Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of polishing with different solutions on the surface roughness and hardness of two different polymethylmethacrylate temporary restoration materials. In the study, two different temporary crown materials prepared in the CAD / CAM system and prepared by the traditional method were used to test a total of 224 pieces of 10 mm diameter and 2 mm thickness. After the surface roughness and micro hardness values were measured, samples were randomly divided into seven groups among themselves; After waiting 24 h, 1 and 3 weeks, values were measured again. Data were evaluated using 3-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey HSD test. The temporary restorative materials surface hardness and roughnesses are important to be able to stay in oral cavity without any changes. And it is also important to determine which of the materials (prepared by temporary conventional materiels or by the CAD/CAM) are less effected by the liquids in oral cavity.
Highlights
A temporary restoration must be made immediately after tooth preparation to protect the cut tooth from thermal bacterial and chemical effects
Polymethylmethacrylate, polymethylmethacrylate bisacryl based, and micro-filled resins are used in the clinic as temporary restoration materials
Different studies have shown that polymethylmethacrylates have lower wear resistance and better esthetic properties than polymethylmethacrylate bis-acryl and micro-filled resins [5, 6]
Summary
A temporary restoration must be made immediately after tooth preparation to protect the cut tooth from thermal bacterial and chemical effects. These restorations must have the strength to withstand masticatory forces, have good marginal fit and esthetics, and be able to protect pulp and periodontium. Temporary restorative materials have low fracture resistance. Materials with different chemical structures and improved physical properties are available for use in restorations. Polymethylmethacrylate, polymethylmethacrylate bisacryl based, and micro-filled resins are used in the clinic as temporary restoration materials. Different studies have shown that polymethylmethacrylates have lower wear resistance and better esthetic properties than polymethylmethacrylate bis-acryl and micro-filled resins [5, 6]
