Surface Gloss of Resin Composite Restorative Materials Finished/Polished With Different Systems
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 6
Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effect of three different polishing systems on surface gloss of microfill, nanofill, and nanohybrid resin composites. Materials and Methods: A total of 120 resin composite discs were prepared in split Teflon mold with dimension of 10 mm diameter and two mm thick. Specimens were equally divided into three groups according to restorative materials (microfill composite A, nanohybrid composite B and nanofill C); 40 specimens for each material (n=40). Ten specimens from each restorative material were remained without finishing/polishing and used as a control group. The gloss of surface was measured with gloss meter. Results: There was statistically significant difference among the tested composite materials and polishing method (P <0.001). The nanofilled resin composite and the liquid polisher presented the highest gloss values After tooth brushing, mean gloss values was decreased for three tested resin composite. Conclusion: Nanofilled composite and liquid polisher showed the highest gloss between the tested composites and polishing systems.
