Summary
Comparing ceramic veneer colors, this study found no significant differences between try-in pastes and resin cements after cementation. The shade of dental restorations remained consistent regardless of the try-in paste used.
Area of Science:
- Dental Materials Science
- Restorative Dentistry
- Esthetic Dentistry
Background:
- Ceramic veneers are popular for dental esthetics.
- Try-in pastes are used to preview shade before cementation.
- The effect of try-in pastes on final cement shade is not fully understood.
Purpose of the Study:
- To compare the final color of ceramic veneer restorations.
- To evaluate the influence of different try-in paste shades on the final restoration color.
- To determine if try-in pastes affect the final color compared to resin cement alone.
Main Methods:
- Ceramic veneer restorations were fabricated.
- Multiple shades of try-in pastes were applied.
- Restorations were cemented using resin cement.
- Color measurements were taken before and after cementation.
Main Results:
- No statistically significant color differences were observed between try-in pastes and resin cement.
- The final color of ceramic veneers remained consistent post-cementation.
- Try-in pastes did not alter the perceived shade of the restorations.
Conclusions:
- Try-in pastes do not influence the final color of ceramic veneer restorations.
- Clinicians can confidently use various try-in paste shades to preview color.
- Final shade selection is primarily determined by the resin cement and veneer material.

01:18Porosity in Cement Paste
538
The porosity of concrete is a measure of the void spaces within its structure. These spaces impact its strength and durability significantly. When water and cement interact, a chemical reaction called hydration creates a semi-solid paste. This paste includes combined water, making up approximately 23% of the cement's dry mass, and gel water, which fills minuscule voids known as gel pores, accounting for about 28% of the cement gel volume.

01:25Accelerated Curing of Concrete
548
Accelerating concrete curing is achieved by applying heat and additional moisture. This process accelerates the hydration of the cement, resulting in an earlier strength gain in the concrete. Steam curing is a method wherein the concrete products are either transported through a chamber on a conveyor belt or encased in plastic, allowing steam at atmospheric pressure to circulate freely around them. This process begins with a phase of moist curing that typically lasts between 3 to 5 hours, after...

532
Portland blast-furnace cement is made by blending Portland cement clinker with granulated blast-furnace slag, which accounts for 25 to 65 percent of the cement's weight. Despite its similarities to ordinary Portland (Type I) cement in terms of fineness and setting times, its early strength is lower, though it achieves comparable strength later on. It's particularly suited for mass concrete structures and marine environments due to its lower heat of hydration and superior sulfate...

01:29Mortar
701
Mortar, a mixture of Portland cement, hydrated lime, sand, and water, is a crucial binding material in construction. Its primary function is to join masonry units together, filling gaps and ensuring a uniform distribution of weight across the structure. This helps in preventing potential weaknesses. Mortar also serves as a protective barrier against environmental elements such as water and wind, thereby safeguarding the interior of the structure. It also compensates for surface irregularities...

Portland cement comes in several types, each with distinct properties and applications based on their chemical composition and hydration characteristics:
Type I (Ordinary Portland Cement) is widely used for general construction where special properties are not required. It has moderate sulfate resistance and heat of hydration.
Type II (Modified Cement) offers moderate resistance to sulfate attack and a lower rate of heat development compared to Type I. It is suitable for structures in...

01:15Fineness of Cement
629
The fineness of cement directly influences the rate of hydration, as the hydration begins at the surface of the cement particles. In addition to hydration, the fineness of cement is vital for various properties of concrete including workability, gypsum requirement, and long-term behavior. The fineness of cement is represented in terms of the specific surface of cement which is typically measured in square meters per kilogram, with several methods available for this determination.
