“…However, the shade of most commercial composites is unable to mimic the discolored tooth. The application of light-cured characterizing materials or color modifiers under or between the incremental layers of composite may help to mask the discoloration and produce a natural appearance or desirable restoration shade [6]. Color modifiers consist of light-curable, low-viscosity methacrylate monomers, colorants, and pigments that are available in various colors, such as brown, black, red, or white.…”

Color modifiers can be mixed with resin composites to mimic the shade of severely discolored tooth. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of a color modifier on the physical and mechanical properties of a resin composite. The composite was mixed with a color modifier at 0 wt% (group 1), 1 wt% (group 2), 2.5 wt% (group 3), or 5 wt% (group 4). The degree of monomer conversion (DC) was examined after light curing for 20 or 40 s. Biaxial flexural strength (BFS)/modulus (BFM), surface microhardness (SH), and water sorption (Wsp)/solubility (Wsl) were also tested. The DC of group 1 was significantly higher than that of groups 3 and 4. The increase in curing time from 20 to 40 s increased the DC by ~10%. The BFS, BFM, Wsp, and Wsl of all the groups were comparable. A negative correlation was detected between the concentration of color modifier and the BFS and DC, while a positive correlation was observed with Wsp. In conclusion, the color modifier reduced the DC of composites, but the conversion was improved by extending the curing time. The increase in color modifier concentration also correlated with a reduction in strength and the increase in the water sorption of the composites.

The objective of this case report was to provide a plan for aesthetic rehabilitation of a patient utilizing layered zirconia restorations to produce a homogeneous, pleasing smile. In this case, a female patient, aged 38 years, presented in dental clinic with a spaced dentition and faulty crowns that were causing functional and aesthetic concerns. She was a banker by profession and socially active. The treatment plan involved layered zirconia indirect restorations to enhance her natural teeth appearance. The aim of this case report was to propose an effective strategy for addressing her concerns, with the potential to achieve a desired aesthetic outcome. Additionally, the implementation of this treatment approach had a positive influence on self-esteem and confidence of the patient.
