Introduction: The growing demand for esthetic dental procedures has resulted in the increased development of new restorative composite resins. The success of composite resin restorations depends on their color stability over time. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of 0.2% chlorhexidine (CHX) and re-polishing on the color stability of nanofilled composite re...

OBJECTIVES To study the color stability of dental composite resins using a thermocycling stain challenge model accounting for the complex effects of oral environment and tooth brushing. METHODS Composite resin discs were made from Filtek Supreme Ultra (FiltekSU), TPH3 and Renamel, and subjected to thermocycling challenges in warm coffee (55 °C/pH 5.2) and a cold tea and fruit juice mixtures (...

Introduction: The color stability of composite resins is a fundamental factor in their clinical behavior. Objective: To evaluate the color stability of composite resins of different colors exposed to a colabased soft drink after different storage periods. Additionally, three methacrylate-based materials and one silorane-based material were evaluated. Material and methods: Specimens of three met...

Because of the school study and declining of playground, children in modern society have no time to stay with their parents and they are contacting with the game frequently. The game graphics can give significant impact via visual information and interaction to immature child. Game graphic using color psychology and color therapy technique make children stable, positive and have healthy ego. Th...

The present study was conducted to determine the repeatability of color stability measurements and to evaluate relationships among color stability data collected under differing sampling and aging protocols. Beef (Bos taurus) carcasses (n = 100) were selected at grading in a commercial facility, after which a LM steak was removed from the 13th rib of each carcass and immediately placed in simul...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the Shore A hardness and color stability of two soft lining materials after thermocycling and when chemical polishing was used or omitted. Two acrylic-based soft lining materials were tested: Coe-Soft and Soft Confort, 14 specimens were made for each material. They were distributed in four groups according to the treatment performed. The specimens were ther...
