after darkening with coffee solution at day 1 and day 7. A representative specimen from each group was investigated under scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Data was analyzed statistically (p < .05). There were significant differences among the groups in terms of surface roughness, microhardness, color, and translucency. The surface roughness was recorded as: Charisma Diamond > Neo Spectra ST HV, Filtek > Estelite Asteria, G-aenial A'CHORD, whereas Vickers Hardness number was as: Filtek, Charisma Diamond > Neo Spectra ST HV > G-aenial A'CHORD, Estelite Asteria. Color change was as: Charisma Diamond > Neo Spectra ST HV, Filtek, G-aenial A'CHORD > Estelite Asteria and the translucency was as: Neo Spectra ST HV > G-aenial A'CHORD, Filtek > Estelite Asteria, Charisma Diamond. SEM examinations revealed smooth surfaces for G-aenial A'CHORD, Neo Spectra ST HV and Estelite Asteria. Mechanical and optical properties of universal composite resins with different compositions show variations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of thickness, cement shade, and coffee thermocycling (CTC) on the optical properties of zirconia reinforced lithium silicate (ZLS) paired with different shades of a resin cement. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty ZLS specimens were prepared in two different thicknesses (0.8 and 1.5 mm) and three different resin cement shades (Tr, A2, and A3) were applied (n = 5). Color determinations were done before and after 5000 CTC by using a noncontact spectroradiometer. Color change due to CTC and relative translucency parameter (RTP) before and after CTC were calculated by using CIEDE2000. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and Bonferroni-corrected t-tests(α = 0.05). RESULTS Material thickness and resin cement shade (P < 0.001) affected baseline color. Material thickness affected color difference (P = 0.025). Thickness, resin cement shade, and CTC (P ≤ 0.0001) affected RTP. The difference between the color changes of the 0.8- and 1.5-mm specimens combined with A2 shade cement after CTC was significant (P = 0.01). RTPs of all pairs decreased after CTC (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Cement shade and material thickness affected the baseline color. The thickness of ZLS affected the color change after CTC only with A2 resin cement and the color change was less when the ZLS was thicker. CTC reduced the translucency of all pairs. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Clinicians and patients should be aware of a potential color change after long-term coffee consumption when zirconia reinforced lithium silicate is used particularly for laminate veneers with A2 shade of the tested resin cement.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Resin composite (RC) layering is increasingly popular in restorative dentistry. However, little is known regarding the color interaction between RC layers. The objective of this article is to review the current literature on color interaction between RC layers and its effect on the overall appearance of the double-layer restoration. OVERVIEW A literature review was conducted on theoretical and experimental in vitro studies that tested layered RC systems using different thicknesses. This article discusses specimen design, color measurement methods and devices, parameters defined as outcomes, and RC shades and systems used in the studies of double-layered RC that were reviewed here. Relevant clinical findings and gaps that still exist in the literature were also highlighted. CONCLUSIONS Various methods to test layered RC were found in the literature. Each study had a unique design and provided valuable information on color interaction between the enamel and dentin layers that could be applied to clinical use. For more predictable esthetic outcomes, manufacturers could provide tailored recommendations specific for their RC systems, stating the recommended thickness and shade for each layer used in the RC layering technique. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE With increased variability in RC shades and manufacturers, it is often difficult to predict the final overall color of restoration with multiple layers. Advancing research on RC layering will help clinicians deliver the best customized restorative treatment tailored to the needs and expectations of their patients. Future research along these lines can enhance the efficiency of chair time and will increase the satisfaction of both clinicians and patients.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to investigate the effects of bleaching on the color, translucency, surface roughness, and surface hardness of monolithic zirconia with external stainin . Methods In this experimental study, 32 specimens of monolithic zirconia (1 × 1 mm; shade A2) were divided into two groups based on random permuted blocks. Overglaze and staining procedures were performed with a yellow stain or a value stain (GC Stain). Baseline color, translucency, roughness, and surface hardness were measured. The specimens were then randomly bleached with hydrogen peroxide (HP) 40% (20 min, twice with a 1‐week interval in between) as office bleaching or carbamide peroxide (CP) 20% (4 h per day for 14 days) as home bleaching. Finally, the color, translucency, surface roughness, and surface hardness were measured again. Results Bleaching with CP and HP caused a perceptible change in the color of the specimens (ΔE > 2), although this change was within the clinically acceptable range (ΔE < 3.3). HP significantly reduced the surface hardness of the specimens (p = 0.043). Changes in surface roughness of the specimens were neither statistically nor clinically significant (p = 0.19 and p = 0.25 for office and home bleaching, respectively). Conclusion The effects of home and office bleaching on the surface characteristics of monolithic zirconia were almost the same. It is not necessary to exchange or even to polish the surfaces of zirconia restorations after exposure to bleaching agents. Further studies are recommended to confirm the color stability of externally stained monolithic zirconia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To conduct a systematic review on the masking ability of discolored substrates, analyzing the capacity and quality of the response produced by the different methodologies and techniques applied to overcome this clinical challenge. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. The electronic search was conducted in MEDLINE/PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science databases, without date restriction. In vitro studies, written in English, applying different methodologies to evaluate masking ability were included. The variables of interest were: type, color and thickness of the restorative and/or cement material; use of pigments in the restorative material and/or cement; color of the substrate; and background color used for the evaluations. RESULTS Database search retrieved 307 eligible papers with a final inclusion of 47 published papers. Approximately 98% of the studies used ΔE, 36% used TP, and only 6% used CR to evaluate the masking ability of restorative materials. CONCLUSIONS The most appropriate methodology to evaluate the masking ability is using color difference equations (ΔE) associated with the perceptibility and acceptability thresholds. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE As different methodologies have been used to evaluate the masking ability of esthetic restorative materials on colored substrates, there is an urgent need to reach a consensus and propose a method, which is suggested by the present systematic review.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The esthetic outcome of a dental restoration largely depends on the translucency of the materials used, especially for monolithic restorations. Research has been published reporting a correlation between translucency and material thickness. However, no mathematical formula has been described yet. The aim of the present study was to determine the mathematical relationship between material thickness and translucency of three dental ceramic materials. MATERIAL AND METHODS Three representative all-ceramic materials were taken out of the group of silicate ceramics (IPS Empress CAD LT), lithium X-silicate ceramics (IPS e.max CAD LT), and oxide ceramics (Lava Plus HT). Sixty specimens with five different thicknesses (0.4, 0.7, 1.0, 1.3, and 1.6 mm; N = 60, n = 12) were produced out of each ceramic (N = 180). A spectrophotometer was used to measure the transmittance coefficient tc[%] for each wavelength within the visible light spectrum, and the total light transmittance (T%) was calculated for each specimen. Linear, exponential, and logarithmic regression curves were fitted to the results. RESULTS The logarithmic regression curves exhibited the best correlation (R2; IPS Empress CAD LT, R2 = 0.996; IPS e.max CAD LT, R2 = 0.987; Lava Plus HT, R2 = 0.907) to the transmittance values. CONCLUSION Within the limitations of the present study, the transmittance behavior of silicate ceramics, lithium-X-silicate ceramics, and oxide ceramics can be described by a logarithmic equation. The findings of this study therefore suggest that the optical behavior might be calculable by a mathematical approach.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze translucency variations among four different contemporary esthetic ceramic systems having different shades and thicknesses. MATERIAL AND METHODS Ceramic specimens having different shades and translucencies were tested: leucite reinforced glass-ceramic (ECAD), conventional feldspathic ceramic (Noritake), zirconia reinforced lithium silicate glass-ceramic (Suprinity) and hybrid ceramic (Enamic). Specimens of 0.6, 0.9, 1.2, 1.5 and 2.0-mm thickness (n = 3/group, 615 total) were prepared. Translucency (TP) and Relative Translucency (RTP) Parameters were calculated from spectroradiometric color readings. Effects of shade and thickness for a given system were statistically analyzed using MANOVA and Tukey post-hoc multiple comparisons tests. Translucency variations were assessed comparatively with literature-based perceptibility and acceptability thresholds. RESULTS TP/RTP values of all ceramic materials decreased with increasing thickness. The most translucent specimens were 0.6-mm thick ECAD HT-A3.5 (TP = 31.99) and ECAD HT-C2 (RTP = 23.75), while the least translucent was 2-mm thick Enamic T-3 M2 (TP = 7.27; RTP = 4.79). Thickness and material type significantly influenced translucency (p < 0.001). Noritake and ECAD LT showed similar translucency values, as well as Suprinity HT and ECAD LT. CONCLUSIONS For ceramic restorations thicker than 0.9-mm, any thickness increase of 0.3-0.5 mm produces a perceptible but clinically acceptable translucency variation. Increases in thickness larger than 0.6-mm will result in an unacceptable translucency shift. Dental practitioners need to recognize key factors that influence translucency of ceramic restorations in order to choose the optimal material, shade, translucency, and thickness suitable for different clinical scenarios. While shade plays a minor role in translucency variation, ceramic type and restoration thickness significantly affect overall translucency.

Abstract
The problem of extracting the three-dimensional (3D) shape and material properties of surfaces from images is considered to be inherently ill posed. It is thought that a priori knowledge about either 3D shape is needed to infer material properties, or knowledge about material properties are needed to derive 3D shape. Here, we show that there is information in images that cospecify both the material composition and 3D shape of light permeable (translucent) materials. Specifically, we show that the intensity gradients generated by subsurface scattering, the shape of self-occluding contours, and the distribution of specular reflections covary in systematic ways that are diagnostic of both the surface's 3D shape and its material properties. These sources of image covariation emerge from being causally linked to a common environmental source: 3D surface curvature. We show that these sources of covariation take the form of "photogeometric constraints," which link variations in intensity (photometric constraints) to the sign and direction of 3D surface curvature (geometric constraints). We experimentally demonstrate that this covariation generates emergent cues that the visual system exploits to derive the 3D shape and material properties of translucent surfaces and demonstrate the potency of these cues by constructing counterfeit images that evoke vivid percepts of 3D shape and translucency. The concepts of covariation and cospecification articulated herein suggest a principled conceptual path forward for identifying emergent cues that can be used to solve problems in vision that have historically been assumed to be ill posed.

Abstract
Objective When restorative resin composites absorb light from the surrounding tooth structures, it creates a color-match, which is known as ‘a chameleon effect’. In this study, series of co-monomer mixtures were prepared with an increasing refraction index (RI) and mixed with glass fillers. The aim of this study was to optimize the mismatch of RI of resin/fillers to create the chameleon effect. Materials and Methods BisGMA/TEGDMA resins were prepared with seven different mix fractions from 20 to 80%. Two different series (A&B) of submicron (Ø 0.7 μm) silanized fillers (70 wt%) (A: Schott RI = 1.53, B: Esschem RI = 1.54) were mixed with resins (30 wt%). Disc-shaped specimens (1 mm thickness, Ø10 mm) for each composite combination (n = 3) were prepared and light cured for 20 s. Commercial resin composite (OmniChroma, Tokuyama Dental) was used as control. The translucency parameter (TP) was measured using a spectrophotometer. The color matching abilities of the experimental composites were visually analyzed. Data were statistically analyzed using ANOVA. Results The composition of resin and type of fillers had a statistically significant effect on TP values (p < .05). The highest TP values were achieved around 50%-50% fractions of Bis-GMA and TEGDMA for series A and around 60%-40% fraction of Bis-GMA and TEGDMA for series B. Data showed that a high or low fraction of BisGMA resulted in a low translucent composite. Experimental resin composite (80% Bis-GMA) from series A was behaving similarly to Omnichroma in reference to TP values and color matching. Conclusions Including fillers with RI of 1.53 into BisGMA/TEGDMA resin with RI of 1.524 resulted in composite resin providing a good color match with surrounding structure ‘chameleon effect’.
