The effects of dental adhesives total etch; self-etch and selective etch application procedures on microleakage in class II composite restorations.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the amount of microleakage resulting from the application of self-etch, selective etch, etch-and-rinse of adhesive systems in class II cavities. Materials and methods: Four adhesive systems with etch-and-rinse, selective etch and self etch methods were used on the extracted teeth. All groups were restored with G-aenial A'CHORD (Nanohybrid) (GC, Tokyo, Japan) A2 composite. After 1000 thermal cycles were applied to the teeth after restoration, the samples were kept in 0.5% basic fuchsin for 24 hours. Microleakage values formed after dye penetration with basic fuchsin were determined quantitatively by scoring method on sections taken from each sample in the mesiodistal direction. One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Tukey test were used for statistical analysis of the data (p<0.05). Results: While there was no statistically significant difference between the etch-and-rinse and selective etch applications of adhesive systems (G2-Bond Universal, Clearfil Tri-S Bond Universal Prime&Bond Universal and Tokuyama Bond Force II) (p>0.05), there was a statistically significant difference in self-etch application (p<0.05). As a result of Prime&Bond Universal's self-etch application, it showed statistically more microleakage than the other three adhesive systems (p<0.05). Conclusion: It has been observed that additional etching of enamel and/or dentin with phosphoric acid reduces the amount of microleakage.

Does hot coffee or cold coffee cause more discoloration on resin based composite materials?

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the effect of beverages at different temperatures on the coloring of composites. Materials and methods: A total of 48 cylindrical samples, 24 of which were prepared from 2 composite materials (G'aenial; Estelite Σ Quick), were included in the study. The sample dimensions were standardized at 2 x 10 mm2. After the polishing, the initial color measurements were performed using a spectrophotometer. The samples were divided into 3 subgroups as distilled water, hot coffee (60 °C) and cold coffee (0 °C) (n=8). During the 7th and 30th days, the samples were immersed in the solutions for 15 min every day. Color measurements were repeated on the 7th and 30th days. Data were analyzed using a two-way analysis of variance, followed by the Tukey post-hoc test (p<0.05). Results: The highest color change was detected on the 7th and 30th days in the G-aenial anterior microhybrid composite immersed in hot coffee (p<0.001). The application of hot and cold coffee applications did not make a statistically significant difference in the coloration of the Estelite Σ Quick composite samples at the end of the 7th (p=0.346) and 30th (p=910) days. Conclusion: Hot drinks had a more coloring effect on restorations. This coloration was quite evident in the microhybrid composite.

Determination of the whitening effect of toothpastes on human teeth / Determinación del efecto blanqueador de los dentífricos en dientes humanos

Abstract The desire of individuals to have whiter teeth increases the interest in tooth whitening products. Our aim was to in vitro study the whitening effect of hydrogen peroxide, blue covarine and active charcoal containing whitening toothpastes on human teeth. A total of 40 extracted human incisor teeth were used in the study. To measure the whitening effect of toothpastes, the teeth were divided into four subgroups and placed in the phantom tooth jaw model. Then, daily brushing was done with an electric toothbrush. The colors of the teeth were measured initially using the spectrophotometer (single point and bleached shade mode) and at the end of 7th, 14th and 28th days. Whitening effectiveness of toothpastes were studied according to CIEDE2000 formula (ΔE00) and shade guide units (SGU). One- way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey test were used in the statistical analysis of the data. (p0.05). Blue covarine containing toothpaste had statistically the lowest whitening effect (p<0.05). All toothpastes showed a whitening effect on the teeth after 7 days of use. Activated charcoal containing toothpaste showed more whitening effect after 28 days of use than hydrogen peroxide, blue covarine and traditional toothpaste.

Resumen El deseo de los individuos de tener unos dientes más blancos aumenta el interés por los productos de blanqueamiento dental. Nuestro objetivo fue estudiar el efecto blanqueador de las pastas dentales blanqueadoras que contienen peróxido de hidrógeno, covarina azul y carbón activo en dientes humanos in vitro. En el estudio se utilizaron un total de 40 dientes incisivos humanos extraídos. Para medir el efecto blanqueador de los dentífricos, los dientes se dividieron en cuatro subgrupos y se colocaron en el modelo de diente fantasma en mandíbula. A continuación, se realizó un cepillado diario con un cepillo eléctrico. El color de los dientes se midió inicialmente con un espectrofotómetro (modo de punto único y tono blanqueado) y al final de los días 7, 14 y 28. Se estudió la eficacia blanqueadora de los dentífricos según la fórmula CIEDE2000 (ΔE00) y las unidades de guía de color (SGU). En el análisis estadístico de los datos se utilizó el análisis de varianza de una vía (ANOVA) y la prueba de Tukey. (p0,05). El dentífrico que contiene covarina azul tuvo estadísticamente el menor efecto blanqueador (p<0,05). Todos los dentífricos mostraron un efecto blanqueador en los dientes después de 7 días de uso. Los dentífricos con carbón activado mostraron un mayor efecto blanqueador tras 28 días de uso que el peróxido de hidrógeno, la covarina azul y el dentífrico tradicional.

Superficial effects of different finishing and polishing systems on the surface roughness and color change of resin-based CAD/CAM Blocks / Efectos superficiales de diferentes sistemas de acabado y pulido en la rugosidad superficial y el cambio de color de los bloques de Resina CAD/CAM

ABSTRACT: CAD/CAM blocks are widely used in dental restorations around the world. This study aimed to investigate the effects of different polishing and finishing systems on surface roughness and color change of resin-based CAD/CAM blocks. In this study, material samples of 2×7×12mm were prepared. In three different experimental groups, surface polishing was carried out with one-step, two-step and multi-step polishing systems. The samples in one subgroup of each experimental group were polished with the diamond paste. Once the initial roughness and color values of the samples were measured using a profilometer and a spectrophotometer, the samples were immersed in coffee. Surface roughness and color change (ΔE00) results were statistically analyzed using two-way variance analysis (ANOVA). Finishing and polishing systems created significantly different levels of surface roughness on the hybrid ceramic block (Vita Enamic) but not on the composites block (Brilliant Crios, Grandio Blocs). While the two-step and multi-step finishing and polishing systems produced the lowest color change on hybrid ceramic blocks, one-step and two-step systems achieved this on composite blocks (p<0.05). In all test groups, the supplementary polishing performed after regular polishing procedures helped us reduce the surface roughness and color change on CAD/CAM blocks. The findings obtained in this study suggest that one and two-step polishing systems are more suitable for resin-based composite CAD/CAM blocks; for hybrid ceramic CAD/CAM blocks, on the other hand, two and multi-step finishing and polishing systems seem to be more efficient concerning lower surface roughness and resistance to color changes.

RESUMEN: Los bloques CAD/CAM son ampliamente utilizados en las restauraciones dentales, alrededor del mundo. El objetivo de este estudio es investigar los efectos de diferentes sistemas de pulido y acabado sobre la rugosidad de la superficie y el cambio de color de los bloques CAD/CAM de resina. En este estudio se prepararon muestras de material de 2×7×12mm. El pulido de la superficie se llevó a cabo en tres grupos experimentales con sistemas de pulido de un paso, de dos pasos y de varios pasos. Las muestras de un subgrupo de cada grupo experimental se pulieron con la pasta de diamante. Una vez medidos los valores iniciales de rugosidad y color de las muestras mediante un perfilómetro y un espectrofotómetro, las muestras se sumergieron en café. Los resultados de la rugosidad superficial y el cambio de color (ΔE00) se analizaron estadísticamente mediante un análisis de varianza de dos vías (ANOVA). Los sistemas de acabado y pulido crearon niveles de rugosidad superficial significativamente diferentes en el bloque cerámica híbrida (Vita Enamic) pero no en el bloque de composites (Brilliant Crios, Grandio Blocs). Mientras que los sistemas de acabado y pulido de dos y varios pasos produjeron el menor cambio de color en los bloques de cerámica híbrida, los sistemas de un paso y dos pasos lo consiguieron en los bloques de composite (p<0,05). En todos los grupos de prueba, el pulido suplementario realizado después de los procedimientos de pulido regulares nos ayudó a reducir la rugosidad de la superficie y el cambio de color en los bloques CAD/CAM. Los hallazgos obtenidos en este estudio sugieren que los sistemas de pulido de uno y dos pasos son más adecuados para los bloques CAD/CAM de resina; en cambio, para los bloques CAD/CAM de cerámica híbrida, los sistemas de acabado y pulido de dos y varios pasos parecen ser más eficientes en lo que respecta a la menor rugosidad de la superficie y la resistencia a los cambios de color.
