Influência de diferentes substâncias líquidas sobre a estabilidade de cor de resinas compostas e a efetividade do polimento na recuperação da cor original

Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of different beverages (distilled water, coffee, tea, red wine and whisky) on color stability of four different composites and the effectiveness of the polish to recover the initial color. The resins used were Filtek Z250 (microhybrid), Filtek Z350 (nanoparticles), IPS Empress Direct (nanohybrid) and Tetric N-Ceram (nanohybrid). A total of 200 specimens (8 mm x 2 mm), 50 for each type of resin were prepared and polished with Sof-Lex disc and electric motor. A digital spectrophotometer device was used to verify the initial color, after this evaluation samples were separated in accordance with the composite resin in groups (n = 10) and remained immersed in the respective solutions for 14 days. After this period the specimens were washed and dried for other evaluation of color. Subsequently, the composites were polished and washed to new measurement in the spectrophotometer. The system parameter staining was used CIEL * a * b *. The color changes were observed from ΔE1 after two weeks and following the repolishing ΔE2, values ΔE≥3.3 are considered clinically unacceptable. Color differences were statistically compared using ANOVA two-way and Tukey test (p <0.05). With the results was observed that red wine had the highest variation of ΔE followed by coffee, tea, whisky and distilled water. The microhybrid Filtek Z250 showed better color stability in all beverages. The repolishing was not sufficient to composite resins return to its original color and neither resin was color stability clinically acceptable in any of the drinks incorporate in this study.
