An Evaluation of Exogenous Pigmentation on Clean Teeth Elastomeric Modulation

Abstract

ObjectiveThe study comprised of assessment of the in vitro changes in the shade of clear elastomeric modules from different manufacturers influenced by exogeneous pigmentation contained in the everyday dietary substances .Material and methodsThe specimen comprised of clear Elastomeric modules (Group A-Libral, Group B – TP orthodontics) which were immersed in the accompanying dietary substances: ketchup, coffee, tea, pepsi & methylene blue and its hue,saturation and intensity were figured after 72 hrs by methods for Adobe Photoshop CS3 was utilized to mirror the module recolouring seriousness.ResultsSignificant difference was found among among the two sorts of modules were analyzed in this study. Ketchup and methylene blue demonstrated higher staining potential when appeared differently in relation to all staining media. Besides, there was no statistically significant difference in staining contrast of tea and PepsiConclusion Ketchup and methylene blue are strong staining media ought to be avoided by patients opting for aesthetic appliances for their orthodontic treatment. Elastomeric modules manufactured by TP orthodontics indicated to have a greater staining potential as compared to the other company, which could be identified to be related with their manufacturing processing
