Quantification of the amount of blue light passing through monolithic zirconia with respect to thickness and polymerization conditions

Dual-polymerized luting composite resin cements would benefit from enhanced irradiance transmitted through a ceramic restoration. A quantification of the amount of transmitted light through translucent zirconia is lacking.The purpose of this study was to evaluate the amount of light (360 to 540 nm) passing through translucent and conventional zirconia and a glass ceramic with respect to material thickness and different polymerizing modes.Six...
