Abstract
Rationale: Polishing of resin composites ensures optimal esthetics and longevity. Effective polishing techniques for conventional multi-shade resin composites are well documented. However, less is known regarding acceptable polishing for newer single-shade universal resin composites.
Objective: This study compared the surface roughness of five universal resin composites (Omnichroma, Neo Spectra, Charisma Diamond One, One Shade) and one conventional multi-shade resin composite (Palfique Asteria) following the use of three polishing systems (one-step, Enhance PoGo; two-step, EVE Diacomp Plus Twist; three-step, Sof-Lex) and Mylar strip (without polishing).
Methods: A total of 240 specimens were prepared (n=40 for each resin composite). The specimens were grouped into four subgroups (n=10) based on the polishing system applied. The surface roughness of all specimens was evaluated using a non-contact three-dimensional optical profilometer. One randomly selected specimen from each subgroup underwent scanning electron microscope examination.
Results: Surface roughness was significantly affected by the resin composite type and the polishing system used (p<0.05). The study groups were ranked by surface roughness, from lowest to highest, across all tested materials as follows: Mylar strip < Enhance PoGo < Sof-Lex < EVE Diacomp. The surface roughness values of the universal resin composites were comparable to the multi-shade nanofilled resin composite in all polishing systems.
期刊介绍:
Operative Dentistry is a refereed, international journal published bi-monthly and distributed to subscribers in over 50 countries. In 2012, we printed 84 articles (672 pages). Papers were submitted by authors from 45 countries, in the categories of Clinical Research, Laboratory Research, Clinical Techniques/Case Presentations and Invited Papers, as well as Editorials and Abstracts.
One of the strong points of our journal is that our current publication time for accepted manuscripts is 4 to 6 months from the date of submission. Clinical Techniques/Case Presentations have a very quick turnaround time, which allows for very rapid publication of clinical based concepts. We also provide color for those papers that would benefit from its use.
The journal does not accept any advertising but you will find postings for faculty positions. Additionally, the journal also does not rent, sell or otherwise allow its subscriber list to be used by any other entity
