ABSTRACT
PURPOSE
: The purpose of this study was to assess the
colour stability of three different composites under various
staining solutions
METHOD
: 100 disks (3mm thick and 10mm in diameter)
were prepared from three types of composites: (1) Micro
hybrid composites (2) Nano composites (3) Hybrid
composites. After polishing and obtaining the baseline data,
they were equally divided into 4 groups and immersed into 1
of 4 liquids at 37 degree Celsius, (1)Fanta (2) Bournvita (3)
Grape Juice (4) Distilled Water. After 1week, 1 month, 2
months they were measured for colour change. Colour
difference
of
each
specimen
were
measured
by
spectrophotometer.
RESULT
: The datas were compiled, and statistical analysis
were performed, using one –way ANOVA and Tukey – HSD
procedure at 5%significant level.
CONCLUSION
: The results of the study indicated that
Nanocomposite is more stain resistant when compared to
other 2 composite resins. Maximum staining was present in
Grape juice followed by Bournvita, Fanta, and Distilled
Water over an extended period of time.
