In vitro color evaluation of esthetic coatings for metallic dental implants and implant prosthetic appliances

Abstract ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to characterize the optical properties of newly developed esthetic coatings for metallic implants and components for an improved peri?implant soft tissue appearance. Material and methodsPig maxillae (n = 6) were used for the in vitro color evaluation of coated and uncoated samples. Three different coating systems (Ti–ZrO2, Ti–Al–ZrO2, and Ti–Ag–ZrO2) were deposited on titanium substrates, which exhibited different roughness (polished, machined, and sand?blasted) and interference colors (pink, yellow, and white). Spectrophotometric measurements were made of samples below three different mucosa thicknesses (1 mm, 2 mm, and 3 mm) and titanium served as negative control. Color difference ?E was calculated using ?L, ?a, and ?b …
