Publication Open Access Effect of Modeling Resins on Microhardness of Resin Composites(2021-07) KORKUT, BORA; Bayraktar, Ezgi T.; Atali, Pinar Y.; Korkut, Bora; Kesimli, Ezgi G.; Tarcin, Bilge; Turkmen, CaferAbstract Objectives This study was aimed to determine the effects of modeling resins on the surface microhardness of composites. Materials and Methods Six resin-based composites (Charisma Smart, Estellite Asteria, CeramX-One SphereTEC, Admira Fusion, Filtek Ultimate, and Clearfil Majesty Es-2) and three wetting agents (Modeling Liquid, Composite Primer, and Modeling Resin) were investigated. In all, 240 specimens were prepared, and wetting agents were applied prior to light curing in the experimental groups. After 24 hours, specimens were polished and Vickers microhardness (VHN) values were measured. Statistical Analysis Shapiro–Wilk and two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used for analyses (p < 0.05). Results Both modeling resin and composites were determined to be effective factors (p < 0.001). The control group showed the highest VHN (70.37 ± 7.94), followed by Modeling Liquid (64.68 ± 12.07), Composite Primer (59.84 ± 6.33), and Modeling Resin (58 ± 3.52b; p < 0.001). Filtek Ultimate showed the highest VHN (76.62 ± 9.78c), whereas Charisma Smart (58.87 ± 7.95), and Clearfil Majesty (67.27 ± 2.58) showed the lowest (p < 0.001). Clearfil Majesty–Modeling Liquid (46.62 ± 5.33) and Charisma Smart–Composite Primer (50.81 ± 0.39) combinations showed the lowest VHN, whereas Filtek Ultimate–control (87.15 ± 2.12) and Filtek Ultimate–Modeling Liquid (84.24 ± 3.11) showed the highest (p < 0.001). Conclusion All tested modeling resins decreased VHN value, and the amount of reduction varied among composites and wetting agents. It might be safer not to use wetting agents unless they are necessary.Publication Open Access Retrospective Evaluation of Different Shade Selection Methods in the Context of the Vital Bleaching Technique(MARMARA UNIV, INST HEALTH SCIENCES, 2021-04-04) TÜRKMEN, CAFER; Bayraktar, Ezgi Tuter; Cimilli, Zuhre Hale; Kartal, Nevin; Turkmen, CaferObjective: This retrospective study was performed to evaluate the correspondence between digital image analysis and spectrophotometry tooth shade results. Methods: The study population consisted of 10 patients. Office bleaching was performed using an in-office whitening. Tooth shade was analysed by spectrophotometry and image analysis of digital photographs at baseline, and at 1-week and 3-month follow-up visits. The correspondence between the two methods was evaluated based on the total color change (Delta E), calculated using lightness, chroma, and hue (LCH) values for spectrophotometry and lightness, red-green, blue-yellow (LAB) values for digital image analysis. The Mann-Whitney U, Wilcoxon signed rank and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used for the statistical analyses (p<0.05). The correspondence between digital image analysis and spectrophotometry results was determined using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Results: At the 3-month follow-up, there were no significant differences in tooth shade results between the spectrophotometry and digital image analysis methods (p=0.855), which showed strong agreement (ICC=0.983). Conclusion: Digital image analysis may be a useful alternative to spectrophotometry for tooth shade selection.
