objective: selection of an appropriate shade of composite is critical in achieving an esthetic restoration. different systems are used to assess and describe color parameters. this study aimed to assess the effect of color and thickness of filtek supreme (fs) and premise (p) composite resins on correction of tooth discoloration.   methods: in this in vitro experimental study, 10 anterior teeth ...

color match between fiber-reinforced composite (frc) restorations and teeth is an imperative factor in esthetic dentistry. the purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence of veneering composites and fibers on the color change of frc restorations.glass and polyethylene fibers were used to reinforce a direct microhybrid composite (z250, 3m espe) and a microfilled composite (gradia indirect...

objectives: this study aimed to evaluate the effects of chlorhexidine mouthrinses on color stability of nanofilled and micro-hybrid resin-based composites. materials and methods: in this in-vitro study, 160 disc-shaped specimens (7x2mm) were fabricated of filtek z250 and filtek z350xt enamel (a2 shade). the samples of each group were randomly divided into eight subgroups (n=10). the specimens w...

objectives: color change of composite restorations is well known to dentists. however, the effect of commonly consumed drinks on discoloration of composite resins has yet to be determined. this study sought to assess the color change of a nanofilled (premise) and a flowable composite resin (premise flowable) following simulated consumption of tea, cola, iron drops and multivitamin syrup. materi...

This article reviews recent work on the perception of color in cases where color change leads to scission, or a perceived layering in depth of the visual field into chromatic processes. A model is proposed that predicts under what circumstances a layering in depth is perceived. The model takes into account shift in color and change in contrast; it helps to describe the colors and lightnesses of...

Many patients use household cleaners to clean denture which can cause discoloration and damage soft liners. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of household cleansers on the color change of two types of permanent soft liners. Methods: In this interventional study, 80 permanent silicone soft liners, including 40 heat-cured liners (Molloplast-B, Detax Gmbh & Co. ...

objective: to study the in vitro color changes of three dental resin veneering materials when immersed in tea, coffee and tamarind extracts. materials and methods: the color changes of heat polymerized tooth colored acrylic resin (stellondetrey, b, f14, dpi dental products of india ltd, mumbai), auto polymerized tooth colored acrylic resin (dpi, b, qv5, dpi dental products of india ltd, mumbai)...
