Effect of 2 Bleaching Agents with a Content of High Concentrated Hydrogen Peroxide on Stained 2 CADCAM Blocks and a Nanohybrid Composite Resin: An AFM Evaluation

الملخص EN

The aim of this study was to evaluate color stability of 3 restorative materials, discoloration ability of different solutions, efficacy of 2 office bleaching agents, and surface roughness and topography.

Sixty specimens for Clearfil Majesty Esthetic (CME), Lava Ultimate (LU), and Vita Enamic (VE) were prepared.

They were immersed into 3 staining solutions for 2 weeks and then they were bleached.

According to the measured L⁎, a⁎, and b⁎ parameters described by CIELAB system, color changes (ΔE00), translucency parameters (TP), whiteness index values (W⁎), and changes in closeness to pure white (ΔW⁎) were calculated.

Then 3 specimens from each group were scanned with an atomic force microscope for surface analysis.

After staining, CME groups and control groups of LU and VE showed clinically acceptable color changes (ΔE00<1,8).

After bleaching, while a reverse effect on color was observed, VE showed the furthest color values to pure white.

There was no statistically significant difference between whiteness index values of LU and CME.

LU was the most translucent material during the study and TP values of materials showed minimal differences.

Most of the VE groups and a control group of LU showed surface roughness (Ra) values higher than critical value for biofilm accumulation (0,2 μm).
