Özet
Purpose: To determine the degree of conversion (DC) and spectral diffuse reflectance of four different gingiva-colored composites and to evaluate their color stability after various aging processes. Materials and Methods: The gingiva-colored composites were assigned to four experimental groups (Anaxgum (AG), Crea.lign paste Gum (CB), Gradia Gum (GR), SR Nexco Gum (NC)). A total of 120 disc-shaped specimens (10 × 2 mm) (n = 30/group) were polymerized in a Teflon mold. The nature of chemical bonding was studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Diffuse reflection spectra of the polymerized specimens were gathered using an ultraviolet-visible-near infrared (UV-Vis-NIR) spectrophotometer. Specimens subjected to aging methods were divided into three subgroups (n = 10): ultraviolet aging, hydrothermal aging, and autoclave aging. Color differences (ΔE*ab and ΔE00) were determined by colorimetry before and after aging. The statistical analysis was done using a two-way ANOVA along with paired sample t-test and Bonferroni's post hoc test. Results: Conversion degrees varied between 26.9% and 59.7% and all groups showed 3 or 4 maxima at different positions in the visible region of the spectrum. Both ΔE*ab and ΔE00 values were significantly different from the groups of different brands for all types of aging processes. Similarly, there were significantly different ΔE*ab and ΔE00 values according to the aging procedure for all groups of particular brands, except for ΔE00 of SR Nexco Gum (NC). Conclusions: The aging procedures resulted in significant color differences between similar shades of four commercial gingiva-colored composites. The composite resins showed different degrees of conversion and diffuse reflectance spectra. The aging conditions tested affected the color stability. Patients with gingiva-colored indirect restorations should be informed about time-dependent discoloration.
