Effect of CAD-CAM block material and thickness on the translucency parameter and polymerization of light-cured resin cement

Key Points

• The central aim is to evaluate how CAD-CAM block materials and their thickness influence translucency and the polymerization of resin cement.
• Assessed various CAD-CAM block materials.
• Measured translucency parameters and polymerization levels of light-cured resin cement.
• Analyzed the relationship between block thickness and translucency.
• Conducted comparative studies on different material types.
• Found significant differences in translucency parameters related to block material and thickness.
• Demonstrated that thicker CAD-CAM blocks can affect the degree of polymerization of resin cement.
• Indicated optimal thickness ranges for improved translucency in CAD-CAM applications.
