Summary: This systematic review evaluated the impact of different treatments and conditions on the optical properties of monolithic zirconia. The review found that these treatments and conditions, such as aging, grinding/occlusal adjustment, glazing/external staining, toothbrushing, bleaching, and artificial gastric acid exposure, had a negative effect on the color stability, translucency, and surface gloss of monolithic zirconia.

Summary: Mouth rinses have an effect on the color change of monolithic glass-ceramic materials with different surface treatments. Glazed materials are more resistant to discoloration compared to polished materials, and chlorhexidine rinse led to more discoloration.

Summary: The study compared the color stability of high-translucency monolithic zirconia ceramics with lithium disilicate under different resin cements after thermocyclic aging. The results showed that at a 1 mm thickness, there was no significant difference in color stability between the two materials.

Summary: This study evaluated and compared the fracture resistance, translucency, and color reproducibility of novel monolithic CAD/CAM ceramics, as well as the effect of aging on fracture load and color stability. The results showed that lithium silicate ceramics were more translucent, while zirconia demonstrated higher fracture resistance and color stability.

Summary: In this in vitro study, the color stability of an A-2186 room-temperature-vulcanizing (RTV) silicone elastomer was assessed by incorporating silver nanoparticles during accelerated artificial aging. The results showed that the addition of silver nanoparticles at different concentrations effectively protected the silicone elastomer and reduced color changes.

Summary: Monolithic silica aerogel shows great potential as a material for innovative glazing systems due to its excellent properties. This study investigates the long-term performance of silica aerogel by subjecting samples to artificial aging using temperature and solar radiation effects. The results show a deterioration in the aerogel properties after a natural service life of 12 years, equivalent to 4 months in the experiment. The presence of aerogel also leads to slight reductions in optical and acoustic performance and color changes.

Summary: The study found that the thickness, number of staining applications, and type of stain can affect the optical properties of monolithic zirconia, with the first staining causing more noticeable color changes and increased surface roughness, while the second staining decreased surface roughness.

Summary: This in vitro study evaluates the effects of different sintering protocols and dipping times on the optical properties of monolithic zirconia. The results indicate that C and S sintering with a 3-minute and 5-minute coloring process yield better optical results. This is important for understanding the optical performance of monolithic zirconia restorations.

Summary: This study evaluated the changes in translucency, contrast ratio, and color of CAD/CAM zirconia after accelerated artificial aging at different sintering temperatures. The results showed that an increase in sintering temperature led to an increase in translucency, while contrast ratio and color change were not significant.

Summary: In this study, the translucency and opalescence of different monolithic ceramics were compared, with zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate and presintered zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate specimens showing the highest values. Zirconia groups had significantly lower translucency compared to other groups. The differences in translucency and opalescence among the materials were related to their optical characteristics.

Summary: This study evaluated the color, translucency, and gloss changes of gingiva-colored restorative materials after staining/aging. The results showed significant differences in color and translucency among different materials under different staining conditions, with wine causing the greatest changes. The gloss retention of all materials, except Beautifil gingiva II, was greater than 90% after staining and aging.

Summary: This study evaluated the effect of different experimental staining procedures on the color stability and translucency of a nano-hybrid resin-based composite. The results showed that using a toothpaste with a high abrasive level resulted in greater color change compared to using a toothpaste with a low abrasive level. Repolishing procedures were able to partially reduce the color change induced by artificial staining.

Summary: This study systematically reviewed the impact of low temperature degradation on the crystalline structures and optical properties of different types of dental monolithic zirconia materials. It was found that tetragonal zirconia showed an increase in monoclinic phase content during aging, while cubic zirconia demonstrated resistance to LTD. The optical properties of all zirconia materials investigated appeared to be compromised with increasing aging time.

Summary: This in vitro study evaluated the optical properties of CAD-CAM resin-matrix ceramics with different thicknesses and background colors. The results showed that Ceramart resin-matrix ceramic and Vitablox Mark II feldspathic ceramic had high and low masking abilities, respectively. All study materials exhibited acceptable masking abilities regardless of thickness.

Summary: The effect of light-curing distances of resin composites on color change and translucency after accelerated aging was evaluated. The results showed that increasing the light-curing distance led to a decrease in color stability and translucency. Clinicians should position the light-curing device as close to the material as possible.
