Background: Provisional fixed restoration is an essential component in prosthodontics treatment. These materials may experience color change for surface roughness. To reduce it, a polishing technique is required with a time setting specified. Aims and Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different polishing time on the color stability of provisional materials. Materials and Methods: One hundred and forty-four resin blocks were prepared, divided into Group A, PMMA acrylic resin and Group B, bis-acryl resin. They were polished with goat hairbrush and diamond paste. Twenty-four hours stored in distilled water and 12 th day on the staining solution coffee and wine. They were measured with a spectrophotometer, analyzed, and processed with the CieLab system, to calculate color difference ∆E. Results: On the 3 rd day of the immersion period, the lowest mean value was showed with 1 min polishing on Group A, showing to be statistically significant, P = 0.011. In Group B, the lowest mean value was showed with 1 min 30 s. At the 7 th and 12 th days immersion period, the lowest mean value was showed with 30 s polishing among the groups. Conclusions: Polishing 30 s showed the lowest ∆E values on PMMA and bis-acryl resin. Mean color differences were above the clinical acceptability threshold ∆E > 3.3. Regarding the staining agent, the highest ΔE values were observed in coffee.
El concreto es un material 100% reciclable, siempre que no esté contaminado, y puede utilizarse en muchas obras y estructuras diferentes cumpliendo con las especificaciones para los materiales necesarias. El concreto reciclado tiene su principal fuente de recursos en los residuos de construcción y demolición que proceden en su mayor parte de la demolición de edificios, pavimentos, excedentes en plantas concreteras, y como resultado urbanizaciones. Esto representa una pérdida de las materias primas que componen el concreto, principalmente del Agregado Natural (AN), ya que este es un recurso natural no renovable. Además, este desperdicio también implica la necesidad de un sitio para su disposición final. El concepto de construcción sostenible engloba la reducción, reutilización, y reciclaje de los residuos que genera la gran actividad de construcción. En este trabajo, se evalúa el desempeño de concretos fabricados con agregado reciclado(AR), a partir de cilindros de concreto con una resistencia especificada de 300 kg/cm2. Las mezclas fueron elaboradas con 100% de reemplazo del Agregado Grueso Natural (AGN), por Agregado Grueso Reciclado (AGR). Los resultados muestran una variación considerable en la prueba de absorción de agua ya que las mezclas fabricadas con el AR requieren mayor inclusión de agua, esto evidencia que las mezclas elaboradas con AGR propician un concreto mas poroso y por ende más susceptible desde el punto de vista de la durabilidad; aun cuando los niveles de resistencia son similares a los del concreto tradicional.
