Effect of a new remineralizing biomaterial on the color of dental enamel.

The aim of this research was to describe the effects of altering the composition of a modified remineralizing agent (MRA) and the osmotic pressure on tooth color by using spectrophotometric analysis. One hundred and four (104) human premolars and molars were randomly divided into 2 groups of 52 specimens each. Group 1 was treated with the remineralizing agent MRA 55, (remineralizing agent 1), a 50% - 50% by weight mixture of coarse-grain and fine-grain generating minerals, and group 2 was treated with the remineralizing agent MRA 91 (remineralizing agent 2), containing the same minerals in a 90% - 10% proportion. Each group was divided into 2 subgroups with 26 specimens each, which were stored as follows: subgroups A were stored in synthetic saliva with isotonic osmotic pressure (IP), and subgroups B in hypotonic osmotic pressure saliva (HP). The initial and final readings were taken with a Vita Easy Shade spectrophotometer. Color parameters (L*, a*, b*) and whiteness indices (WIC, WIO, W) were calculated from the readings. The color changes (deltaL, deltaA, deltaB, and deltaE) and whiteness indices were compared and analyzed with descriptive analyses. The variables deltaL, deltaA, deltaB, deltaE, and the whiteness index W were analyzed with an analysis of variance (ANOVA), and the indices WIC and WIO were analyzed with a nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA. The results indicate that combination A2 (MRA 91 and IP) affected variables deltaB and deltaE, while combination B1 (MRA 55 and HP) affected variables deltaA, deltaB and the whiteness index WIO. Only MRA 91 affected the variable deltaL. The osmotic pressure of saliva and the remineralizing agent used affect the color of dental enamel.

Effect of a new remineralizing biomaterial on the color of dental enamel

El objetivo de este trabajo fue describir el efecto de la composición de una sustancia remineralizante (SRM) y de la presión osmótica sobre el color dental mediante espectrofotometría. Se tomaron 104 premolares y molares humanos repartidos aleatoriamente en 2 grupos, cada uno de 52 especímenes. El grupo 1 se trató con la sustancia remineralizante SRM 55 (agente remineralizante 1) mezcla de 50 por ciento - 50 por ciento de mineral de grano fino y otro mineral de grano grueso y el grupo 2 se trató con la sustancia remineralizante SRM 91(agente remineralizante 2) contienen los mismos minerales en proporción 90 por ciento - 10 por ciento. A su vez cada grupo se dividió en 2 subgrupos, cada uno de 26 especímenes que se almacenaron así: Un subgrupo en saliva sintética con presión osmótica isotónica (PI) y el otro con presión osmótica hipotónica (PH). Se tomaron registros iniciales y finales con el espectrofotómetro Vita Easy Shade®. Con las lecturas se calcularon losparámetros de color (L*; a*; b*) y los índices de blanqueamiento (WIC; WIO; W). Los cambios de color (ΔL; ΔA; ΔB; yΔE) y los índices de blanqueamiento se compararon y se trataron todos mediante un análisis descriptivo. Las variables ΔA, ΔL, ΔB, ΔE e índice de blanqueamiento W se trataron con ANOVA y los índices WIC y WIO con un análisis de varianza no paramétrico Kruskal Wallis. Los resultados indican que la combinación A2 (SRM 91 y PI) afectó las variables ΔB y ΔE. La combinación B1 (SRM 55 Y PH) afectó las variables ΔA, ΔB y el índice de blanqueamiento WIO. Solamente SRM 91afectó la variable ΔL. La presión osmótica de la saliva y la sustancia remineralizante afectan el color del esmalte dental...
