Pressable ceramic restorations have been introduced and investigated, and found comparable to CAD/CAM ceramic in terms of mechanical properties; however, the effect of toothbrushing on the pressable ceramic has not been thoroughly investigated. The objective of the current study was to assess the effect of artificial toothbrushing simulation on the surface roughness, microhardness, and color stability of different ceramic materials. Three lithium disilicate-based ceramics (IPS Emax CAD [EC], IPS Emax Press [EP]; (Ivoclar Vivadent AG), and LiSi Press [LP] (GC Corp, Tokyo, Japan)) were examined. For each ceramic material, eight bar-shaped specimens were prepared and subjected to 10,000 brushing cycles. Surface roughness, microhardness, and color stability (∆E) were measured before and after brushing. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used for surface profile analysis. The results were analyzed using one-way ANOVA, Tukey's post hoc test, and paired sample -test α = 0.05. The findings revealed a non-significant decrease in the surface roughness of EC, EP, and LP groups ( > 0.05), and both LP and EP have the lowest surface roughness values (0.64 ± 0.13, 0.64 ± 0.08 µm) after brushing, respectively. Toothbrushing showed a decrease in the microhardness of the three groups: EC and LP, < 0.001; EP, = 0.012). EP showed the lowest hardness value after brushing (862.45 ± 273.83). No significant changes (∆E) were observed in all groups ( > 0.05); however, the EC group was found to be considerably affected by color changes, in comparison to the EC and LP groups. Toothbrushing had no effect on surface roughness and color stability of all tested materials, but it decreased the microhardness. Material type, surface treatments, and glazing of ceramic materials contributed to the surface changes in the ceramic materials, necessitating further investigations in terms of the toothbrushing effect with different glazing as variables.
可压制陶瓷修复体已被引入并进行了研究,发现其在机械性能方面与CAD/CAM陶瓷相当;然而,刷牙对可压制陶瓷的影响尚未得到充分研究。本研究的目的是评估人工模拟刷牙对不同陶瓷材料表面粗糙度、显微硬度和颜色稳定性的影响。研究了三种基于二硅酸锂的陶瓷(IPS Emax CAD [EC]、IPS Emax Press [EP];(义获嘉伟瓦登特公司)和LiSi Press [LP](日本东京GC公司))。对于每种陶瓷材料,制备了八个条形试样,并进行了10000次刷牙循环。在刷牙前后测量表面粗糙度、显微硬度和颜色稳定性(∆E)。使用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)进行表面轮廓分析。结果采用单因素方差分析、Tukey事后检验和配对样本检验(α = 0.05)进行分析。研究结果显示,EC、EP和LP组的表面粗糙度无显著降低(P > 0.05),并且LP和EP在刷牙后的表面粗糙度值最低(分别为0.64 ± 0.13、0.64 ± 0.08 µm)。刷牙显示三组的显微硬度均有所降低:EC和LP组,P < 0.001;EP组,P = 0.012)。EP在刷牙后的硬度值最低(862.45 ± 273.83)。所有组均未观察到显著变化(∆E)(P > 0.05);然而,与EC和LP组相比,发现EC组受颜色变化的影响较大。刷牙对所有测试材料的表面粗糙度和颜色稳定性没有影响,但降低了显微硬度。陶瓷材料的类型、表面处理和上釉导致了陶瓷材料的表面变化,因此有必要以不同上釉作为变量,进一步研究刷牙效果。
