Purpose: To
investigate the temperature changes in the primary teeth pulp chambers during
the curing of different colored compomers
Methods:
Five extracted primary mandibular second molars were prepared with class II
cavities. Gold, blue, green, berry, and tooth (control group) colored compomers
were tested in two steps (aproximal and occlusal). Measurement of pulp chamber
temperature changes during curing was performed with a J type thermocouple. The
data including differences between the highest and initial temperature values
were recorded and analyzed by two-way ANOVA and Mann-Whitney U tests
Results:
There
were statistically significant differences temperature changes in groups (p<
0.05). Gold colored compomer showed the highest temperature increase in both
proximal and occlusal surfaces. Tooth colored compomer(A2) showed the lower
temperature increase. The temperature increase in aproximal cavities was found
to be higher than the temperature increase in occlusal cavities.
Conclusions:
Colored
compomer can be an alternative restorative materials in superficial class I and
II cavities in primary teeth. Dark coloured compomers should be used in deep
cavities.
