Predictability and outcome of titanium color after different surface modifications and anodic oxidation.
Dental materials journal(2022)
Abstract
To investigate the predictability and the outcome of surface modification techniques, including anodization. Four surface modification techniques were evaluated in this in-vitro study: sandblasting (S), polishing+anodizing (PA), sandblasting+anodizing (SA), polishing+etching+ anodizing (PEA). Color coordinates L*, a* and b* were collected using a spectroradiometer. Color differences between all groups were quantified by use of ΔE00. A possible influence of group membership was evaluated using 1-way ANOVA. Pair-wise inter-group comparisons were performed using post-hoc Tukey tests. PA specimens were the brightest and showed a pronounced yellowish and reddish hue. S and SA groups were significantly darker and predictability of outcome was higher compared to another groups. The most predictable surface treatment method is sandblasting. Anodizing techniques come along with the brightest and most chromatic color impression of the titanium.
