To evaluate the color stability of dual cure and light cure resin cements immersed in coffee solution at different time periods (baseline, 3 days and 1 week). Materials and methods: The color stability of three light curing (Variolink Esthetic (VLC); Rely X Veneer (RLC) and Mojo Veneer (MLC)) and three dual curing (Variolink Esthetic (VDC); Rely X Ultimate (RDC) and Breeze (MDC)) resin cements were tested. A total of sixty disks (10 mm diameter and 0.5 mm thickness) were prepared using a silicone mold (n=10). The specimens were subjected to baseline color measurement using Commission Internationale de l'Eclairege L*a*b* (CIELAB) color space system with the help of a spectrophotometer (LabScan XE, HunterLab, VA, USA). Following baseline color measurements, the specimens were immersed in a staining coffee solution. The color measurement was repeated after 3 days and 1 week of immersion in coffee solution. All the data collected were statistically analyzed using repeated measures of Analysis of variance (ANOVA, P<0.05). Result: After one week of storage in coffee solution, the mean color measurement scores in light cure group were found to be higher for RLC (1.22 ± 1.51) followed by VLC (0.85 ± 0.65) and NLC (0.68 ± 0.36) whereas in dual cure group, the mean color measurement scores were found to be higher for NDC (7.45 ± 4.50) followed by RDC (1.52 ± 1.24) and VDC (0.47 ± 0.34). Repeated measures ANOVA showed a statistically significant difference for light cure group (P=.004) at different time intervals but no significant difference with respect to dual cure group (P=.26). Conclusion: There was a significant difference observed between the light-and dual-cured cements over a different period of time. The color changes of both light-and dual-cure resin cements were within clinically acceptable limits except for the dual-cured Breeze cement.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
