Özet

Aim: This study aimed to determine the surface polishing effect on discoloration properties of three-dimensional printed dental definitive resin.

Materials and Methods: Formlabs permanent crown resins were used to fabricate 40 rounded-shaped specimens (R=10, 2 mm heigth) (n = 40). Baseline color (L, a, b) measurements were conducted. Subsequently, the samples were categorized into four groups based on the polishing technique; Samples with untreated surfaces, glazed (Optiglaze, GC) surfaces, sand-glazed surfaces and pumice+alcohol+polishing paste surfaces (n = 10). Following polishing, the specimens were immersed in coffee for 12 days in an upright position. Color coordinate measurements were performed again. Color difference (ΔE00) was calculated. The Shapiro-Wilk test was conducted to assess the normality of the data distribution within the groups. For parameters following a normal distribution, a one-way ANOVA test was performed. The Post Hoc Dunnett T3 test was employed to identify differences between groups. A significance level of p < 0.05 was considered for all statistical analyses

Results: There was a significant difference in the mean ΔE values among the four groups (p <0.001). The Control group exhibited a significantly higher ΔE than all other groups (p < 0.001). The Pumice group demonstrated a significantly lower ΔE than all groups (Control-Pum: p < 0.001, Opt-Pum: p = 0.011, Sand-Pum: p = 0.003). No significant difference was observed between the Optiglaze and Sand-glaze groups.

Conclusion: The surface glazing technique significantly influences the stainability of 3D-printed dental permanent resins. Among the tested groups, the pumice-polished surfaces exhibited the least discoloration. This finding highlights the importance of selecting appropriate surface treatment to enhance the aesthetic longevity of 3D-printed dental materials.
