Abstract

Discoloration of composite resins is considered to be a major factor in esthetic restoration failures. The aim of this study was to evaluate color stability of IDM composite (both light and self cure samples namely IL and IS), and to compare it with a self-cure composite (Degufill named DS) and a light cure ormocer composite (Definite, called DL in the Report). 60 disk shaped samples of each composite were prepared, according to ISO-7491. The samples were divided into 3 groups and aged as follows: A- (Control) 7 days in dark 37°c chamber B- Foil covered and kept in 100% humidity, and 37°c in xenotest chamber for 24 hours, then transferred to a dark 37°c chamber for 6 more days.C- Kept in 37°c, 100% humidity under the emission of xiiion lamp of xenotest chamber for 24 hours,and then transferred to 37°c dark chamber for 6 more days The lightness and chromaticity values of samples were measured both before and after aging using a spectrophotometer (Data Flash). The total color changes as well as changes in lightness and chromaticity values were measured in the CIE L * a * b * scale, and analyzed. Color change was recorded to be significant in all samples after aging. The maximum change belonged to IL, which was significantly
different from DL and DS. It seems, in order to have a durable esthetic restoration using IDM, more scientific and professional consideration is needed in the production process.

Abstract
Background and Aims: Considering the preventive and therapeutic effects of resin infiltration (RI) and the unknown effect of bleaching on the enamel treated with this method, this in-vitro study aimed to assess the effect of bleaching on color stability of enamel lesions treated with RI.
Materials and Methods: In this in-vitro, experimental study, enamel-dentin samples measuring 5×5×3 mm were prepared on the buccal and lingual surfaces of 30 extracted humans third molars with no caries, cracks or enamel defects by a microtome. The specimens were divided into three groups of 10 specimens: 1) sound enamel (control), 2) demineralized enamel, 3) demineralized enamel plus RI. White spot lesions were artificially created by immersing the samples in hydroxyethyl cellulose demineralizing gel with a pH of 4.5 for 4 days. Next, Icon RI was applied on the samples in group 3. The baseline color of the specimens was measured using a spectrophotometer. Then, 35% hydrogen peroxide was applied on the specimens in three cycles and time interval of 10 min. After the end of the last cycle, the samples were completely washed for 1 min and then, underwent colorimetry again. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA.
Results: The results of this study showed that the highest level of color change (ΔE) in the demineralized group was 6.3±2.003, while the least amount of ΔE in the enamel lesion group treated with resin infiltration was 3.54±0.98 and in the control group ΔE was 4.13±1.14. Therefore, there was a significant difference between demineralized and treated by infiltratant groups (P=0.005). However, there was no significant difference between control group and treated with resin infiltration group (P=0.54).
Conclusion: Bleaching induced a less change in the color of the enamel lesions treated by resin infiltration compared with that of the demineralized teeth.
