The grant is awarded to graduate students in prosthodontics to support, in part or in total, graduate research projects. Dr. Liu s research will evaluate the capability of human subjects to examine the translucency of porcelain dental materials. The capability of dental students and dentists, and the effect of their dental training and experience on evaluating translucency, will also be studied. The correlation in distinguishing translucency between spectrophotometric measurement using contrast ratio values, and human perception, will also be compared.

The tooth to be treated must be in occlusion and have at least one proximal contact. Class IV resin restoration. The restoration must re-establish proximal contact and appropriate occlusal contact.
