Color stability of conventional and bulk fill composite resins
ABSTRACT Objective: This study compared the color stability of different dental composite resins after prolonged exposure to a coffee solution. Methods: Sixty-four cylindrical discs (10 mm diameter x 2 mm thickness) were prepared using 8 different dental composite resins (n=8, per group). The specimens were first immersed in artificial saliva for 24 h followed by immersion in a coffee solution for 14 days. The assessment of chromatic variation (ΔE) was performed with the aid of a Vita Easyshade Advanced spectrophotometer (VITA Zahnfabrik, Bad Sackingen, Germany). The color of each specimen was calculated based on the L*, a* and b* coordinates of the CIELab system. Results: Grandio SO had the lowest average chromatic variation (ΔE=7.77) after immersion in coffee solution. Durafill VS, Grandio and Z350 XT (ΔE=8.58; ΔE=9.52; ΔE=10.39, respectively) showed similar chromatic variation, with no statistical difference in relation to Grandio SO. However, the other dental composite resins evaluated showed statistically higher values of ΔE compared to Grandio SO, and Enamel HRi (ΔE=20.56) demonstrated the highest chromatic variation. Conclusion: The Bulk Fill and hybrid composite resins from the same manufacturer (Micerium, Avegno, Italy) showed greater chromatic variation than the other composite resins tested. Grandio SO (Voco, Cuxaven, Germany) had the lowest ΔE variation.
