Evaluation of Direct Light Transmittance of Different Color Compomers during Polymerization: A Radiometric Study

Abstract

Objective: The thickness and color of the compomer resin can affect the transmission of light used in polymerization. The aim of this study was to evaluate the direct light transmittance of the same brand different color tone compomer resins during polymerization. Materials and Methods: For this purpose, A2, A3, A3,5, A4, B3 and C2 color Glasiosite caps compomers (Voco, Germany) were used. For each color group, 10 samples in the form of cylinders, 2 mm thick and 8 mm diameter were prepared. The direct light transmittance of the samples polymerized with a single light device (Woodpecker Led G, China) was measured with a digital radiometer (SDI, Australia) at the 1st, 5th, 10th, 15th and 20th seconds. Data were analyzed using Duncan multiple comparison test. Results: The lowest direct light transmittance value was observed in C2 color compomers in first second, and the highest direct light transmittance value was observed in A2 color compomers in 20th seconds. Direct light transmittance values were found to be similar in A2, A3 and B3 groups. Conclusion: Different shade compomers with the same thickness and manufacturer have different direct light transmittance values and color pigments used in compomer resins affect the direct light transmission values.
