Abstract
Objectives
To evaluate the effect of aging on the color and whiteness of single- and group- shade resin composites in restorations with different cavity configurations and dental shades.
Methods
Class I and V cavities (length of 8.0 mm, depth of 2.0 mm and width of 2.5 mm) were prepared in artificial acrylic mandibular right molars with different shades (A1, A2, A3, A3.5, and A4). Three single- (OMNI- Omnichroma, UNI- Vittra APS Unique, CHA- Charisma Diamond ONE) and two group-shade (FIL- Filtek Universal Restorative, HAR- Harmonize) resin composites were evaluated. The ISO 4892–2 was used to perform the accelerated artificial aging (AAA). Spectral reflectance measurements were obtained and CIELAB color coordinates were calculated (CIE D65 standard illuminant and 2º CIE1931 Standard Observer) at baseline and after AAA. CIEDE2000 color differences (ΔE00), and whiteness variations (ΔWID) were calculated. Generalized linear models (GLM) were used for the comparison between combined groups (shade, aging, and cavity configuration) for each outcome individually and all possible associations between groups (α = 0.001). The corresponding perceptibility (PT00 = 0.8 and WPT = 0.7) and acceptability (AT00 =1.8 and WAT = 2.6) thresholds were used for the analysis of the results.
Results
In general, the color stability of single- and group-shade composites after aging was better for Class V restorations, presenting lower ΔE00 and ΔWID values. For Class I restorations, group shade composites (FIL and HAR) exhibited lower ΔE00 and ΔWID values; FIL generally showed the lowest ΔE00 and ΔWID values for both Class I and Class V restorations. These values were below the AT00 and WAT values for Class V restorations, but above the AT00 and WAT values for Class I restorations.
Clinical significance
The influence of cavity configuration on color and whiteness stability indicates that restoration geometry should be considered when predicting long-term shade matching and esthetic durability of single- and group-shade composites.”
期刊介绍:
Dental Materials publishes original research, review articles, and short communications.
Academy of Dental Materials members click here to register for free access to Dental Materials online.
The principal aim of Dental Materials is to promote rapid communication of scientific information between academia, industry, and the dental practitioner. Original Manuscripts on clinical and laboratory research of basic and applied character which focus on the properties or performance of dental materials or the reaction of host tissues to materials are given priority publication. Other acceptable topics include application technology in clinical dentistry and dental laboratory technology.
Comprehensive reviews and editorial commentaries on pertinent subjects will be considered.
