Materials and MethodsTwo additively manufactured composite resins (Crowntec, CT and VarseoSmile Crown Plus, VS) and a subtractively manufactured resin nanoceramic (Cerasmart, CS) were used to fabricate 90 rectangular-shaped specimens (14 x 12 x 1 mm) (n = 30). After baseline surface roughness (R-a) measurements, specimens were divided into three groups based on the polishing technique; conventional polishing with a 2-stage polishing kit (CP) and surface sealant application (Optiglaze, OG or Vita Akzent LC, VA) (n = 10). After polishing, specimens were subjected to 10,000 cycles of coffee thermal cycling. R-a and color coordinate measurements were performed after polishing and after coffee thermal cycling. Color difference (& UDelta;E-00) was calculated. Scanning electron microscope images were taken at each time interval. Kruskal-Wallis or 1-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to evaluate R-a of materials within each polishing-time interval pair and different polishing techniques within each material-time interval pair, while Friedman or repeated measures ANOVA were used to evaluate R-a at different time intervals within each material-polishing pair. & UDelta;E-00 was assessed with 2-way ANOVA (& alpha; = 0.05). ResultsOther than VA-after polishing (p = 0.055), tested materials had significantly different R-a within each polishing-time interval pair (p & LE; 0.038). When R-a differences among different polishing techniques within each material-time interval pair were considered, CS had differences after coffee thermal cycling, CT had differences before polishing and after coffee thermal cycling, and VS had differences within each time interval (p & LE; 0.038). When R-a differences among different time intervals within each material-polishing pair were considered, significant differences were observed among all pairs (p & LE; 0.016), except for CS-VA (p = 0.695) and VS-VA (p = 0.300). & UDelta;E-00 values were affected by material and polishing technique interaction (p = 0.007). ConclusionsR(a) of CS was similar to or lower than the R-a of other materials, regardless of the time interval or polishing technique. CP mostly led to lower R-a than other polishing techniques, whereas VA resulted in a high R-a regardless of the material-time interval pair. Polishing reduced the R-a, while coffee thermal cycling was found to have a small effect. Among tested material-polishing pairs, only CS-VA had moderately unacceptable color change when previously reported threshold values were considered.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAdditive ManufacturingCoffee Thermal CyclingPolishingStainabilitySurface RoughnessArticle37421940WOS:0010307063000012-s2.0-85165415426N/A10.1111/jopr.13730Q1
