Abstract :

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effect of various scaling procedures on surface roughness and color change on a CAD/CAM resin nano-ceramic restorative material.

Materials and Methods: Seventy disks (5mm diameter, 0.5mm thickness) of RNC material were cemented in standardized cavities, prepared by a specially designed reference guide in bovine teeth. The surfaces of the specimens were exposed to different scaling methods simulating standard clinical conditions, using a custommade scaling apparatus of a double pan balance. The specimens were assigned to 3 main groups: no scaling (control), ultrasonic scaling (U) and manual (M) scaling. Each group was then divided into 3 subgroups according to scaling tip material; stainless steel tip (S), plastic tip (P) and titanium tip (T). The surface texture was analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively with a profilometer and an atomic force microscopy. A spectrophotometer was used for color measurement. One-way ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to compare between tip materials followed by Tukey’s and Mann-Whitney tests for pair-wise comparisons. Dunnett’s test was performed to compare control group with different scaling methods.

Results: Plastic curette resulted in the least surface alteration and color change. The significantly highest to lowest roughness and color change means are as follows: Control>UT>MT>US>MS>UP>MP. Deep scratches on ultrasonically scaled surfaces and numerous smaller scratches on hand-scaled surfaces were detected. The hand titanium, ultrasonic stainless steel and titanium groups were clinically unacceptable for color change.

Conclusion: The use of plastic hand instrument is recommended during routine maintenance procedure for RNC materials.
