Purpose: To evaluate the effect of whitening mouthrinses on the color change, whiteness change, surface roughness, and hardness of stained resin composites after different immersion times.
Methods: Three different resin composites (Estelite Σ Quick, G-Aenial Anterior, Omnichroma) were used to prepare a total of 90 samples (30 samples from each resin composite). The samples were kept in coffee for 12 days, then divided into three subgroups (Control, Crest 3D White, and Listerine Advanced White; n=10 each). Color change (ΔE₀₀) and whiteness change (ΔWID) were evaluated at time intervals of 0-24 hours (T0-T1), 0-72 hours (T0-T2), and 24-72 hours (T1-T2). Surface roughness and hardness values were evaluated at T0, T1, and T2 after immersion in mouthrinses. Two-way ANOVA (for color and whiteness changes) and generalized linear model (for surface roughness and hardness) were used for data analyses (P< 0.05).
Results: Omnichroma had the highest value for color change with Crest 3D White during T0-T1 and T0-T2. Crest 3D White showed better color changes than Listerine Advanced White. In all composites and mouthrinse groups, the highest and lowest values of ΔWID were at T0-T2 and T1-T2, respectively, with the highest value for Omnichroma with Crest 3D White at T0-T2 and the lowest for G-Aenial Anterior with control groups at T1-T2. The highest roughness values were found with the Omnichroma at T2. Whitening mouthrinses significantly increased roughness and decreased hardness compared to baseline.
Clinical Significance: Short-term regular use of whitening mouthrinse can recover color and increase the perception of whiteness without any significant increase in the roughness or hardness of resin composites, while long-term use affects both the roughness and hardness of resin composites.

The additive manufacturing of hardmetals has attracted great attention recently but faces significant challenges in low printing resolution and low mechanical strength. Herein, the fabrication of hardmetal parts with complex structures and high surface quality by vat photopolymerization assisted with a sintering process has been achieved. This was enabled by in situ polymerization-induced microencapsulation of WC powder, which simultaneously enhances the photocuring ability and sedimentation stability of the WC-Co slurry.

Background/purpose: High gold (Au) alloys have many advantages, such as good mechanical properties and stable chemical properties for dental restoration. The purpose of this investigation was to investigate the effect of zirconia (ZrO)-magnesia (MgO)-based investment combined with an argon arc vacuum pressure (Ar-arc VP) casting process on the recasting of high Au alloys.
Materials And Methods: The recasting Au alloys were compared between the control group of conventional SiO-based investment/horizontal centrifugal (HC) casting and the experimental group of ZrO-MgO-based investment/Ar-arc VP die casting.

This study was conducted to evaluate the material properties of polymer-infiltrated zinc oxide networks (PICN) and the effect of using a phosphate monomer-containing primer applied before polymer infiltration. A total of 148 ZnO-network (zinc oxide) specimens were produced: = 74 were treated with a primer before polymer infiltration and light curing, while the remaining specimens were untreated. Each group was divided into two subgroups ( = 37) based on the infiltrating polymer: UDMA (aliphatic urethane-dimethacrylates)-TEGDMA (triethylene glycol-dimethacrylate) or BisGMA (bisphenol A-glycidyl-methacrylate)-TEGDMA.

Wire-arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) has fully empowered the design and manufacturing of metals with its unparalleled efficiency and flexibility. However, the process has relatively poor shape control capabilities, often requiring machining post-processing. This study explores a tungsten inert gas arc remelting (TIGAR) process to improve the surface flatness of WAAM components at a low cost and significantly reduce machining waste (up to 76%), which is crucial for the sustainable development of the process.

This study evaluated the color stability, surface roughness, and hardness of 3D-printed and heat-polymerized denture materials. A total of 90 samples were prepared, with equal numbers of 3D-printed and heat-polymerized disks. The initial hardness, surface roughness, and color values of the samples were measured.
