Effect of Various Commercially Available Mouthwashes on Color Stability of IPS Empress Ceramic Restoration: An In-vitro Study

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to compare the color stability of IPS EMPRESS direct (Ivoclar Vivadent) ceramic restorations after exposure to two commercially available mouth rinses.
Method: Thirty disc-shaped specimens (10x4 mm) of IPS IMPRESS direct (Ivoclar Vivadent) ceramic restoration was prepared. The specimens were separated into three groups (n=10) randomly. Commonly used mouthwashes, chlorhexidine0.2 %, and Listerine were used as experimental groups. Distilled water was used as the control group. Specimens were immersed in 10 ml of each, for 20 minutes every day for 30 consecutive days. The color values of each were measured before and after immersion by the NIX color sensor according to the CIELAB color scale. Their color change value was calculated. Data were analyzed and interpreted using IBM SPSS version 22. A two-way analysis of variance at a significance level of .05 was used for further evaluation of the collected data.
Results: There was a significant difference in the color change of restorative material following immersion in mouthwashes.
Conclusions: Following immersion in mouth rinses, ceramic restorative materials revealed a color difference.
