Color Stability and Surface Roughness of a Laboratory-Processed Composite Resin as a Function of Mouthrinse

Effect of Different Artificial Staining Procedures on the Color Stability and Translucency of a Nano-Hybrid Resin-Based Composite

BACKGROUND

To evaluate the effect of different experimental staining procedures on color stability and translucency of a nano-hybrid resin-based composite (RBC).

METHODS

Forty-eight cylindrical-shaped specimens (10 × 2 mm) were prepared with a nano-hybrid RBC (Clearfil Majesty ES-2) and randomly divided in four groups according to the experimental staining procedure: G1) static immersion in a staining solution (coffee) (44 ± 1 °C); G2) staining cycling between coffee (44 ± 1°C) and distilled water (37 ± 1°C) with an experimental staining machine based on Arduino, an Open Source hardware development platform; G3) staining cycles as in G2 + brushing with a low abrasive toothpaste (Relative Dentin Abrasion RDA = 30) (Elmex Sensitive Professional); G4) staining cycles as in G3, with brushing performed with a very strong abrasive toothpaste (RDA = 90) (Lacult Active). Color parameters were recorded at the baseline (T0) after staining procedures (T1) and repolishing (T2) using a spectrophotometer. Color change (∆E00) and translucency (TP, CR) were evaluated. Data were statistically analyzed (p < 0.05).

RESULTS

For ∆E00 after staining, Group 1 showed the highest color change and Group 3 the lowest. All groups were significantly different (p < 0.001) except for Group 2 vs. Group 4; after repolishing, Group 1 was significantly higher than Group 3 (p < 0.001), Group 2 (p < 0.001), and Group 4 (p = 0.003); Group 2 was higher than Group 3 (p < 0.001). For TP variable, after staining procedures, Group 2 was significantly higher than all other groups (p < 0.001), and Group 1 was significantly higher than Group 3 (p < 0.001) and Group 4 (p = 0.007). After repolishing, Group 4 was significantly lower than Group 3 (p = 0.008) and Group 2 (p = 0.027). Repolishing procedure significantly reduced color parameters.

CONCLUSIONS

The investigated staining procedure induced significant differences in color stability and translucency. The use of a very strong abrasive toothpaste (RDA = 90) induced higher color change than a low abrasive one (RDA = 30). Repolishing procedures are able to partially reduce color change induced by artificial staining procedures.

Comparison and Effect of Common Beverages on Color Stability of Different Esthetic Restorative Materials: An In Vitro Study

AIM

The aim of this in vitro study is to assess the color stability of different esthetic veneer restorative materials (feldspathic ceramic, hybrid ceramic, zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate glass ceramic, and composite resin) after being exposed to commonly consumed beverages that have staining potential.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Sixty specimens were prepared into rectangular blocks with fixed dimensions of 10 × 12 × 2.5 mm. Machinable feldspathic ceramic (FC), zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate glass ceramic (LS), and a hybrid ceramic (HC) were milled using CAD/CAM (n = 15), and specimens of microparticle composite resin (MPC) were manually prepared by with the same dimensions (n = 15). All specimens were randomly divided into three subgroups (= 5) according to immersing solutions used (coffee, black tea, and red wine). All specimens were immersed for a period of 72 hours. A colorimetric evaluation was done for each specimen before and after immersion using a spectrophotometer and the difference in color was calculated according to the CIE-Lab system. To analyze the data, two-way ANOVA and one-way ANOVA tests of significance were used to compare between the different study groups, followed by pairwise comparisons using post hoc test (Tukey).

RESULTS

Different restorative materials showed statistical significance regarding color change after staining (p < 0.001); however, no statistical significance in color change (p > 0.05) was found between the different beverages used.

CONCLUSION

All tested ceramic materials had better color stability compared with composite resin. All the staining beverages used in the current study might cause a significant color change in the tested restorative materials.

CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE

The color stability of esthetic restorative materials affects their clinical performance in the oral cavity, where the restorative materials are usually exposed to staining beverages that are frequently consumed by patients. Therefore, it is important to understand the staining effect of the different beverages on esthetic restorative materials.

Spectrophotometric analysis of color stability of esthetic restorative material in chlorhexidine mouthwash: An in vitro study

Background

Commendable aesthetic properties of composites make it a pioneer filling material. However, discoloration of composite resin materials emerges as a major clinical problem in a long term.

Aims and Objectives

Aim of the study is to evaluate the color stability of nano filled and micro hybrid dental composite resin in chlorhexidine mouthwash.

Materials and Methods

20 specimens of dimension 10*2mm were prepared of A2 shade. All the prepared samples were immersed in 20 ml of distilled water in separate containers according to the group. Further incubation at 37°C for 24 h was done. After 24 h, baseline color values of each sample were recorded using a spectrophotometer. After recording the baseline color measurements, 10 specimens (random selection) from each group were placed in 20 ml of 0.2% chlorhexidine mouthwash for 24 h duration. The L*a*b* system of the Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIE L*a*b* Color Scale) was used for the determination of colorimetric values of the specimens.

Results

The color change was displayed by both the samples after immersion in the mouthwash but the change was not statistically significant (0.763). ΔE value for nano filled composites is 3.25 while for the micro-hybrid composites the value is 3.56.

Conclusion

The colorimetric values of nano filled composite resins are more stable than the micro hybrid composite due to exposure to chlorhexidine mouthwash.

Stainability of different ceramic materials against mouth rinses and effect of polishing after staining

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM

Mouth rinses are known to stain tooth surfaces. However, their staining effect on different ceramics after prolonged use and the effect of polishing after staining are still unclear.

PURPOSE

The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the stainability of different ceramic materials against different mouth rinses and the effect of polishing on staining.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

Forty disk-shaped specimens were prepared from each material (total of 160 specimens): lithium disilicate (IPS e.max CAD), zirconia-reinforced lithium disilicate (VITA SUPRINITY PC), leucite-reinforced feldspar (GC Initial LRF), and resin matrix ceramic (CERASMART). Baseline color measurements (T0) were recorded with a clinical spectrophotometer (VITA Easyshade V). The specimens were immersed in chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX) 0.2% mouth rinse (Klorhex), (KLO) chlorhexidine gluconate 0.1% mouth rinse (Eludril) (ELU), a daily mouth rinse (LISTERINE Cool Mint) (LIS), artificial saliva (CON) continuously for 7 days (T1), 14 days (T2), and 28 days (T3). Discoloration values (ΔE) between the immersion time points (T0,T1,T2,T3) were calculated by using the following formula: ΔE= ([ΔL∗]² + [Δa∗]² + [Δb∗]²)^1/2. After the immersion process, specimens were polished and ΔE values remeasured. The Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests were performed (α=.05) and were adjusted by postanalysis Bonferroni testing.

RESULTS

KLO caused the highest ΔE values in all groups. IPS e.max CAD had the lowest ΔE values, and CERASMART showed the highest ΔE values against all of the solutions (P<.05). However, polishing caused a decrease in the ΔE values in all groups.

CONCLUSIONS

Prolonged use of mouth rinses may cause color change in different ceramic materials. Polishing affected the color change and resulted in a decrease in ΔE values. Mouth rinses containing CHX should be recommended with caution for daily use.

Microhardness and surface roughness of Biodentine exposed to mouthwashes

Aim:

This study evaluates Vickers microhardness and surface roughness in Biodentine cement (M1) and glass-ionomer cement Fuji IX (M2), both immersed in mouthwash.

Materials and Methods:

Fifty-four samples were randomly distributed in distilled water (S1), Listerine Cool Mint (S2), and Colgate Plax (S3). Each sample was put in a flask with mouthwash for 2 min, under vibration, twice a day for 21 days. Microhardness and surface roughness were assessed at 48 h (T0), 7 days (T1), 14 days (T2), and 21 days (T3).

Results:

For roughness: time (T), solution (S) and material (M), TxM, and SxM and for microhardness: M, TxS, TxM, and SxM were statistically significant. T3, M1, M1T3, and M1S1 presented the highest surface roughness. M2, M1T0, M1T1, M1T2, M1S1, and M1S2 presented higher microhardness.

Conclusion:

Biodentine showed higher surface roughness for T1, T2, and T3 and higher microhardness for T0, T1, and T2 against Fuji IX. Biodentine presented higher microhardness independently of solution.

Effect of mouthrinses on color stability of monolithic zirconia and feldspathic ceramic: an in vitro study

BACKGROUND

Patients susceptible to periodontal disease and dental caries, including those who undergo fixed prosthodontic treatments use chemical plaque control agents. However, these mouthrinses may result in adverse effects such as discoloration of the restorative materials. The aim of this study was to compare the color stability of monolithic zirconia and feldspathic porcelain after immersion in two different mouthrinses: 0.2% Chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX), or Listerine®. Color change was evaluated by color spectrophotometer and according to the Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIELab) system.

METHODS

We prepared 72 disc-shaped porcelains (n = 36) as follows: Group A consisted of dental direkt cube X2 discs (49% translucency) as the monolithic zirconia and group B consisted of VITA VMK 95 as a feldspathic porcelain. Groups A and B were divided into three subgroups (n = 12 per group). Each subgroup was immersed in one of the following three solutions: distilled water (control), CHX, or Listerine® for 2 min, once per day. We recorded the samples' baseline color values according to the CIELab system by using a color spectrophotometer operated by an experienced operator. Color measurements were subsequently obtained following 7 days of immersion, and after the samples were rinsed with distilled water and allowed to dry. We measured CIE L*, a*, and b*and calculated the color difference (ΔE*ab). All data were analyzed by the Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests.

RESULTS

Color changes occurred in the experimental groups. The ΔE*ab values were significantly greater in VMK 95 porcelain compared to cube X2 (both p < 0.001) following immersion in CHX and Listerine® mouthrinses. However no significant difference was founded when distilled water was used (p = 0.630). For the two materials, the ΔE values were highest in CHX, followed by the Listerine® and distilled water.

CONCLUSION

Both monolithic zirconia and feldspathic porcelain were susceptible to color changes following immersion in CHX and Listerine® mouthrinses.

Discoloration of PMMA, composite, and PEEK

INTRODUCTION

To assess the discoloration and stain removal potential of different cleaning methods relevant to individual/professional prophylaxis and laboratory cleaning on polyetheretherketone (PEEK), poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)-based, and composite (COMP) materials after storage in different media for 7 days.

METHODS

One thousand three hundred twenty specimens of PEEK, PMMA, and COMP (N = 440 of each group) were prepared and stored in four different media for 7 days to cause stain. Samples were divided into three cleaning groups (n = 10): (i) individual prophylaxis, (ii) laboratory protocols, and (iii) professional prophylaxis. Color was determined by a portable spectrophotometer and calculated between different time points (∆E). The data was statistically evaluated using univariate analyses, Kruskal-Wallis H and Mann-Whitney U tests (p < 0.05).

RESULTS

The significantly (p < 0.001) lowest discoloration was found when specimens were stored in distilled water and chlorhexidine (CHX), followed by red wine. Curry solution caused the highest discoloration. PEEK showed the significantly (p < 0.001) lowest color changes, while COMP showed the highest changes. Ultrasonic bath and Air Flow Plus (AFP) were the significantly (p < 0.001) most effective methods to remove staining. The least cleaning effect was found using a soft toothbrush (ST), a medium-hard toothbrush (MT), and SunSparkle (SS) cleaning system.

CONCLUSIONS

PEEK seems more stable against discolorations than other denture resin materials. Regarding the cleaning potential, individual prophylaxis can be conducted with toothbrushes. For professional prophylaxis, air-abrasion devices using gentle powders are effective. Laboratory protocols should include gentle cleaning methods like ultrasonic bath.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Clinicians and dental technicians should inform their patients about the discoloration potential of certain foods/beverages and recommend the most efficient cleaning, but preventive methods.
