Do effect of firing on the color stability of a light-cured ceramic stain?
A light-cured porcelain stain system was evaluated for color stability between light-cured and fired stages. Within the conditions of this study, the following conclusions can be made: (1) There was no clinically significant color difference between light-cured and fired stages for the stain colors evaluated; and (2) the final color of the restorations altered with light-cured stains can be predicted before firing.
The study indicates that further investigation into baseline BMD values for the SCI population is required to improve information provided to patients and assessment of fracture risk on an individual basis.
