Influence of acidulated phosphate fluoride solution on the color stability of indirect composites

Effect of fluoride solutions on color and surface roughness of dental composites

“…Indirect dental composites have improved properties, such as higher color stability 13 , despite being subject to the action of fluoride solutions 14 , as proven by the results of the present study. This class of composites uses a polymerization system complemented by light and heat, which, according to Kildal and Ruyter 15 (1994), increases its rate of monomer conversion.…”

Effects of acidulated phosphate fluoride gel application on surface roughness, gloss and colour of different type resin composites

“…1 However, APF gel application can cause adverse effects on resin composite such as dissolution of inorganic fillers, 2 surface erosion, 3 increased surface roughness, 4 decreased wear resistance, 4 increased adherence of cariogenic bacteria, 5 influence on colour stability, 6 and reduced surface hardness. 7 The underlying mechanism of APF deterioration of resin composites has been postulated through three major interaction pathways 2 : interaction of fluoride with reinforcing fillers, filler-matrix coupling agents, or the organic matrix.…”

The influence of topical fluoride application on colour stability of aesthetic fluoride-releasing restorative materials

“…The light amber colour of DURAPHAT varnish and its stickiness might explain the more intense effect on the less glossy and rougher surface of the conventional glass ionomer KetacFil Plus 21 . Regarding the effect of C-Care on giomer and resin modified glass ionomer cement, it has been reported that APF gel applications can cause adverse effects on resin composites, such as the increased surface roughness 22 , and can influence their colour stability 23 . Nevertheless the differences of ΔΕ* values for both topical fluoride applications in the present study were negligible and did not appear to be clinically significant.…”
