Abstract

Objective

The aim of this study was to evaluate the roughness of the surface of composite resins applied with different finishing techniques and their color stability after coloring with coffee.

Methods

A total of 100 disc-shaped samples prepared from nanohybrid composite (Polofil NHT, Voco [N]) and microhybrid composite (Herculite Classic, Kerr [M]) resin were divided into 5 subgroups (n=10). One of the groups served as control group (no surface treatment).  Experimental groups were divided according to the surface finishing protocol: bur+polishing (BP), arkansas+polishing (AP), bur+polishing with paste (BPP), and discs+polishing (DP). The initial color of the samples was detected with a spectrophotometer (VITA Easyshade V, VITA Zahnfabrik, Germany), and the surface roughness (Ra) of the samples was quantified by a profilometer (Mitutoyo SJ-210, Japan). Then the samples were exposed to the coloration process with freshly prepared coffee solution every day. After 2 days, color measurements were made again. Color change (∆E) was calculated using the CIEDE2000 system. Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal Wallis test and One-way analysis of variance were used for statistical analysis. The correlation between Ra and ∆E was statistically evaluated.

Results

DP treatment on the M surface and DP and BPP treatments on the N surface produced significantly less Ra than the other treatments and the control group (p<0.05). Although the BPP treatment in the M group had the lowest E value compared to other treatments, there was no statistically significant difference between this value and that of the BP and DP treatment groups (p>0.05). BPP treatment demonstrated a significantly lower E value in the N group compared to the other groups (p< 0.05). A statistically significant correlation was found between Ra and ∆E values (p<0.05).

Conclusions

Composite finishing techniques affected the surface roughness and color stability of composites. The use of discs and polishing paste in the finishing of both nanohybrid and microhybrid composites can reduce surface roughness and discoloration due to coffee consumption.
