Surface roughness of composite resins subjected to brushing with whitening toothpastes: an in vitro study

Abstract The emergence of toothpastes containing different abrasive and whitening substances has been a constant concern among dental professionals. The aim of the present study was to perform an in vitro assessment of the surface topography of nanoparticle composite resins subjected to simulated br...

description Abstract The emergence of toothpastes containing different abrasive and whitening substances has been a constant concern among dental professionals. The aim of the present study was to perform an in vitro assessment of the surface topography of nanoparticle composite resins subjected to simulated brushing with dentifrices. Test samples were prepared with Filtek Universal (3M ESPE), Filtek Bulkfill (3M ESPE) and Z350 (3M ESPE), with 24 samples per resin. A testing machine was used to simulate brushing with the dentifrices Colgate Total 12, Oral B 100% and Oral B Gengiva Detox Gentle Whitening (8 samples per group). The constant speed of the machine was 250 cycles per minute, and 20.000 cycles were carried out, which corresponds to 24 months (1 hour and 20 minutes). Roughness features and qualitative surface topography were investigated. Statistical analysis involved the Kruskal–Wallis, Wilcoxon and Mann–Whitney tests. A significant increase in surface roughness was found for all the resins (p < 0.05). However, no significant difference was found among the resins in terms of final roughness values (p = 0.690). In contrast, a significant difference among dentifrices was found with respect to roughness measurements (p < 0.001). The qualitative analysis revealed an increase in surface roughness in all the samples and differences in the abrasive potential of the dentifrices. In conclusion, brushing with dentifrices increases the surface roughness parameters of composite resin restorations. Moreover, the differences in the abrasive effects of the dentifrices indicate a need for further studies to establish efficacy and safety criteria.
