Radiographic Evaluation of Current Restorative CAD/CAM Ceramics Indicated for Fabrication of Indirect Restoration

Radiopacity of most of the tested CAD/CAM materials was equal to or higher than that of dentin with a similar thickness. However, VITA mark II, VITA Enamic, Flexcera Smile Ultra Plus, VarseoSmile TriniQ had lower radiopacity than dentin and their radiographic evaluation would be dependent on the radiopacity of the cement for detection of recurrent caries. Understanding the radiopacity of each CAD/CAM material helps clinicians select the appropriate material and helps them detect the type of restorative material.
