Effect of Different pH Beverages on the Color Stability of Smart Monochromatic Composite

Omnichroma is a smart monochromatic material and believed to attain the shade of surrounding tooth structure in which it placed. However, color stability this unknown. Therefore, study was conducted evaluate effect different pH beverages on composite its comparison with micro-hybrid resin. Sixty extracted human maxillary premolars shades, viz. A2, A3, B2 B3, were selected equal numbers. A Class V cavity prepared buccal palatal sides each tooth. After preparation, etching performed 35% phosphoric acid followed by bonding. The cavities then filled resin side Filtek Z250 side. baseline measurements all samples spectrophotometer. teeth divided into three groups, Pepsi group, coffee group milk tea group. Five from shade, immersed 10-mL Pepsi, coffee, for 14 days. completion days, rinsed kept distilled water 24 h. Finally, spectrophotometer used calculate alteration value ΔE. Mean difference ΔE values before after immersion calculated analysed SPSS 25. One-way ANOVA test applied compare groups. Further stratification using Post-Hoc Tukeys test. Samples showed statistically significant (p < 0.05) shades OM-milk FT-milk In summary, colorants an apparent both composites. Hence, type should be wisely depending patient’s drinking social habits.
