Abstract
AIM: To determine the effect of various types of mouthrinse on the color stability of the composite resin materials. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 4 types of resin material were chosen and immersed in 4 different types of mouthrinses for 2 mins daily and then restored in artificial saliva for rest of the time for 3 months. The baseline color values and post immersion color values were evaluated using colorimetrics. RESULTS: All the resin material underwent discoloration. The lowest discoloration was seen during the usage of amflor mouthrinse. The lowest discoloration among the resin material was seen there in nanofill resin material. CONCLUSIONS: From this study we can conclude that mouth rinses with low pH are more detrimental. It’s the filler material matrix that plays a key role on the color stability of the material. KEYWORDS: aesthetic dentistry, discoloration , mouthrinse.
Highlights
Patient’s desire for esthetics has led to the increased use of tooth colored resins in dentistry
This demand of tooth-colored composite resin materials have evolved over the past decades and are widely used in dentistry
Composites is considered superior, in terms of esthetics, and functionally, economically, better durability, gloss retention and its of ease handling. [3]. These innovations have enabled clinicians to combine functionality and esthetics which has led to the introduction of “bulk fill” composites
Summary
Patient’s desire for esthetics has led to the increased use of tooth colored resins in dentistry. This demand of tooth-colored composite resin materials have evolved over the past decades and are widely used in dentistry. [1] Innovations in restorative dentistry for esthetics include micro fill, microhybird and nanofilled composite resin materials. These innovations have enabled clinicians to combine functionality and esthetics which has led to the introduction of “bulk fill” composites. Intrinsic factors include changes in filler, matrix or silane coating. Extrinsic factors such as adsorption or absorption of stains which may cause discoloration of esthetic materials.[8,9,10,11]
