To examine the colour change and surface roughness of giomer,
microhybrid composite and nanohybrid composite after brushing with whitening
toothpastes. Disc-shaped samples of giomer, microhybrid composite and nanohybrid
composite were divided into three subgroups(n=10), with the initial colour measured
with a spectrophotometer and the surface roughness measured with a mechanical
profilometer. The samples, which were immersed in coffee solution were brushed once
a day with whitening toothpastes (Opalescence Cool Mint (OCM), Colgate Optic White
Extra Power (COW) and Signal White Now Gold (SWN)) for 12 days. Colour change and
surface roughness were measured again after the colouring-brushing cycle. All of the
analyses were performed using appropriate statistical hypothesis tests. The highest
increase in surface roughness was seen in the microhybrid composite group applied
with SWN (p<0.05). The group with the least increase was the giomer group applied
with SWN (p<0.05). While the least colour change was observed in the COW applied
nanohybrid composite group (ΔE00=1,814), the most colour change occurred in the
COW applied giomer group (ΔE00=5.943). After the use of whitening toothpastes, the
roughness of giomer, microhybrid composite and nanohybrid composite surfaces was
increased and a colour change above the clinically accepted value was observed.
