|
Objectives: The aim of this study was to verify the match between 5 shades of composites from different manufacturers with a shade guide and among the systems using a portable spectrophotometer.
Materials and Methods: Shade measurements were performed on specimens of Z350 XT (3M ESPE), Charisma Diamond (Heraeus Kulzer GmbH), Esthet X-HD (Dentsply Caulk), and Empress Direct (Ivoclar-Vivadent) for shades A1, A2, A3, B1, and C3 using a Vita Easyshade spectrophotometer (Vita Zahnfabrik) against a white background. Corresponding shades of Vitapan Classical (Vita Zahnfabrik) guide were measured likewise and shade variation (¥ÄE) was calculated based on International Commission on Illumination L*a*b* parameters. The ¥ÄE of the composites in each shade was compared by one-way analysis of variance and Tukey's post hoc test (¥á = 0.05).
Results: All composites presented ¥ÄE > 3.7 compared with the shade guide. Variation in shades A3, B1, and C3 was significantly different for all composites. ¥ÄE of Z350 XT was significantly lower for A1 than for the other shades, whereas ¥ÄE of Z350 XT and Charisma Diamond were significantly lower for A2 than for the other shades.
Conclusions: No composite shade matched with the shade guide. Equivalent shades of the restorative composite from different manufacturers may show clinically noticeable ¥ÄE.
