Abstract
Background: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of finishing/polishing procedures on color stability of three restorative materials: Nano-hybrid resin composite (NRC), silver glass ionomer cement (SGI), and resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGI) exposed to different staining of energy drinks: Barbican, Bison, and Red bull.
Highlights
The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of finishing/polishing procedures on color stability of three restorative materials: Nano-hybrid resin composite (NRC), silver glass ionomer cement (SGI), and resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGI) exposed to different staining of energy drinks: Barbican, Bison, and Red bull
The color difference ΔE* between final and initial values after exposure to different staining of energy drinks was unacceptable for all restorative materials tested with the exception of the resin composite
The null hypothesis was rejected, as there was a difference in color stability of the finishing/polishing procedures of different restorative materials exposed to different staining of energy drinks
Summary
The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of finishing/polishing procedures on color stability of three restorative materials: Nano-hybrid resin composite (NRC), silver glass ionomer cement (SGI), and resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGI) exposed to different staining of energy drinks: Barbican, Bison, and Red bull. Dental esthetic is desired by both adolescents and parents, and the advent of tooth-colored restoratives material has been indispensable for this purpose. Even dentists prefer to use tooth-colored restorative materials, which have different physical properties, and shades compared to non-aesthetic restorative materials such as amalgam [4]. These restorative materials to be clinically successful are required to have long-term continuity, a quality which is strongly influenced by the intrinsic characteristics of the materials and by the environment to which they are exposed [5]. Other factors such as low pH due to acidic foods and drinks may influence the material's mechanical and physical characteristics [7]
