Evaluation of the Color of Zirconia in Different Substrates of Osseointegrated Implants, Thickness of Materials and Types of Resin Cements

Abstract

Significance: Color changes of zirconia luted to titanium are primarily affected by the color of the substrate if a translucent cement was used. Vice versa, the application of an opaque cement effectively masked the dark substrate color. Substrate color and choice of cement have to be taken into consideration when performing shade selection.
