Abstract

The aim is to evaluate the effects of gastric juice and dentifrices on optical and surface properties of CAD/CAM materials bonded on two substrates and analyzed under different illuminants. Disks (7.5 x 1.0 mm; N=150/material) from Lava Ultimate (3M ESPE), Grandio Blocs (VOCO), VITA Enamic (VITA Zahnfabrik), and VITABLOCS Mark II (VITA Zahnfabrik); and of dentin (N=300) and composite resin (N=300) will be obtained. Specimens will be prepared with disks of each material being bonded to disks of dentin or composite resin with a dual resin cement. In study 1, disks will be allocated into 4 groups (n=15), according to substrate and exposure: (1) dentin/artificial saliva; (2) dentin/gastric juice; (3) composite resin/artificial saliva; or (4) composite resin/gastric juice. Exposure to simulated gastric juice or artificial saliva, followed by toothbrushing, will be simulated for 5-years of clinical function. In subproject 2, disks of CAD/CAM materials will receive staining and glazing procedures and, then, will be divided into 6 groups (n=15), according to substrate and dentifrice: (1) dentin/conventional; (2) dentin/whitening; (3) dentin/charcoal activated; (4) composite resin/conventional; (5) composite resin/whitening; (6) composite resin/charcoal activated. The toothbrushing will be performed for a 5-year clinical simulation. In both subprojects, data will be obtained with a spectrophotometer under illuminants D65, A or F2 for analysis of lightness, color coordinates, color change, and coefficients of light reflection, transmission, absorption, and dispersion, applying the Kubelka-Munk theory. The surface roughness and topography will be evaluated by confocal microscopy and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) will be performed for chemical characterization and elemental analysis. Data will be submitted to statistical analysis with a significance level of 95%.
