In addition to proper marginal fit, the following should be taken into consideration:
- We recommend that you do not use iron-containing hemostatic agents with translucent all-ceramic crowns. A grayish tint may develop underneath the translucent restoration a few weeks after cementation.
- Hydrogen peroxide is a strong oxidizing agent that decomposes chemical initiating systems. Hydrogen peroxide is not easily removed from the tooth surface by a water spray. Typically, Amine and Peroxide are the two basic chemicals that make up a base and catalyst reaction in dental cements. The use of Hydrogen Peroxide should generally be avoided with all resin cements.
- Contamination from saliva and crevicular fluids can also be a cause of discoloration. The use of a rubber dam, when possible, should be considered.
