Aim: It was aimed to evaluate the color stability and surface roughness properties of 4 different restorative materials used in pediatric dentistry clinics as a result of 4 different polishing procedures. Background and Design: A total of 128 samples, 32 from each restorative material, were prepared by placing each material in 6 mm diameter, 2 mm high polyethylene molds to be polished with 4 different polishing procedures (n=8). Then, color stability and surface roughness measurements of the samples were made. Hysitron TI 950 TriboIndenter device was used for surface roughness test measurements. A spectrophotometer device was used to determine the color stability. Then the samples were kept in the coke solution for 1 week and then the final color measurements were made. Results:The lowest roughness values were surveyed in G-aenial restorative material polished with Super-Snap material, and the highest roughness values were surveyed in Equia material polished with Identoflex material. When all materials were evaluated, the least color change values were determined in G-aenial material polished with Super-Snap, and the most color change values were detected in Equia material polished with Identoflex. It was observed that the relationship between surface roughness and color change is statistically significant. Conclusion: The lowest color change and surface roughness values were observed in the G-aenial material polished with Super-Snap. For clinically more successful results, it has been understood that the most appropriate polishing procedure should be chosen based on the restorative material used.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
