Abstract

The use of dental composites materials requires their finishing and polishing of the composite materials in the final preparation step. We studied the modifications of color of the dental composites when immersed in different solutions on both matte and glossy surfaces. The values of ΔE show that the color modifications of dental composite samples between different roughness surfaces depend on time, solution and material. This knowledge is important to the clinician for the selection of restorative material for the management of patients who have the habit of drinking of wine or other colored drinks..
