- Abstract
The color adjustment potential of resin composites depends on the specific characteristics of the surrounding structures. The authors evaluated the influence of cavity wall thickness on CIEDE2000 color adjustment potential (CAP 00) of single-shade composites using the CIEDE2000 color difference (ΔE 00) formula. Two types of specimens were produced: single, using Vittra APS color DA3 (FGM Dental), Vittra APS Unique (VU) (FGM Dental), and Omnichroma (Tokuyama Dental) composites; and dual, using Vittra APS color DA3, but with cavity wall thicknesses of 3, 2, or 1 mm, restored with VU or Omnichroma. CIEL∗a∗b∗ color coordinates were obtained from digital photographs of the specimens at different locations, and ΔE 00 and CAP 00 were calculated. Statistical analysis included 2-way analysis of variance, Kruskal-Wallis, Holm-Sidak, Student-Newman-Keuls, Wilcoxon signed rank, and paired t tests (α = 5%). Cavity walls 1-mm-thick had higher ΔE 00 values and lower CAP 00 values, particularly for VU (P <.05). Restorations matched better with the control at the periphery than the central area (P <.001). Overall ΔE 00 means exceeded the color perceptibility threshold (ie, 0.8) and the acceptability threshold (ie, 1.8). Color differences (between center of restoration and control composite) were moderately unacceptable for 3-mm and 2-mm thicknesses and extremely unacceptable for 1-mm thickness. Both composites had a ΔE 00 color shift predominately determined by means of the lightness difference. Positive CAP 00 values were found for VU and Omnichroma. Wall thickness, especially at 1 mm, negatively impacted the color of single- shade composites. This effect was more pronounced for VU, affecting mainly the restoration's central area. Color matching ability depends on the structural and material characteristics, and clinicians should be attentive to these factors when using single-shade resin composites.
