The effect of ceramic translucency and thickness on the polymerization of light-cured adhesive resin cement

Abstract

work and improve on a professional level, and an unforgettable experience on a personal level. I give thanks and true appreciation to my sponsor, the Government of Saudi Arabia and its esteemed leadership for the generosity, farsighted vision, and support to Saudi youth in pursuing higher education. I could not have made it this far without this extraordinary opportunity that my country has granted me, and my fellow abroad students. Last but not least, I give thanks to the most amazing two individuals in my life: My parents. Their love was my driving force every step of the way throughout this journey. Everything I am and will become I owe to them. So, thank you. v TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES .

Effects of Translucency and Thickness of Lithium Disilicate-Reinforced Glass-Ceramic Veneers on the Degree of Conversion of a Purely Light-Curing Bonding Resin: An In Vitro Study

“…The literature is also discordant regarding the results obtained with various translucencies. The work of Alghaith [ 26 ] shows results on the degree of opacity that are in agreement with our present study, emphasizing that the thickness factor is the only one with a statistically significant influence on the DC. However, these results are different from those of Calgaro et al [ 27 ], who concluded that the degree of translucency was the most important factor influencing the degree of conversion.…”
