Tiivistelmä
Objective: To determine the effects of different polishing protocols and curing times on the surface roughness (SR), surface gloss (SG) and surface hardness (SH) of a bulk-fill composite resin (BCR).Methods: A total of 30 block-shaped specimens (40 mm long x 10 mm wide x 2 mm thick) were made from Filtek Bulk-Fill composite resin and divided into two groups (n = 15) according to curing time (10 and 40 seconds). Each group was subdivided into five groups (n = 3) according to the polishing protocol: laboratory polishing with different silicon paper grits (G1:1200) -> (G2:2400) -> (G3:4000). Chairside polishing was performed using a series of Sof-Lex spiral (G4) and Jiffy Polisher (G5) points. The SR was measured by a surface profilometer. A Vickers indenter was used to test the SH, and a glossmeter was used to determine the SG at 60 degrees. The SR, SG and SH were quantified before and after polishing. A scanning electron microscopy (SEM) evaluation was then performed.Results: The curing time did not affect the surface properties of the BCR (P > 0.05). Significant differences in SR (ranging from 0.1 to 2 mu m) and SG (ranging from 20 to 90 GU [gloss unit]) were found according to the type of polishing protocol (P < 0.05). The SH values following different polishing protocols were significantly higher (ranging from 82 to 95 VH [Vickers hardness]) than the polishing values obtained before the polishing protocols (P < 0.05).Conclusion: The tested chairside polishing protocols presented lower SG and higher SR values than the laboratory polishing protocols.
