Effects of different surface treatments on the color stability of various dental porcelains

Abstract

Background/purpose: There is a lack of information in the few studies reporting on the stainability of dental porcelain materials. However no studies have been found that investigated effects of polishing methods and staining agents on the color stability of dental porcelains. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of different polishing techniques on the color stability of various dental porcelains. Materials and methods: Fifty-five specimens were prepared for each of feldspathic (Vita VMK 95, Ceramco III), low-fusing porcelain (Matchmaker), and machinable feldspathic porcelain blocks (Vitablocs Mark II). The prepared specimens were divided into 11 groups (n Z 5) representing different polishing techniques including a control (no surface treatment), glaze, and nine other groups which were finished and polished with a polishing disc (Sof-Lex), two porcelain polishing kits (NTI, Dialite II), a diamond polishing paste (Sparkle), a zirconium silicatebased cleaning and polishing prophy paste (Zircate), an aluminum oxide polishing paste (Prisma Gloss), and combinations of these. Specimens were stored for 48 hours at 37 C in a coffee solution. The color of all specimens was measured with a colorimeter before and after exposure, and color changes (DE) were calculated. Data were analyzed with a two-way analysis of variance, and mean values were compared by the Tukey's honest significant difference test (a Z 0.05). Results: When comparing the four different porcelain materials, Ceramco III demonstrated the highest DE value. No significant difference was observed among the porcelain material groups of Mark II, Matchmaker MC, and VMK 95 (P Z 0.074). When comparing the polishing techniques, the lowest DE values were observed in Group Gl for all porcelain materials tested. No significant difference was observed among Groups Sl, Di, and Pk, (P Z 0.883), and these Groups demonstrated significantly higher DE values than Group Gl (P < 0.05).

“…The exposure to the acid drink was continuous, in order to simulate long-term exposure to carbonated beverages in the oral cavity. In fact, immersion in Coca-Cola for only one day is analogous to its consumption for a month, considering the time it remains in the mouth while drinking [40].…”

Color Stability of CAD/CAM Fabricated Inlays after Accelerated Artificial Aging

“…CAD/CAM ceramic materials, which require no additional sintering or firing, have been developed to eliminate the aforementioned problems and make esthetic restorations as natural as possible. The color‐matching ability and high quality of CAD/CAM materials have been well documented, but the literature about the longevity of their color stability is insufficient. One study reported that CAD/CAM‐processed composites (Lava Ultimate, Paradigm MZ100) immersed in staining solutions showed lower color stability than conventionally laboratory‐processed resin composites (SR Adoro, Premise Indirect).…”
