Quantification of color variation of restorative materials used on pediatric dentistry after pigmentation

Abstract

ObjectiveTo quantify the color variation of two glass ionomer cements and a composite resin used in pediatric dentistry, after being immersed in different pigments agents. (Ketac™ Molar and Photac™ Fil) Methods Using two glass ionomer cements

Effects of beverages frequently consumed by children on color stability of fiber-reinforced resin crowns

“…In the study of Lopes et al 36 in which they examined the coloring e ect of children's beverages on restorative materials, they reported that ice tea caused the most coloring among the coloring agents, similar to the results of the current study. e ΔE values in the crowns tested in our study were ordered as ice tea > cherry juice > cola > orange juice > chocolate milk > distilled water.…”

“…Tunç et al 23 , in their study examining the sensitivity of di erent restorative materials to coloration, explained that chocolate milk caused less coloration than other beverages, and this was due to the di erence in pH values of the beverages evaluated. Similarly, in the study of Lopes et al 36 , it was proven that chocolate milk has the lowest coloring e ect of all the materials examined. In the results of the present study, supporting the results of other studies, it was observed that chocolate milk caused the least coloration among all the evaluated beverages and this coloration was at a clinically acceptable level.…”

“…In pediatric dentistry, the long-term color stability of restorations is important as it can cause behavioral management problems in children as a result of multiple dental visits, in addition to aesthetic reasons and the additional costs paid for the replacement of restorations35. For this reason, many studies have been conducted to investigate the color stability of restorative materials used in children 23,[36][37][38] .…”

“…In studies examining the color stability of restorative materials, frequently consumed beverages such as tea, co ee, cola, and red wine, which are generally associated with adult discoloration, have been used [39][40][41] . Although there are a limited number of studies in the literature evaluating the discol-oration of beverages frequently consumed by children on restorations 23,[36][37][38] , no study has been found examining the coloring e ect of these beverages on ber-reinforced resin crowns. erefore, in the present study, it was aimed to ll the gap in the literature about the color stability of ber-reinforced resin crowns used for restorative purposes in beverages frequently consumed by young age group individuals.…”
