Purpose: To evaluate the in vitro efficacy of surface coating sealer (SCS) in reducing the amount of water absorption and stain formation in resin composites. Methods: To evaluate the amount of water sorption, 40 stainless steel round molds (n=10 per composite) were filled with Filtek Supreme XTE; Venus Diamond; Clearfil Majesty ES-2; Gradia Direct Anterior. Groups were further divided into two subgroups (n=5) according to the presence/absence of SCS (Easy Glaze). Their masses were measured at baseline and reweighed at 1, 4, 12, and 20 weeks. For staining evaluation, 48 resin composite discs, 2 mm-thick, were obtained with the same composites and SCS was applied on a single surface of each sample. After baseline color assessment, samples were immersed in vials containing 5 mL of six different staining solutions. Color evaluation was performed again after 1, 4, 12, and 20 weeks. Three-way ANOVA was performed to evaluate differences in weight gain and color changes (P< 0.05). Results: A significant protective action of SCS (P< 0.001), but not of the composites (P= 0.366) was found. Differences in weight and color change were not influenced by the resin composite, but only by the presence of the coating on the surface of the samples. SCS are well-established materials for polishing and protecting composite restorations from water sorption and color changes. Different staining solutions can still produce different effects on resin composite.

Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the in vitro efficacy of surface coating sealer (SCS) in reducing the amount of water absorption and stain formation in resin composites. Methods: To evaluate the amount of water sorption, 40 stainless steel round molds (n=10 per composite) were filled with Filtek Supreme XTE; Venus Diamond; Clearfil Majesty ES-2; Gradia Direct Anterior. Groups were further divided into two subgroups (n=5) according to the presence/absence of SCS (Easy Glaze). Their masses were measured at baseline and reweighed at 1, 4, 12, and 20 weeks. For staining evaluation, 48 resin composite discs, 2 mm-thick, were obtained with the same composites and SCS was applied on a single surface of each sample. After baseline color assessment, samples were immersed in vials containing 5 mL of six different staining solutions. Color evaluation was performed again after 1, 4, 12, and 20 weeks. Three-way ANOVA was performed to evaluate differences in weight gain and color changes (P< 0.05). Results: A significant protective action of SCS (P< 0.001), but not of the composites (P= 0.366) was found. Differences in weight and color change were not influenced by the resin composite, but only by the presence of the coating on the surface of the samples. SCS are well-established materials for polishing and protecting composite restorations from water sorption and color changes. Different staining solutions can still produce different effects on resin composite.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
