Color adjustment potential of one-shade composite resins in repaired CAD/CAM blocks: effect of restoration depth, staining, and material type
摘要
This study evaluated the effects of CAD/CAM block type, composite resin type, restoration depth, and staining condition on the instrumental and visual color adjustment potential (CAP) of one-shade composite resins used for repair.
MethodsThree CAD/CAM blocks (Cerasmart, Tetric CAD, Brava Block) and four one-shade composite resins (Omnichroma, Vittra APS UNIQUE, Charisma Topaz ONE, ONEshade) were evaluated at two restoration depths (1 and 2 mm). Color adjustment potential (CAP) was assessed using instrumental (CAP-I) and visual (CAP-V) methods under baseline and after staining conditions. Color differences (ΔE00) were calculated using the CIEDE2000 formula. Data were analyzed using two- and three-way ANOVA, repeated-measures ANOVA and Pearson’s correlation coefficient (α = 0.05).
ResultsAll investigated factors significantly influenced CAP (p < 0.001). Cerasmart and Tetric CAD consistently exhibited higher CAP compared with Brava Block (p < 0.05). Restorations with a depth of 1 mm demonstrated significantly greater CAP values than those with a depth of 2 mm (p < 0.05). Staining significantly increased ΔE00 values and reduced both CAP-I and CAP-V (p < 0.001). Instrumental assessments were more consistently affected by staining than visual evaluations. A significant positive correlation was observed between CAP-I and CAP-V (baseline: r = 0.591 & after staining: r = 0.763, p < 0.001), which became stronger following staining.
ConclusionThe color adjustment behavior of repairs performed with one-shade composite resins was influenced by CAD/CAM substrate type, composite resin type, restoration depth, and staining condition. Within the limitations of this in vitro study, staining reduced CAP, while 1 mm restorations generally showed greater CAP than 2 mm restorations.
