Efectividad del enjuague bucal con alcohol y sin alcohol sobre el color en resinas compuestas.

Abstract

Introduction: Composite resins are materials of great importance in restorative and conservative dentistry, with the purpose of achieving aesthetic, functional and anatomical stability of the teeth. These dental resins have become highly relevant composite materials in the field of Dentistry, being considered a success in restorations. Mouthwashes are considered auxiliary tools for oral hygiene to control plaque and prevent carious lesions and periodontal diseases. Objectives: Determine the effectiveness of mouthwash with or without alcohol on the color of composite resins. Materials and methods: The study population and sample of this work consisted of 80 polished and unpolished resin cylinders; belonging to 2 types of nano hybrid composite resins color A2, were immersed in mouthwash with alcohol and without alcohol at time intervals of 12, 24 and 36 hours, depending on their respective group, data was collected for comparison of results. Results: It had greater color variation in the unpolished resin samples immersed in alcohol mouthwash; Forma and Vittra resin samples at 36 hours reflected an EA4 color. Consequently, the polished resin fragments immersed in mouthwash with alcohol reflect color variation in the resin forms an EA3 after 36 hours and in the Vittra resin a color EA 3.5 The polished and unpolished resin samples immersed in mouthwash without alcohol did not have a significant change, since, in the time intervals of 12, 24 and 36 hours, they remained at the initial color EA2. Conclusion: It was concluded that the resin fragments with the greatest alteration in color were; the unpolished nano-hybrid resin fragments immersed in alcohol mouthwash after 36 hours. Polished and unpolished resin fragments immersed in alcohol-free mouthwash had no significant impact on their color.
