Abstract

This study evaluated the aesthetic and mechanical properties of single shade resin composite comparing with three different resin composites. Colour matching was performed on ninety class III preparations on acrylic central incisors with shades B1, B2, and A3. One single shade (Omnichroma) and three different multishade resin composite (Filtek Universal Restorative; Palfique LX5; Beautifil II) were used for restoration on each side.  Digital photograph was taken under standardized set-up. Colour measurements were taken in the centre of restoration, and tooth surface 1.0 mm from the tooth/restoration margin. The colour difference was analysed using CIELAB equation. For colour stability and surface roughness evaluation, resin composites (10 × 2 mm) were prepared and polished with Sof-LexTM discs. Baseline colour and surface roughness were assessed using digital spectrophotometer and 3D Optical Surface Texture Analyzer, respectively. After 28 days of immersion in distilled water or coffee, post soaking colour changes and surface roughness were recorded. Flexural strength test was performed on 40 specimens (25 × 2 × 2 mm) according to ISO 4049. Three point bending test was performed using the universal testing machine. Omnichroma showed higher colour difference compared to composites in B1 shade (p<0.05). After 28 days of coffee immersion, Omnichroma had significantly different colour stability compared to multi-shade system (p<0.05). There was no difference between the surface roughness of Omnichroma with multi-shade system. Omichroma exhibited the highest flexural strength statically. Further strengthening is needed to enhance Omnichroma’s properties for clinical use while preserving its ability to match surrounding tooth structure.

Keywords: Colour matching; colour stability; flexural strength; resin composite; surface roughness

 

Abstrak

Penyelidikan ini menilai sifat estetik dan mekanikal resin komposit satu warna berbanding dengan tiga resin komposit yang berbeza. Pemadanan warna dilakukan pada sembilan puluh persediaan Kelas III pada gigi insisiv tiruan dengan warna B1, B2 dan A3. Satu resin komposit satu warna (Omnichroma) dan tiga resin komposit pelbagai warna (Filtek Universal Restorative, Palfique LX5 dan Beautifil II) digunakan untuk pemulihan pada setiap sisi. Gambar digital diambil di bawah tetapan piawai. Ukuran warna diambil di pusat pemulihan dan pada permukaan gigi 1.0 mm daripada margin gigi/pemulihan. Perbezaan warna dianalisis menggunakan persamaan CIELAB. Untuk penilaian kestabilan warna dan kekasaran permukaan, resin komposit (10 × 2 mm) disediakan dan digilap dengan cakera Sof-LexTM. Warna asas dan kekasaran permukaan dinilai masing-masing menggunakan spektrofotometer digital dan Penganalisis Tekstur Permukaan Optik 3D. Selepas 28 hari perendaman dalam air suling atau kopi, perubahan warna selepas perendaman dan kekasaran permukaan direkodkan. Ujian kekuatan lenturan dilakukan pada 40 spesimen (25 × 2 × 2 mm) mengikut ISO 4049. Ujian lenturan tiga titik dilakukan menggunakan mesin ujian universal. Omnichroma menunjukkan perbezaan warna yang lebih tinggi berbanding komposit pada warna B1 (p<0.05). Selepas 28 hari perendaman dalam kopi, Omnichroma mempunyai kestabilan warna yang berbeza dengan ketara berbanding sistem pelbagai warna (p<0.05). Tiada perbezaan antara kekasaran permukaan Omnichroma dan sistem pelbagai warna. Omnichroma menunjukkan kekuatan lenturan tertinggi secara statistik. Pengukuhan lanjut diperlukan untuk meningkatkan sifat Omnichroma bagi kegunaan klinikal sambil mengekalkan keupayaannya untuk menyesuaikan struktur gigi sekeliling.

Kata kunci: Kekasaran permukaan; kekuatan lenturan; kestabilan warna; komposit resin; padanan warna
