introduction: the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of flask investment materials on the color changes of different brands of resin denture teeth. methods: resin denture teeth (560) were divided into 2 groups according to the materials used for flask investment (silicone or gypsum). all the specimens were thermocycled between 4°c and 60°c with 60-s dwell times for 1,000 cycles...

Background and Aim: Color match between prosthetic restorations and natural teeth is challenging in dentistry. The aim of the current study was to assess the effect of accelerated aging on color stability of two silica-based ceramics with leucite and lithium disilicate crystalline phases after glazing and polishing surface treatments. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 30 disc-...

We present a two-step method for the localization of displays using cameras and visual markers on screens. Displays can attract attention by flashing in a characteristic pattern and color. Once they’re found by a camera, their exact position can be calculated robustly from a set of markers they show. To make the method numerically stable, a certain degree of redundancy must exist in the environ...

conclusions coffee caused the most color changes in the examined resin denture teeth. tea and cola left less staining on the teeth, and distilled water caused the least discoloration. generally, investing by heat- and cold-cured acrylic resins can significantly affect the color stability of resin denture teeth; however, heat-cured acrylic resins had fewer color changes. results there were signi...

Introduction:Discoloration of the resin-based composites is a common problem in restorative dentistry. There are many factors associated with the discoloration of dental materials in the oral environment. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the color changes in a nano-composite cured with a quartz-tungsten-halogen (QTH) and light emitting diode (LED) unit. Methods:80 disk-shaped specim...

introduction: discoloration of resin composites is a common reason for replacement of these restorations. the aim of this study was to eva-luate the influence of different light curing de-vices on color stability of a microhybrid resin composite. materials and methods: 80 disc-shaped speci-mens (8 mm in diameter, 2-mm height) were fabricated from filtek z250 resin composite. specimens were divid...

The influence of different factors on the asphaltene stability in three iranian crude oils was evaluated. Compositional studies ...
