Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To use the Kubelka-Munk theory to evaluate the scattering (S), absorption (K) and transmittance (T) of non-colored and colored dental zirconia systems and human (HD) and bovine (BD) dentins. METHODS: Two zirconia systems were used: ZC- ZirCAD (Ivoclar Vivadent) and LV-LAVA (3M ESPE). Specimens from each ceramic system were divided into 3 groups (n=5): ZC1 and LV1 (non-colored); ZC2 and LV2 colored to shade A1, and ZC3 and LV3 colored to shade A3. Five human and bovine anterior teeth were flattened and polished through 1200 grit SiC paper to expose the superficial buccal dentin. All samples were prepared to a final thickness of 0.5 mm. Diffuse reflectance was measured against white and black backgrounds, using a spectroradiometer in a viewing booth with D65 illuminant and d/0° geometry. S and K coefficients and T were calculated using Kubelka-Munk's equations. Data was statistically analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney tests, and VAF coefficient. RESULTS: Spectral distributions of S, K and T were wavelength dependent. The spectral behavior of S and T was similar to HD (VAF≥96.80), even though they were statistically different (p≤0.05). The spectral behavior of K was also similar to HD, except for LV1 (VAF=38.62), yet all ceramics were statistically different from HD (p≤0.05). HD and BD showed similar values of S and T (p>0.05). SIGNIFICANCE: The dental professional should consider the optical behavior differences between the zirconia systems evaluated and the human dentin to achieve optimal esthetics in restorative dentistry.
