N2 - The natural outcome of dental composite restorations highly depends on the translucency of the enamel layer and fluorescence. This study aimed to evaluate the Translucency Parameter (TP) and Fluorescence Intensity (FI) of five different resin composite systems. Seven discs of each composite brand were prepared in a circular increasing thickness. For TP, a spectrophotometer measured the samples’ colors. The color difference within the white/black backgrounds obtained the translucency parameter. For FI, samples were exposed to UV light, and ten photographs per group were taken. Each specimen was analyzed digitally. A mixed model analysis to a 95% confidence level analyzed groups differences. Higher values of TP were observed for ED and EL, followed by FZ. The lowest values were observed for EO and FO. FI values descending order was EL>FO>EO>ED>FZ. The composition of fillers and organic matrix influenced the behavior of fluorescence and translucency of resin composites.
