RESUMO

The objective of this work was to evaluate in vitro the abrasion resistance, the superficial microhardness and the color stability of acrylic resin artificial teeth. Seven groups (1-Biolux, 2 - Trilux, 3 - Blue Dent, 4 - Biocler, 5 - Orthosit-Vivodent, 6 - Postaris-Antaris, 7 - Gnathostar-Ivostar), composed of 12 upper premolar for each manufacturers, being 6 against metallic antagonists (Ni-Cr) and 6 against indirect resin (Solidex) antagonists, were delineated in a perfilometer, before and after the abrasion test. The linear difference between the first and the second readings was measured with a digital calliper (0,01mm precision). After the statistical analysis (variance analysis, Tukey-Kramers test, p<0.05), it was observed that there were significant differences among the groups and that the trademark Postaris presented the smallest wear values against both antagonists (R=2,33±0,91µm and M=1,78±0,42µm). For Vickers superficial microhardness, 6 lateral upper incisors of each mark and 3 readings were used (incisal, medium, and cervical thirds) done with the microdurometer. The averages of Vickers superficial microhardness were submitted to the statistical analysis (p<0.05) and the obtained results show that the group Biolux (22,1±0,91VHN) followed by Antaris (21,9±1,58VHN), Ivostar (21,1±0,98VHN) and Biocler (21,0±1,80VHN) presented higher values, differing from Vivodent (19,1±0,99VHN) and Blue Dent (18,9±1,54VHN), less harders. For the color stability test 6 upper right central incisors of each commercial mark were used (n=42), submitted to the accelerated artificial aging process. The apparel for color reading was a Portable Spectruncolorimeter Model Color Guide 45/0 (BYK-Gardner, Germany). Each tooth had his color read before and immediately after the artificial aging. The ΔE values were submitted to the statistical analysis with JMP 5.1 (HEALTHY Institute, USA) software and show that significant differences were found among the groups and that only Blue Dent (4,37±0,32) presented clinically unacceptable values of ΔE (ΔE>3.3). For the groups that had clinically acceptable color alterations, the Antaris/Postaris group had the largest color variation (ΔE=2.73±0.96) and the Biolux group presented to smallest color variation (ΔE=1.39±0.27). Within the limitations of the methodology, was concluded that the antagonist (metal or resin) influence the choice of the artificial tooth, and that the tested artificial teeth have different behaviors for the abrasion resistance, superficial microhardness and color stability.
