OBJECTIVE/AIM: This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the color stability of microhybrid and nanohybrid restorative composites after exposure to immersion media common in Yemen for different periods.
Two composite materials, nanohybrid Tetric N-Ceram and microhybrid Te-Econom Plus, were investigated. Six groups of 30 cylindrical specimens (n = 5/group; diameter, 10 mm; thickness, 2 mm; shade A2) of each restorative material were immersed for 1 week in distilled water, qat solution, Yemeni coffee, traditional Yemeni coffee (qishr), red tea, and Dilsi cola. Color changes were evaluated by colorimetry. The color data and pH were measured before and 1, 3, and 7 days after immersion. The data were statistically analyzed.
Tetric N-Ceram showed lesser discoloration than did Te-Econom Plus. Qat, coffee, and red tea caused highly significant discoloration than did Dilsi cola and distilled water (p < 0.05). The role of low pH in discoloration depended on the colorant.
Nanohybrid Tetric N-Ceram composites are more resistant to discoloration than are microhybrid Te-Econom Plus composites. Qat and coffee have the highest effect on composite discoloration.
These findings will aid in selecting composite materials and patient instruction.
本体外研究旨在评估微混合和纳米混合修复性复合材料在暴露于也门常见的浸泡介质中不同时间段后的颜色稳定性。
研究了两种复合材料,纳米混合的Tetric N-Ceram和微混合的Te-Econom Plus。将每种修复材料的六组30个圆柱形试样(每组n = 5;直径10毫米;厚度2毫米;色号A2)分别在蒸馏水、巧茶溶液、也门咖啡、传统也门咖啡(基什尔)、红茶和迪尔西可乐中浸泡1周。通过比色法评估颜色变化。在浸泡前以及浸泡1天、3天和7天后测量颜色数据和pH值。对数据进行统计学分析。
Tetric N-Ceram的变色程度低于Te-Econom Plus。巧茶、咖啡和红茶导致的变色比迪尔西可乐和蒸馏水更显著(p < 0.05)。低pH值在变色中的作用取决于着色剂。
纳米混合的Tetric N-Ceram复合材料比微混合的Te-Econom Plus复合材料更耐变色。巧茶和咖啡对复合材料变色的影响最大。
这些发现将有助于复合材料的选择和对患者的指导。
