1 Introduction

Tooth hypersensitivity is a multifactorial condition typicallycharacterized by sharp and brief arising in response toevaporative thermal osmotic tactile or chemical stimulithat cannot be ascribed to any other form of dental defector disease [1] This clinically frequent oral health problemcan cause pain while breathing eating or toothbrushingand its prevalence has been measured as ranging from 3to 73 [2] The most commonly supported explanation

of hypersensitivity is the hydrodynamic theory suggestedby Brannstrom which assumes that painful stimulationincreases fluid flow within the dentinal tubules stimulat-ing baroreceptors and thus causing a neural signal and apainful sensation [3] Therefore ideal treatment for hyper-sensitivity should block the exposed dentinal tubules orreduce fluid flow within the dentinal tubules [4] Gener-ally accepted treatments are the application of a dentinsealer such as composite resin glass ionomer or the useof potassium salts calcium phosphate fluorides strontium

oxalates glutaraldehyde and formaldehyde as tubule plugs[5] Alternative treatments are laser treatment or mucogin-gival plastic surgery [2] Sensitivity-relief toothpaste offersa convenient easy-to-use cost-effective and noninvasivemethod of healing sensitivity Various sensitivity-relief tooth-pastes are available worldwide which include as active agentssodium fluoride (NaF) stannous fluoride (SnF

potassium strontium or sodium calcium phosphosilicate[6 7]

Natural teeth and restorative materials suffer stainingdue to both extrinsic and intrinsic factors Extrinsic factorsmainly include biofilm accumulation smoking or consump-tion of staining beverages [8] The oral environment isexposed daily to a variety of media that have the potentialto cause discoloration resulting in esthetic problems Manystudies have examined the discoloration effects of various fac-tors [9] Moreover despite the importance of toothbrushingfor optimal oral hygiene the discoloration effect of brushingon the dental structures has been noted [10 11] Althoughextrinsic stains can be removed partially or totally from thedental surface by toothbrushing [11 12] the abrasion causedby brushing may result in gradual loss of enamel dentin andrestorative materials [13ndash18] which can increase the surfaceroughness resulting to become more susceptible to staining[19ndash21]

Discoloration can be evaluated visually or with color-measuring devices such as colorimeters which can provideaccurate numerical color data [22] Color difference (ΔE)indicates whether a change in overall shade is able to beperceived by a human eye [23] Sharma has calculated theCIEDE2000 color difference (Δ11986400lowast) by using an Excelspreadsheet implementation [24] This formula was foundconsiderably more sophisticated providing better indicatorsof human perceptibility and acceptability of color differ-ences and computationally involved than the equationsfor CIELab Δ119864lowast119886119887 and the CIE94 color difference [23ndash25] The CIEDE2000 formula includes not only lightnesschroma and hue weighting functions but also an interactiveterm between chroma and hue differences and seems tooffer improvements over the CIELab formula that wouldimply better clinical relevance [20] Perceptibility threshold(PT) and acceptability threshold (AT) are major thresholdsfor evaluating color differences and serve as a control toassess the dental materials success and interpret visual andinstrumental findings as reported by Pravina et al [23] ThePT represents the judgment of the presenceabsence of exactmatch with a color difference at or below it being a nearlyperfect color match However the PT is of limited practicalrelevance as industry rarely strive or need to achieve an exactmatch which would be time consuming and expensive TheAT defines the overall acceptance of color matchmismatchrepresenting the industry tolerance between the PT and theunacceptable mismatch Consequently an acceptable matchin dentistry is a color difference at or below the AT [23] Inthe previous studies the Δ119864

lowast values were compared with5050 PT and 5050 AT values [23 25ndash27]

Although the effect of toothbrushing on surface dete-rioration roughness and color changes have been studied[28 29] the effect of sensitivity-relief toothpastes on staining

of the natural human tooth and esthetic restorative materialshas not been reported The objectives of this study were toassess the effect of commonly used desensitizing toothpastescontaining different ingredients on the optical propertiesof natural tooth and resin composites after immersion incoffee over a six-month period The null hypotheses werethat brushing with desensitizing toothpastes would not causestaining and would not affect the optical properties of naturaltooth and resin composite materials after submitting to coffeestaining

2 Materials and Methods

21 Preparation of Specimens For the resin composite groupa total of 56 disk-shaped specimens were obtained using abrass mold with a socket (10 plusmn 005 mm diameter and 2plusmn 005 mm thickness) The microhybrid composite (GradiaDirect X GC) material was manipulated and polymerizedby covering the top surface with a glass slide and lightcuring (Elipar FreeLight 2 3MESPE) for 20 s perpendicularlyAfter removal from themold the specimens were light-curedfrom the bottom surface using the same parameters Thenspecimens were polished with silicon carbide (SiC) papers(Norton abrasives Guarulhos) of decreasing abrasiveness(600 1200 and 2000 grit) for 10 sec each by one clinicianThe specimens were measured at 3 points with a digitalmicrometer to ensure a standard thickness and if necessarythey were reproduced The specimens were divided intoseven groups randomly and stored at 37∘C and 100 relativehumidity for 24 hours before initial color measurements

For the natural tooth group a total of 56 human centralincisors recently extracted for periodontal reasons wereselected (use of natural teeth required ethics approval votenumber 201557)The teethwere stored in a 01 thymol solu-tion at room temperature for up to 4 weeks after extractionTeeth with any visible caries cracks or hypoplastic defectswere excluded All teeth were gently polished by one clinicianwith a rubber cup and polishing paste (CleanPolish Kerr)under running water for twominutesThe crowns of the teethwere then sectioned 2 mm apically to the cementoenameljunction using double-faced diamond discs under runningwater (KG Sorensen Barueri) The pulp tissues of the crownwere removed with hand instruments cleaned and thendivided into seven experimental procedure groups (n= 8)Before the baseline measurements were taken specimenswere immersed in artificial saliva at 37∘C for 24 hoursThe artificial saliva was prepared according to the followingformula 43 g xylitol 1 g sodium carboxymethylcellulose5 mg calcium chloride 40 mg potassium 01 g potassiumchloride phosphate 1 mg potassium thiocyanate and 100 gdeionized water

22 Color Measurement The Commission Internationale delrsquoEclairage (CIE) color measurements were obtained with acolorimeter (ShadeNCC Shofu) in a viewing booth underD65 standard illumination based on ISO standards (ISO7491)The colorimeter was calibrated according to the manu-facturer instructions before the experimental measurements

and the probe tip was positioned perpendicular in themiddle of each specimen according to a previous article[14] The Llowastalowastblowast color notation of each composite and toothwere measured consecutively three times against a whitebackground (119871lowast=9668 119886lowast=minus018 119887lowast=minus022) and the averageof the readings calculated [30] The Llowast value measures thelightness or brightness of a material alowast is a measure of green-ness (negative) or redness (positive) and blowast is a measure

of blueness (negative) or yellowness (positive) [31] Afterthe simulated tooth brushing and discoloration procedurecolor coordinates of the specimens were again measuredunder the same conditions as before The Δ119864

23 Simulated Toothbrushing After the initial color mea-surements were taken the labial surfaces of the naturalteeth and the composite surfaces were exposed to simulatedtoothbrushing using an electronic toothbrush (Braun Oral-B Advance Power) and soft toothbrushes (Oral-B SensitiveClean ProcterampGamble) Specimens were fixed horizontallyface-side-up and each brush set to result in a final weight of200 g The toothpaste slurry was prepared in a proportionof 11 by weight (150 g of toothpaste and 150 ml of artificialsaliva) Six different desensitizing toothpastes were used forthe present study and no toothpaste was used for the control(C) group (Table 1) Artificial saliva was prepared accordingto the formula described in the preparation of specimenssection above Each specimen was brushed daily using 40strokes This number was based on an estimate that a toothis brushed for 10 seconds in each daily toothbrushing of 2minutes [10] Considering that toothbrushing is performedtwice a day this means that each tooth will be submittedon average to 280 strokes weekly (2 strokes per second1120strokes in a mounth) resulting 6720 strokes for 6 monthsAfter every 1200 strokes brushes and toothpastes werereplaced and freshly mixed toothpaste slurries applied Thiscycle was repeated for each toothpaste

Specimens were then taken from the sample holderswashed for 1 minute with an airwater spray and put in anultrasonic cleaner for 10minutes after which theywerewipeddry with tissue paper The specimens were re-evaluated fortheir color measurements and color changes (Δ119864

4 Discussion

The first null hypothesis of the study was partially rejectedsignificant differences were found between the color changevalues of natural teeth and composite materials after usingdesensitizing toothpastes for six months The second nullhypothesis that desensitizing toothpastes would not affectstainability after coffee exposure was partially rejected fornatural teeth (GroupNdid not show significant color changesrelative to the control group) and rejected for compositematerials For all composite groups coffee staining increasedtheΔE

As reported in a previous study [32] the different toler-ance could be expected when compared with the color differ-ences derived mostly from the differences in chroma Severalstudies [23 25ndash27] determined that 5050 PT ranged from080 to 130 ΔE

00

lowast In this study thecolor differences were beyond those values of 5050 PT forboth natural teeth and composites after simulated brushingand coffee staining Evaluating the 5050 AT Groups SFSA and CPC exhibited higher ΔE

00

lowast values for natural teethHowever for composites none of the groups were below thevalues of 5050 AT

Several in vitro studies have shown that topically appliedfluoride agents may cause volume loss and surface changesin restorative materials such as resin or ceramics [13 33]High fluoride concentrations have been shown to causemore significant surface damageThe most common fluorideagents currently in use are 04 SnF

2and 10 NaF gel

04 SnF2concentration has a pH of 32 making it more

acidic than 10 NaF and this low pH may cause surfacedeterioration [33] One study found that NaF caused lesssurface deterioration and discoloration for porcelain thanSnF2after one year of clinical exposure [33] Other researchs

have also reported that stannous formulations have a possiblestaining side effect [19 20] Significant tooth staining may bethe result of stannous fluoride that generally causes productsto be unstable Hence this ingredient is not favored for use inbleaching agents [6]

Therefore the fact that Group SF experienced the highestdiscoloration in this study might be attributable to possibledamage of the surfaces of both natural teeth and compositesThe discoloration also may occur as a result of using the SnF

formulationIn this study both natural teeth and the composite

specimens that were exposed to simulated brushing withdesensitizing toothpastes and coffee became darker andmoreyellow Only novamin-containing toothpaste caused bothnatural teeth and the composites to become brighter (ieincreased the Llowast value) Novamin is an amorphous calcium

sodium phosphosilicate that reacts in aqueous environmentsto release calcium phosphate and sodium ions over timeThisinorganic compound was developed as a bone-regenerativematerial but has also shown to be combined with tooth dueto its high affinity with collagen when exposed to saliva emit-ting phosphate and calcium through the development of ahydroxyapatite-likemineral layerNovamin allows phosphateand calcium to be released from the surface These crystalsare known to fill in microscopic surface defects makingteeth stronger smoother and less sensitive This agent alsominimizes surface protein precipitation that can limit theability of chromagens to bind to teeth over time [7]

Roselino et al [11] reported that dentifrice abrasivenessdid not interfere with the ability to remove stains fromaged composites The authors also claimed that staining ismaterial-dependent Other studies have researched tooth-brushing has an effect on optical properties and surfaceroughness of esthetic dental materials [9 10] Toothbrushabrasion however could cause wear of composite resins mostcommonly on the buccal surface [14] As smaller and morehomogeneous fillers of a material would reduce the amountof exposed organic matrix material type surface-finishingtechniques composite particle size distribution and homo-geneity might also influence these results decreasing wearafter brushing [23] The oxidation of amine accelerators inthe composite material can cause discoloration changing huefrom a whitish to a yellow appearance Exogenous sourcessuch as coffee tea and nicotine are factors of extrinsicdiscoloration and these factors may be responsible for visibly

detectable or esthetically unacceptable color changes in den-tal materials or natural tooth [21] Perceptible color changeswere also observed in the present study for some groups afterthe experimental procedures (Tables 3 and 4)

The extrinsic staining of natural teeth is mainly explainedby incorporation of chromogens into the pellicle layer Otherstudies have reported that naked enamel will experience littlestaining even when exposed continuously to tea solutionsfor 24 hours or more [21] Major contributors to stainingof dentation are thought to be the beverages including teacoffee and cola Staining can occur via different mechanismsfor example discoloration caused by coffee occurs by boththe adsorption and absorption of colorants so the degreeof staining varies Chan et al [21] investigated the stainingpotential of beverages on different composite resins anddeclared that the greatest amount of discoloration occursduring the first week with results in this time period differingsignificantly from all succeeding weeks It is for this reasonthat in order to determine the potential for long-term stainretention an immersion time of one week was chosen in thepresent study

In the present study artificial saliva was used to stor-ing natural teeth and composite specimens before colormeasurements The deposition of stains and the subsequentaccumulation of artificial saliva act as amatrix andmay resultin discoloration [9]However the current study only capturedthe impact of coffee on the salivary pellicle Other dietaryagents that might affect the surfaces of teeth and dentalmaterials and hence staining should also be considered The

action of toothbrushing associatedwith the use of toothpasteshas been shown to be responsible for an increase in surfaceroughness in composite resins [11] In the present studythe composites showed perceptible color changes after thestaining procedures This result might be attributable tothe simulated brushing which resulted in varying degreesof roughness However using sensitivity-relief toothpastesincreased the staining level (except for Group N) whichmight be due to the possible staining effects of the ingredientsin these toothpastes Since composite specimens resulted inhigher E

lowast values than natural teeth clinicians should beaware of discoloration effect of resin restorative materialsespecially when using in the anterior region where thepossible discolorations will be most noticeable

Dentists often recommend toothbrushes with soft bristlesfor patients with sensitive teeth As the present study wasdesigned to test toothpastes for sensitive teeth the specimenswere brushed with soft brushes There is still controversy inthe literature surrounding cleaning and abrasionwith hard vssoft bristles however Zimmer et al [12] demonstrated bettercleaning was possible with hard filaments as compared withsoft ones This may have effected the clinically imperceptiblediscoloration for both natural teeth and composites in thepresent study as the soft brushes might not have been ableto clean the surfaces sufficiently

In one study [10] the roughness and optical stability(color translucency and gloss) of microfilled microhybridand nanofilled-composites submitted to simulated tooth-brushing over a period of 10 weeks were evaluated As aresult authors reported that toothbrushing increased theroughness and diminished the gloss of the resins In thecurrent study microhybrid composite is preferred by authorsbecause it is the most used resin material type for anteriorrestorations by the clinicians [34] and it was aimed toevaluate the optical properties of natural anterior humanteeth and resin restorative material applicable in the ante-rior region where the possible discolorations will be mostnoticeable

In Bernardon et al [18] the effect of desensitizing denti-frices on dentin wear was evaluated and the results showedthat all dentifrices cause a progressive increase in surfaceloss over time However no significant differences amongdentifrices were observed Another study demonstrated thatafter 10 hours of simulated toothbrushing ceramic surfacesexhibited no or little damage while composite materialsexhibited surface deterioration [16]The effect of toothbrush-ing on the deterioration of resin materials resulted in a rapidincrease in the surface roughness with the extent dependingon the material Results cannot be easily compared as thesestudies were conducted on the basis on different designparameters such as loading number of strokes toothbrushand toothpaste However the results of the present studyindicate that using sensitivity-relief toothpastes for up to sixmonths might cause discoloration for both natural teeth andcomposite materials and the amount of staining might differdepending on the toothpastersquos ingredients

Limitations of this study include the possible impactson results of different dietary factors and more frequentoral hygiene procedures Furthermore flat-surface composite

specimens were used in this study which may have affectedpropensity to stain Color measurements were done using acolorimeter in the present study However when measuringthe color of translucent dental materials small aperturecolorimeters are prone to the edge-loss effect Edge-losseffect generally occurs when illumination and color measure-ment are made through the same window Because of thetranslucency of the materials illuminating light sent fromthe device can be absorbed transmitted scattered reflectedand displaced in different directions [22] However when thespecimens were prepared with a greater diameter than themeasurement tip diameter the possible effects of edge-losscan be minimized [31]

As material surface can affect the staining procedureproperly further research is required to evaluate the surfacetopography of both composites and natural teeth which havebeen exhibited to brushing with desensitizing toothpastesusing different type of toothbrushes over a long period

5 Conclusions

Within the limitations of the present study the followingconclusions were drawn

Desensitizing toothpastes used in the study for sixmonths cause color changes below the values of 5050 ATbefore coffee staining

Usage of desensitizing toothpastes increased the amountof discoloration after storing in coffee for both compositesand natural teeth except for the novamin-containing tooth-paste

For natural teeth and composites desensitizing tooth-pastes containing SF SA or CPC cause color changes abovethe values of 5050 AT after simulated brushing and coffeestaining

Using novamin-containing toothpastes caused the natu-ral teeth and composites to becomebrighter and redder whilethe other desensitizing toothpastes diminished brightnessand increased yellowness

Natural teeth and restorative materials suffer stainingdue to both extrinsic and intrinsic factors Extrinsic factorsmainly include biofilm accumulation smoking or consump-tion of staining beverages [8] The oral environment isexposed daily to a variety of media that have the potentialto cause discoloration resulting in esthetic problems Manystudies have examined the discoloration effects of various fac-tors [9] Moreover despite the importance of toothbrushingfor optimal oral hygiene the discoloration effect of brushingon the dental structures has been noted [10 11] Althoughextrinsic stains can be removed partially or totally from thedental surface by toothbrushing [11 12] the abrasion causedby brushing may result in gradual loss of enamel dentin andrestorative materials [13ndash18] which can increase the surfaceroughness resulting to become more susceptible to staining[19ndash21]

Discoloration can be evaluated visually or with color-measuring devices such as colorimeters which can provideaccurate numerical color data [22] Color difference (ΔE)indicates whether a change in overall shade is able to beperceived by a human eye [23] Sharma has calculated theCIEDE2000 color difference (Δ11986400lowast) by using an Excelspreadsheet implementation [24] This formula was foundconsiderably more sophisticated providing better indicatorsof human perceptibility and acceptability of color differ-ences and computationally involved than the equationsfor CIELab Δ119864lowast119886119887 and the CIE94 color difference [23ndash25] The CIEDE2000 formula includes not only lightnesschroma and hue weighting functions but also an interactiveterm between chroma and hue differences and seems tooffer improvements over the CIELab formula that wouldimply better clinical relevance [20] Perceptibility threshold(PT) and acceptability threshold (AT) are major thresholdsfor evaluating color differences and serve as a control toassess the dental materials success and interpret visual andinstrumental findings as reported by Pravina et al [23] ThePT represents the judgment of the presenceabsence of exactmatch with a color difference at or below it being a nearlyperfect color match However the PT is of limited practicalrelevance as industry rarely strive or need to achieve an exactmatch which would be time consuming and expensive TheAT defines the overall acceptance of color matchmismatchrepresenting the industry tolerance between the PT and theunacceptable mismatch Consequently an acceptable matchin dentistry is a color difference at or below the AT [23] Inthe previous studies the Δ119864

Although the effect of toothbrushing on surface dete-rioration roughness and color changes have been studied[28 29] the effect of sensitivity-relief toothpastes on staining

of the natural human tooth and esthetic restorative materialshas not been reported The objectives of this study were toassess the effect of commonly used desensitizing toothpastescontaining different ingredients on the optical propertiesof natural tooth and resin composites after immersion incoffee over a six-month period The null hypotheses werethat brushing with desensitizing toothpastes would not causestaining and would not affect the optical properties of naturaltooth and resin composite materials after submitting to coffeestaining

2 Materials and Methods

21 Preparation of Specimens For the resin composite groupa total of 56 disk-shaped specimens were obtained using abrass mold with a socket (10 plusmn 005 mm diameter and 2plusmn 005 mm thickness) The microhybrid composite (GradiaDirect X GC) material was manipulated and polymerizedby covering the top surface with a glass slide and lightcuring (Elipar FreeLight 2 3MESPE) for 20 s perpendicularlyAfter removal from themold the specimens were light-curedfrom the bottom surface using the same parameters Thenspecimens were polished with silicon carbide (SiC) papers(Norton abrasives Guarulhos) of decreasing abrasiveness(600 1200 and 2000 grit) for 10 sec each by one clinicianThe specimens were measured at 3 points with a digitalmicrometer to ensure a standard thickness and if necessarythey were reproduced The specimens were divided intoseven groups randomly and stored at 37∘C and 100 relativehumidity for 24 hours before initial color measurements

For the natural tooth group a total of 56 human centralincisors recently extracted for periodontal reasons wereselected (use of natural teeth required ethics approval votenumber 201557)The teethwere stored in a 01 thymol solu-tion at room temperature for up to 4 weeks after extractionTeeth with any visible caries cracks or hypoplastic defectswere excluded All teeth were gently polished by one clinicianwith a rubber cup and polishing paste (CleanPolish Kerr)under running water for twominutesThe crowns of the teethwere then sectioned 2 mm apically to the cementoenameljunction using double-faced diamond discs under runningwater (KG Sorensen Barueri) The pulp tissues of the crownwere removed with hand instruments cleaned and thendivided into seven experimental procedure groups (n= 8)Before the baseline measurements were taken specimenswere immersed in artificial saliva at 37∘C for 24 hoursThe artificial saliva was prepared according to the followingformula 43 g xylitol 1 g sodium carboxymethylcellulose5 mg calcium chloride 40 mg potassium 01 g potassiumchloride phosphate 1 mg potassium thiocyanate and 100 gdeionized water

22 Color Measurement The Commission Internationale delrsquoEclairage (CIE) color measurements were obtained with acolorimeter (ShadeNCC Shofu) in a viewing booth underD65 standard illumination based on ISO standards (ISO7491)The colorimeter was calibrated according to the manu-facturer instructions before the experimental measurements

23 Simulated Toothbrushing After the initial color mea-surements were taken the labial surfaces of the naturalteeth and the composite surfaces were exposed to simulatedtoothbrushing using an electronic toothbrush (Braun Oral-B Advance Power) and soft toothbrushes (Oral-B SensitiveClean ProcterampGamble) Specimens were fixed horizontallyface-side-up and each brush set to result in a final weight of200 g The toothpaste slurry was prepared in a proportionof 11 by weight (150 g of toothpaste and 150 ml of artificialsaliva) Six different desensitizing toothpastes were used forthe present study and no toothpaste was used for the control(C) group (Table 1) Artificial saliva was prepared accordingto the formula described in the preparation of specimenssection above Each specimen was brushed daily using 40strokes This number was based on an estimate that a toothis brushed for 10 seconds in each daily toothbrushing of 2minutes [10] Considering that toothbrushing is performedtwice a day this means that each tooth will be submittedon average to 280 strokes weekly (2 strokes per second1120strokes in a mounth) resulting 6720 strokes for 6 monthsAfter every 1200 strokes brushes and toothpastes werereplaced and freshly mixed toothpaste slurries applied Thiscycle was repeated for each toothpaste

Specimens were then taken from the sample holderswashed for 1 minute with an airwater spray and put in anultrasonic cleaner for 10minutes after which theywerewipeddry with tissue paper The specimens were re-evaluated fortheir color measurements and color changes (Δ119864

4 Discussion

The first null hypothesis of the study was partially rejectedsignificant differences were found between the color changevalues of natural teeth and composite materials after usingdesensitizing toothpastes for six months The second nullhypothesis that desensitizing toothpastes would not affectstainability after coffee exposure was partially rejected fornatural teeth (GroupNdid not show significant color changesrelative to the control group) and rejected for compositematerials For all composite groups coffee staining increasedtheΔE

lowast values significantly Color changes were slighter fornatural teeth for all evaluated groups

As reported in a previous study [32] the different toler-ance could be expected when compared with the color differ-ences derived mostly from the differences in chroma Severalstudies [23 25ndash27] determined that 5050 PT ranged from080 to 130 ΔE

Several in vitro studies have shown that topically appliedfluoride agents may cause volume loss and surface changesin restorative materials such as resin or ceramics [13 33]High fluoride concentrations have been shown to causemore significant surface damageThe most common fluorideagents currently in use are 04 SnF

2and 10 NaF gel

04 SnF2concentration has a pH of 32 making it more

acidic than 10 NaF and this low pH may cause surfacedeterioration [33] One study found that NaF caused lesssurface deterioration and discoloration for porcelain thanSnF2after one year of clinical exposure [33] Other researchs

have also reported that stannous formulations have a possiblestaining side effect [19 20] Significant tooth staining may bethe result of stannous fluoride that generally causes productsto be unstable Hence this ingredient is not favored for use inbleaching agents [6]

Therefore the fact that Group SF experienced the highestdiscoloration in this study might be attributable to possibledamage of the surfaces of both natural teeth and compositesThe discoloration also may occur as a result of using the SnF

formulationIn this study both natural teeth and the composite

specimens that were exposed to simulated brushing withdesensitizing toothpastes and coffee became darker andmoreyellow Only novamin-containing toothpaste caused bothnatural teeth and the composites to become brighter (ieincreased the Llowast value) Novamin is an amorphous calcium

sodium phosphosilicate that reacts in aqueous environmentsto release calcium phosphate and sodium ions over timeThisinorganic compound was developed as a bone-regenerativematerial but has also shown to be combined with tooth dueto its high affinity with collagen when exposed to saliva emit-ting phosphate and calcium through the development of ahydroxyapatite-likemineral layerNovamin allows phosphateand calcium to be released from the surface These crystalsare known to fill in microscopic surface defects makingteeth stronger smoother and less sensitive This agent alsominimizes surface protein precipitation that can limit theability of chromagens to bind to teeth over time [7]

Roselino et al [11] reported that dentifrice abrasivenessdid not interfere with the ability to remove stains fromaged composites The authors also claimed that staining ismaterial-dependent Other studies have researched tooth-brushing has an effect on optical properties and surfaceroughness of esthetic dental materials [9 10] Toothbrushabrasion however could cause wear of composite resins mostcommonly on the buccal surface [14] As smaller and morehomogeneous fillers of a material would reduce the amountof exposed organic matrix material type surface-finishingtechniques composite particle size distribution and homo-geneity might also influence these results decreasing wearafter brushing [23] The oxidation of amine accelerators inthe composite material can cause discoloration changing huefrom a whitish to a yellow appearance Exogenous sourcessuch as coffee tea and nicotine are factors of extrinsicdiscoloration and these factors may be responsible for visibly

detectable or esthetically unacceptable color changes in den-tal materials or natural tooth [21] Perceptible color changeswere also observed in the present study for some groups afterthe experimental procedures (Tables 3 and 4)

The extrinsic staining of natural teeth is mainly explainedby incorporation of chromogens into the pellicle layer Otherstudies have reported that naked enamel will experience littlestaining even when exposed continuously to tea solutionsfor 24 hours or more [21] Major contributors to stainingof dentation are thought to be the beverages including teacoffee and cola Staining can occur via different mechanismsfor example discoloration caused by coffee occurs by boththe adsorption and absorption of colorants so the degreeof staining varies Chan et al [21] investigated the stainingpotential of beverages on different composite resins anddeclared that the greatest amount of discoloration occursduring the first week with results in this time period differingsignificantly from all succeeding weeks It is for this reasonthat in order to determine the potential for long-term stainretention an immersion time of one week was chosen in thepresent study

In the present study artificial saliva was used to stor-ing natural teeth and composite specimens before colormeasurements The deposition of stains and the subsequentaccumulation of artificial saliva act as amatrix andmay resultin discoloration [9]However the current study only capturedthe impact of coffee on the salivary pellicle Other dietaryagents that might affect the surfaces of teeth and dentalmaterials and hence staining should also be considered The

action of toothbrushing associatedwith the use of toothpasteshas been shown to be responsible for an increase in surfaceroughness in composite resins [11] In the present studythe composites showed perceptible color changes after thestaining procedures This result might be attributable tothe simulated brushing which resulted in varying degreesof roughness However using sensitivity-relief toothpastesincreased the staining level (except for Group N) whichmight be due to the possible staining effects of the ingredientsin these toothpastes Since composite specimens resulted inhigher E

lowast values than natural teeth clinicians should beaware of discoloration effect of resin restorative materialsespecially when using in the anterior region where thepossible discolorations will be most noticeable

Dentists often recommend toothbrushes with soft bristlesfor patients with sensitive teeth As the present study wasdesigned to test toothpastes for sensitive teeth the specimenswere brushed with soft brushes There is still controversy inthe literature surrounding cleaning and abrasionwith hard vssoft bristles however Zimmer et al [12] demonstrated bettercleaning was possible with hard filaments as compared withsoft ones This may have effected the clinically imperceptiblediscoloration for both natural teeth and composites in thepresent study as the soft brushes might not have been ableto clean the surfaces sufficiently

In one study [10] the roughness and optical stability(color translucency and gloss) of microfilled microhybridand nanofilled-composites submitted to simulated tooth-brushing over a period of 10 weeks were evaluated As aresult authors reported that toothbrushing increased theroughness and diminished the gloss of the resins In thecurrent study microhybrid composite is preferred by authorsbecause it is the most used resin material type for anteriorrestorations by the clinicians [34] and it was aimed toevaluate the optical properties of natural anterior humanteeth and resin restorative material applicable in the ante-rior region where the possible discolorations will be mostnoticeable

In Bernardon et al [18] the effect of desensitizing denti-frices on dentin wear was evaluated and the results showedthat all dentifrices cause a progressive increase in surfaceloss over time However no significant differences amongdentifrices were observed Another study demonstrated thatafter 10 hours of simulated toothbrushing ceramic surfacesexhibited no or little damage while composite materialsexhibited surface deterioration [16]The effect of toothbrush-ing on the deterioration of resin materials resulted in a rapidincrease in the surface roughness with the extent dependingon the material Results cannot be easily compared as thesestudies were conducted on the basis on different designparameters such as loading number of strokes toothbrushand toothpaste However the results of the present studyindicate that using sensitivity-relief toothpastes for up to sixmonths might cause discoloration for both natural teeth andcomposite materials and the amount of staining might differdepending on the toothpastersquos ingredients

Limitations of this study include the possible impactson results of different dietary factors and more frequentoral hygiene procedures Furthermore flat-surface composite

specimens were used in this study which may have affectedpropensity to stain Color measurements were done using acolorimeter in the present study However when measuringthe color of translucent dental materials small aperturecolorimeters are prone to the edge-loss effect Edge-losseffect generally occurs when illumination and color measure-ment are made through the same window Because of thetranslucency of the materials illuminating light sent fromthe device can be absorbed transmitted scattered reflectedand displaced in different directions [22] However when thespecimens were prepared with a greater diameter than themeasurement tip diameter the possible effects of edge-losscan be minimized [31]

As material surface can affect the staining procedureproperly further research is required to evaluate the surfacetopography of both composites and natural teeth which havebeen exhibited to brushing with desensitizing toothpastesusing different type of toothbrushes over a long period

5 Conclusions

Within the limitations of the present study the followingconclusions were drawn

Desensitizing toothpastes used in the study for sixmonths cause color changes below the values of 5050 ATbefore coffee staining

Usage of desensitizing toothpastes increased the amountof discoloration after storing in coffee for both compositesand natural teeth except for the novamin-containing tooth-paste

For natural teeth and composites desensitizing tooth-pastes containing SF SA or CPC cause color changes abovethe values of 5050 AT after simulated brushing and coffeestaining

Using novamin-containing toothpastes caused the natu-ral teeth and composites to becomebrighter and redder whilethe other desensitizing toothpastes diminished brightnessand increased yellowness

23 Simulated Toothbrushing After the initial color mea-surements were taken the labial surfaces of the naturalteeth and the composite surfaces were exposed to simulatedtoothbrushing using an electronic toothbrush (Braun Oral-B Advance Power) and soft toothbrushes (Oral-B SensitiveClean ProcterampGamble) Specimens were fixed horizontallyface-side-up and each brush set to result in a final weight of200 g The toothpaste slurry was prepared in a proportionof 11 by weight (150 g of toothpaste and 150 ml of artificialsaliva) Six different desensitizing toothpastes were used forthe present study and no toothpaste was used for the control(C) group (Table 1) Artificial saliva was prepared accordingto the formula described in the preparation of specimenssection above Each specimen was brushed daily using 40strokes This number was based on an estimate that a toothis brushed for 10 seconds in each daily toothbrushing of 2minutes [10] Considering that toothbrushing is performedtwice a day this means that each tooth will be submittedon average to 280 strokes weekly (2 strokes per second1120strokes in a mounth) resulting 6720 strokes for 6 monthsAfter every 1200 strokes brushes and toothpastes werereplaced and freshly mixed toothpaste slurries applied Thiscycle was repeated for each toothpaste

4 Discussion

The first null hypothesis of the study was partially rejectedsignificant differences were found between the color changevalues of natural teeth and composite materials after usingdesensitizing toothpastes for six months The second nullhypothesis that desensitizing toothpastes would not affectstainability after coffee exposure was partially rejected fornatural teeth (GroupNdid not show significant color changesrelative to the control group) and rejected for compositematerials For all composite groups coffee staining increasedtheΔE

00

lowast values significantly Color changes were slighter fornatural teeth for all evaluated groups

As reported in a previous study [32] the different toler-ance could be expected when compared with the color differ-ences derived mostly from the differences in chroma Severalstudies [23 25ndash27] determined that 5050 PT ranged from080 to 130 ΔE

00

lowast units and that 5050AT ranged from 180to 225 ΔE

00

lowast Paravina et al [23] have found 5050 PT andATs were significantly different CIEDE2000 5050 PT was08ΔE

00

lowast whereas 5050ATwas 18ΔE00

lowast In this study thecolor differences were beyond those values of 5050 PT forboth natural teeth and composites after simulated brushingand coffee staining Evaluating the 5050 AT Groups SFSA and CPC exhibited higher ΔE

00

lowast values for natural teethHowever for composites none of the groups were below thevalues of 5050 AT

Several in vitro studies have shown that topically appliedfluoride agents may cause volume loss and surface changesin restorative materials such as resin or ceramics [13 33]High fluoride concentrations have been shown to causemore significant surface damageThe most common fluorideagents currently in use are 04 SnF

2and 10 NaF gel

04 SnF2concentration has a pH of 32 making it more

acidic than 10 NaF and this low pH may cause surfacedeterioration [33] One study found that NaF caused lesssurface deterioration and discoloration for porcelain thanSnF2after one year of clinical exposure [33] Other researchs

have also reported that stannous formulations have a possiblestaining side effect [19 20] Significant tooth staining may bethe result of stannous fluoride that generally causes productsto be unstable Hence this ingredient is not favored for use inbleaching agents [6]

Therefore the fact that Group SF experienced the highestdiscoloration in this study might be attributable to possibledamage of the surfaces of both natural teeth and compositesThe discoloration also may occur as a result of using the SnF

formulationIn this study both natural teeth and the composite

specimens that were exposed to simulated brushing withdesensitizing toothpastes and coffee became darker andmoreyellow Only novamin-containing toothpaste caused bothnatural teeth and the composites to become brighter (ieincreased the Llowast value) Novamin is an amorphous calcium

sodium phosphosilicate that reacts in aqueous environmentsto release calcium phosphate and sodium ions over timeThisinorganic compound was developed as a bone-regenerativematerial but has also shown to be combined with tooth dueto its high affinity with collagen when exposed to saliva emit-ting phosphate and calcium through the development of ahydroxyapatite-likemineral layerNovamin allows phosphateand calcium to be released from the surface These crystalsare known to fill in microscopic surface defects makingteeth stronger smoother and less sensitive This agent alsominimizes surface protein precipitation that can limit theability of chromagens to bind to teeth over time [7]

Roselino et al [11] reported that dentifrice abrasivenessdid not interfere with the ability to remove stains fromaged composites The authors also claimed that staining ismaterial-dependent Other studies have researched tooth-brushing has an effect on optical properties and surfaceroughness of esthetic dental materials [9 10] Toothbrushabrasion however could cause wear of composite resins mostcommonly on the buccal surface [14] As smaller and morehomogeneous fillers of a material would reduce the amountof exposed organic matrix material type surface-finishingtechniques composite particle size distribution and homo-geneity might also influence these results decreasing wearafter brushing [23] The oxidation of amine accelerators inthe composite material can cause discoloration changing huefrom a whitish to a yellow appearance Exogenous sourcessuch as coffee tea and nicotine are factors of extrinsicdiscoloration and these factors may be responsible for visibly

detectable or esthetically unacceptable color changes in den-tal materials or natural tooth [21] Perceptible color changeswere also observed in the present study for some groups afterthe experimental procedures (Tables 3 and 4)

The extrinsic staining of natural teeth is mainly explainedby incorporation of chromogens into the pellicle layer Otherstudies have reported that naked enamel will experience littlestaining even when exposed continuously to tea solutionsfor 24 hours or more [21] Major contributors to stainingof dentation are thought to be the beverages including teacoffee and cola Staining can occur via different mechanismsfor example discoloration caused by coffee occurs by boththe adsorption and absorption of colorants so the degreeof staining varies Chan et al [21] investigated the stainingpotential of beverages on different composite resins anddeclared that the greatest amount of discoloration occursduring the first week with results in this time period differingsignificantly from all succeeding weeks It is for this reasonthat in order to determine the potential for long-term stainretention an immersion time of one week was chosen in thepresent study

In the present study artificial saliva was used to stor-ing natural teeth and composite specimens before colormeasurements The deposition of stains and the subsequentaccumulation of artificial saliva act as amatrix andmay resultin discoloration [9]However the current study only capturedthe impact of coffee on the salivary pellicle Other dietaryagents that might affect the surfaces of teeth and dentalmaterials and hence staining should also be considered The

action of toothbrushing associatedwith the use of toothpasteshas been shown to be responsible for an increase in surfaceroughness in composite resins [11] In the present studythe composites showed perceptible color changes after thestaining procedures This result might be attributable tothe simulated brushing which resulted in varying degreesof roughness However using sensitivity-relief toothpastesincreased the staining level (except for Group N) whichmight be due to the possible staining effects of the ingredientsin these toothpastes Since composite specimens resulted inhigher E

lowast values than natural teeth clinicians should beaware of discoloration effect of resin restorative materialsespecially when using in the anterior region where thepossible discolorations will be most noticeable

Dentists often recommend toothbrushes with soft bristlesfor patients with sensitive teeth As the present study wasdesigned to test toothpastes for sensitive teeth the specimenswere brushed with soft brushes There is still controversy inthe literature surrounding cleaning and abrasionwith hard vssoft bristles however Zimmer et al [12] demonstrated bettercleaning was possible with hard filaments as compared withsoft ones This may have effected the clinically imperceptiblediscoloration for both natural teeth and composites in thepresent study as the soft brushes might not have been ableto clean the surfaces sufficiently

In one study [10] the roughness and optical stability(color translucency and gloss) of microfilled microhybridand nanofilled-composites submitted to simulated tooth-brushing over a period of 10 weeks were evaluated As aresult authors reported that toothbrushing increased theroughness and diminished the gloss of the resins In thecurrent study microhybrid composite is preferred by authorsbecause it is the most used resin material type for anteriorrestorations by the clinicians [34] and it was aimed toevaluate the optical properties of natural anterior humanteeth and resin restorative material applicable in the ante-rior region where the possible discolorations will be mostnoticeable

In Bernardon et al [18] the effect of desensitizing denti-frices on dentin wear was evaluated and the results showedthat all dentifrices cause a progressive increase in surfaceloss over time However no significant differences amongdentifrices were observed Another study demonstrated thatafter 10 hours of simulated toothbrushing ceramic surfacesexhibited no or little damage while composite materialsexhibited surface deterioration [16]The effect of toothbrush-ing on the deterioration of resin materials resulted in a rapidincrease in the surface roughness with the extent dependingon the material Results cannot be easily compared as thesestudies were conducted on the basis on different designparameters such as loading number of strokes toothbrushand toothpaste However the results of the present studyindicate that using sensitivity-relief toothpastes for up to sixmonths might cause discoloration for both natural teeth andcomposite materials and the amount of staining might differdepending on the toothpastersquos ingredients

Limitations of this study include the possible impactson results of different dietary factors and more frequentoral hygiene procedures Furthermore flat-surface composite

specimens were used in this study which may have affectedpropensity to stain Color measurements were done using acolorimeter in the present study However when measuringthe color of translucent dental materials small aperturecolorimeters are prone to the edge-loss effect Edge-losseffect generally occurs when illumination and color measure-ment are made through the same window Because of thetranslucency of the materials illuminating light sent fromthe device can be absorbed transmitted scattered reflectedand displaced in different directions [22] However when thespecimens were prepared with a greater diameter than themeasurement tip diameter the possible effects of edge-losscan be minimized [31]

As material surface can affect the staining procedureproperly further research is required to evaluate the surfacetopography of both composites and natural teeth which havebeen exhibited to brushing with desensitizing toothpastesusing different type of toothbrushes over a long period

5 Conclusions

Within the limitations of the present study the followingconclusions were drawn

Desensitizing toothpastes used in the study for sixmonths cause color changes below the values of 5050 ATbefore coffee staining

Usage of desensitizing toothpastes increased the amountof discoloration after storing in coffee for both compositesand natural teeth except for the novamin-containing tooth-paste

For natural teeth and composites desensitizing tooth-pastes containing SF SA or CPC cause color changes abovethe values of 5050 AT after simulated brushing and coffeestaining

Using novamin-containing toothpastes caused the natu-ral teeth and composites to becomebrighter and redder whilethe other desensitizing toothpastes diminished brightnessand increased yellowness

4 Discussion

The first null hypothesis of the study was partially rejectedsignificant differences were found between the color changevalues of natural teeth and composite materials after usingdesensitizing toothpastes for six months The second nullhypothesis that desensitizing toothpastes would not affectstainability after coffee exposure was partially rejected fornatural teeth (GroupNdid not show significant color changesrelative to the control group) and rejected for compositematerials For all composite groups coffee staining increasedtheΔE

lowast values significantly Color changes were slighter fornatural teeth for all evaluated groups

As reported in a previous study [32] the different toler-ance could be expected when compared with the color differ-ences derived mostly from the differences in chroma Severalstudies [23 25ndash27] determined that 5050 PT ranged from080 to 130 ΔE

lowast values for natural teethHowever for composites none of the groups were below thevalues of 5050 AT

Several in vitro studies have shown that topically appliedfluoride agents may cause volume loss and surface changesin restorative materials such as resin or ceramics [13 33]High fluoride concentrations have been shown to causemore significant surface damageThe most common fluorideagents currently in use are 04 SnF

2and 10 NaF gel

04 SnF2concentration has a pH of 32 making it more

acidic than 10 NaF and this low pH may cause surfacedeterioration [33] One study found that NaF caused lesssurface deterioration and discoloration for porcelain thanSnF2after one year of clinical exposure [33] Other researchs

have also reported that stannous formulations have a possiblestaining side effect [19 20] Significant tooth staining may bethe result of stannous fluoride that generally causes productsto be unstable Hence this ingredient is not favored for use inbleaching agents [6]

Therefore the fact that Group SF experienced the highestdiscoloration in this study might be attributable to possibledamage of the surfaces of both natural teeth and compositesThe discoloration also may occur as a result of using the SnF

formulationIn this study both natural teeth and the composite

specimens that were exposed to simulated brushing withdesensitizing toothpastes and coffee became darker andmoreyellow Only novamin-containing toothpaste caused bothnatural teeth and the composites to become brighter (ieincreased the Llowast value) Novamin is an amorphous calcium

sodium phosphosilicate that reacts in aqueous environmentsto release calcium phosphate and sodium ions over timeThisinorganic compound was developed as a bone-regenerativematerial but has also shown to be combined with tooth dueto its high affinity with collagen when exposed to saliva emit-ting phosphate and calcium through the development of ahydroxyapatite-likemineral layerNovamin allows phosphateand calcium to be released from the surface These crystalsare known to fill in microscopic surface defects makingteeth stronger smoother and less sensitive This agent alsominimizes surface protein precipitation that can limit theability of chromagens to bind to teeth over time [7]

Roselino et al [11] reported that dentifrice abrasivenessdid not interfere with the ability to remove stains fromaged composites The authors also claimed that staining ismaterial-dependent Other studies have researched tooth-brushing has an effect on optical properties and surfaceroughness of esthetic dental materials [9 10] Toothbrushabrasion however could cause wear of composite resins mostcommonly on the buccal surface [14] As smaller and morehomogeneous fillers of a material would reduce the amountof exposed organic matrix material type surface-finishingtechniques composite particle size distribution and homo-geneity might also influence these results decreasing wearafter brushing [23] The oxidation of amine accelerators inthe composite material can cause discoloration changing huefrom a whitish to a yellow appearance Exogenous sourcessuch as coffee tea and nicotine are factors of extrinsicdiscoloration and these factors may be responsible for visibly

detectable or esthetically unacceptable color changes in den-tal materials or natural tooth [21] Perceptible color changeswere also observed in the present study for some groups afterthe experimental procedures (Tables 3 and 4)

The extrinsic staining of natural teeth is mainly explainedby incorporation of chromogens into the pellicle layer Otherstudies have reported that naked enamel will experience littlestaining even when exposed continuously to tea solutionsfor 24 hours or more [21] Major contributors to stainingof dentation are thought to be the beverages including teacoffee and cola Staining can occur via different mechanismsfor example discoloration caused by coffee occurs by boththe adsorption and absorption of colorants so the degreeof staining varies Chan et al [21] investigated the stainingpotential of beverages on different composite resins anddeclared that the greatest amount of discoloration occursduring the first week with results in this time period differingsignificantly from all succeeding weeks It is for this reasonthat in order to determine the potential for long-term stainretention an immersion time of one week was chosen in thepresent study

In the present study artificial saliva was used to stor-ing natural teeth and composite specimens before colormeasurements The deposition of stains and the subsequentaccumulation of artificial saliva act as amatrix andmay resultin discoloration [9]However the current study only capturedthe impact of coffee on the salivary pellicle Other dietaryagents that might affect the surfaces of teeth and dentalmaterials and hence staining should also be considered The

action of toothbrushing associatedwith the use of toothpasteshas been shown to be responsible for an increase in surfaceroughness in composite resins [11] In the present studythe composites showed perceptible color changes after thestaining procedures This result might be attributable tothe simulated brushing which resulted in varying degreesof roughness However using sensitivity-relief toothpastesincreased the staining level (except for Group N) whichmight be due to the possible staining effects of the ingredientsin these toothpastes Since composite specimens resulted inhigher E

lowast values than natural teeth clinicians should beaware of discoloration effect of resin restorative materialsespecially when using in the anterior region where thepossible discolorations will be most noticeable

Dentists often recommend toothbrushes with soft bristlesfor patients with sensitive teeth As the present study wasdesigned to test toothpastes for sensitive teeth the specimenswere brushed with soft brushes There is still controversy inthe literature surrounding cleaning and abrasionwith hard vssoft bristles however Zimmer et al [12] demonstrated bettercleaning was possible with hard filaments as compared withsoft ones This may have effected the clinically imperceptiblediscoloration for both natural teeth and composites in thepresent study as the soft brushes might not have been ableto clean the surfaces sufficiently

In one study [10] the roughness and optical stability(color translucency and gloss) of microfilled microhybridand nanofilled-composites submitted to simulated tooth-brushing over a period of 10 weeks were evaluated As aresult authors reported that toothbrushing increased theroughness and diminished the gloss of the resins In thecurrent study microhybrid composite is preferred by authorsbecause it is the most used resin material type for anteriorrestorations by the clinicians [34] and it was aimed toevaluate the optical properties of natural anterior humanteeth and resin restorative material applicable in the ante-rior region where the possible discolorations will be mostnoticeable

In Bernardon et al [18] the effect of desensitizing denti-frices on dentin wear was evaluated and the results showedthat all dentifrices cause a progressive increase in surfaceloss over time However no significant differences amongdentifrices were observed Another study demonstrated thatafter 10 hours of simulated toothbrushing ceramic surfacesexhibited no or little damage while composite materialsexhibited surface deterioration [16]The effect of toothbrush-ing on the deterioration of resin materials resulted in a rapidincrease in the surface roughness with the extent dependingon the material Results cannot be easily compared as thesestudies were conducted on the basis on different designparameters such as loading number of strokes toothbrushand toothpaste However the results of the present studyindicate that using sensitivity-relief toothpastes for up to sixmonths might cause discoloration for both natural teeth andcomposite materials and the amount of staining might differdepending on the toothpastersquos ingredients

Limitations of this study include the possible impactson results of different dietary factors and more frequentoral hygiene procedures Furthermore flat-surface composite

specimens were used in this study which may have affectedpropensity to stain Color measurements were done using acolorimeter in the present study However when measuringthe color of translucent dental materials small aperturecolorimeters are prone to the edge-loss effect Edge-losseffect generally occurs when illumination and color measure-ment are made through the same window Because of thetranslucency of the materials illuminating light sent fromthe device can be absorbed transmitted scattered reflectedand displaced in different directions [22] However when thespecimens were prepared with a greater diameter than themeasurement tip diameter the possible effects of edge-losscan be minimized [31]

As material surface can affect the staining procedureproperly further research is required to evaluate the surfacetopography of both composites and natural teeth which havebeen exhibited to brushing with desensitizing toothpastesusing different type of toothbrushes over a long period

5 Conclusions

Within the limitations of the present study the followingconclusions were drawn

Desensitizing toothpastes used in the study for sixmonths cause color changes below the values of 5050 ATbefore coffee staining

Usage of desensitizing toothpastes increased the amountof discoloration after storing in coffee for both compositesand natural teeth except for the novamin-containing tooth-paste

For natural teeth and composites desensitizing tooth-pastes containing SF SA or CPC cause color changes abovethe values of 5050 AT after simulated brushing and coffeestaining

Using novamin-containing toothpastes caused the natu-ral teeth and composites to becomebrighter and redder whilethe other desensitizing toothpastes diminished brightnessand increased yellowness

The extrinsic staining of natural teeth is mainly explainedby incorporation of chromogens into the pellicle layer Otherstudies have reported that naked enamel will experience littlestaining even when exposed continuously to tea solutionsfor 24 hours or more [21] Major contributors to stainingof dentation are thought to be the beverages including teacoffee and cola Staining can occur via different mechanismsfor example discoloration caused by coffee occurs by boththe adsorption and absorption of colorants so the degreeof staining varies Chan et al [21] investigated the stainingpotential of beverages on different composite resins anddeclared that the greatest amount of discoloration occursduring the first week with results in this time period differingsignificantly from all succeeding weeks It is for this reasonthat in order to determine the potential for long-term stainretention an immersion time of one week was chosen in thepresent study

In the present study artificial saliva was used to stor-ing natural teeth and composite specimens before colormeasurements The deposition of stains and the subsequentaccumulation of artificial saliva act as amatrix andmay resultin discoloration [9]However the current study only capturedthe impact of coffee on the salivary pellicle Other dietaryagents that might affect the surfaces of teeth and dentalmaterials and hence staining should also be considered The

action of toothbrushing associatedwith the use of toothpasteshas been shown to be responsible for an increase in surfaceroughness in composite resins [11] In the present studythe composites showed perceptible color changes after thestaining procedures This result might be attributable tothe simulated brushing which resulted in varying degreesof roughness However using sensitivity-relief toothpastesincreased the staining level (except for Group N) whichmight be due to the possible staining effects of the ingredientsin these toothpastes Since composite specimens resulted inhigher E

lowast values than natural teeth clinicians should beaware of discoloration effect of resin restorative materialsespecially when using in the anterior region where thepossible discolorations will be most noticeable

Dentists often recommend toothbrushes with soft bristlesfor patients with sensitive teeth As the present study wasdesigned to test toothpastes for sensitive teeth the specimenswere brushed with soft brushes There is still controversy inthe literature surrounding cleaning and abrasionwith hard vssoft bristles however Zimmer et al [12] demonstrated bettercleaning was possible with hard filaments as compared withsoft ones This may have effected the clinically imperceptiblediscoloration for both natural teeth and composites in thepresent study as the soft brushes might not have been ableto clean the surfaces sufficiently

In one study [10] the roughness and optical stability(color translucency and gloss) of microfilled microhybridand nanofilled-composites submitted to simulated tooth-brushing over a period of 10 weeks were evaluated As aresult authors reported that toothbrushing increased theroughness and diminished the gloss of the resins In thecurrent study microhybrid composite is preferred by authorsbecause it is the most used resin material type for anteriorrestorations by the clinicians [34] and it was aimed toevaluate the optical properties of natural anterior humanteeth and resin restorative material applicable in the ante-rior region where the possible discolorations will be mostnoticeable

In Bernardon et al [18] the effect of desensitizing denti-frices on dentin wear was evaluated and the results showedthat all dentifrices cause a progressive increase in surfaceloss over time However no significant differences amongdentifrices were observed Another study demonstrated thatafter 10 hours of simulated toothbrushing ceramic surfacesexhibited no or little damage while composite materialsexhibited surface deterioration [16]The effect of toothbrush-ing on the deterioration of resin materials resulted in a rapidincrease in the surface roughness with the extent dependingon the material Results cannot be easily compared as thesestudies were conducted on the basis on different designparameters such as loading number of strokes toothbrushand toothpaste However the results of the present studyindicate that using sensitivity-relief toothpastes for up to sixmonths might cause discoloration for both natural teeth andcomposite materials and the amount of staining might differdepending on the toothpastersquos ingredients

Limitations of this study include the possible impactson results of different dietary factors and more frequentoral hygiene procedures Furthermore flat-surface composite

specimens were used in this study which may have affectedpropensity to stain Color measurements were done using acolorimeter in the present study However when measuringthe color of translucent dental materials small aperturecolorimeters are prone to the edge-loss effect Edge-losseffect generally occurs when illumination and color measure-ment are made through the same window Because of thetranslucency of the materials illuminating light sent fromthe device can be absorbed transmitted scattered reflectedand displaced in different directions [22] However when thespecimens were prepared with a greater diameter than themeasurement tip diameter the possible effects of edge-losscan be minimized [31]

As material surface can affect the staining procedureproperly further research is required to evaluate the surfacetopography of both composites and natural teeth which havebeen exhibited to brushing with desensitizing toothpastesusing different type of toothbrushes over a long period

5 Conclusions

Within the limitations of the present study the followingconclusions were drawn

Desensitizing toothpastes used in the study for sixmonths cause color changes below the values of 5050 ATbefore coffee staining

Usage of desensitizing toothpastes increased the amountof discoloration after storing in coffee for both compositesand natural teeth except for the novamin-containing tooth-paste

For natural teeth and composites desensitizing tooth-pastes containing SF SA or CPC cause color changes abovethe values of 5050 AT after simulated brushing and coffeestaining

Using novamin-containing toothpastes caused the natu-ral teeth and composites to becomebrighter and redder whilethe other desensitizing toothpastes diminished brightnessand increased yellowness
