Abstract

The influence of curing mode and shade of resin cements on the color stability of minimum-thickness ceramic veneers after a three-year storage time in distilled water was evaluated in this study. Ninety-six 0.5-mm-thick feldspathic ceramic veneers (Mark II) were luted onto resin composite substrates (Filtek Z350 XT, shade A2E) with two light-cured (NX3 Light-cure and AllCem Veneer) and dual-cured resin cements (NX3 dual-cure and AllCem) in various shades. The specimens were stored in distilled water at 37°C. Color measurements were performed with a spectrophotometer at the following times: 1h and 24h; 7, 30, and 180 days; and 1, 2, and 3 years. Data for color difference (ΔEab) light-cured and dual-cured resin cements were analyzed by two-way ANOVA with repeated measures and Tukey's test (α = 0.05). For the light-cured cements, the ΔEab values were as follows: NX3-Yellow (2.37±1.35) = ACV-A1 (2.40±1.21) = ACV-Trans (2.52±1.46) = ACV-E-Bleach M (2.56±1.42) = NX3-White (2.69±1.49) = NX3-Clear (2.98±1.68). The lowest ΔE values were found for 1 h (0.61±0.36)a, followed by 24 h (1.15±0.55)b and 30 days (2.48±1.11)c. One year, 180 days, and 2 and 3 years presented higher ΔEab values (3.34±0.94, 3.52±1.04, 3.52±0.95 and 3.55±1.14, respectively)d. For the dual-cured cements, the ΔEab values varied as follows: NX3-Clear (2.32±1.24)a = NX3-Yellow (2.37±1.32)a = NX3-White (2.76±1.43)a < AC-Trans (3.77±1.91)b = AC-A3 (4.13±2.11)b < AC-A1 (5.38±2.92)c. Considering time, the lowest ΔEab values were found for 1 h (0.48±0.25)a, followed by 24 h (2.13 ±0.83)b, 30 days (3.54±1.31)c, and 180 days (3,70±1.73)c. The follow-up times of 1 (4.43±2.15)d, 2 (5.02±1.74)e, and 3 years (4.90±2.12)e presented higher ΔEab values. This study demonstrated that light-cured resin cements were less susceptible to color change than dual-cured cements. After 2 years of follow-up, all cements presented ΔEab values above the acceptability threshold.
