Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo study the effect of repeated firings on color of porcelain-fused-to-titanium restorations.
METHODSTwenty standard porcelain-fused-to-titanium specimens were made with Dentsply DETREY TiBond C3 and Dentaurum rematitan Til. Then they were fired 1, 2, 4, 7, and 10 times. Color measurement was done after each firing.
RESULTMost of the color parameters had no significant difference after firing except for a* and Hab. All the color difference among groups were smaller than 1.0 (deltaE < 1.0).
CONCLUSIONRepeated firings will not affect the color stability of porcelain-fused-to-titanium restorations.
