Effect of Coffee on Color Stability and Surface Roughness of Newly Introduced Single Shade Resin Composite Materials.

Abstract Background Dentists started to follow the era of using single shade resin composite restorations to avoid color shade selection. Our study was done to evaluate and compare color stability of two single shade resin composite materials. Methods sixty samples were randomly allocated into two main groups (n = 30) according to the composite resin used: Group O: (Omnichroma) samples and Group V: (Venus Peral) samples. Each group was then divided into two subgroups (n = 15): group O1 and V1: samples immersed in coffee. Group O2 and V2: samples immersed in distilled water. Color changes (Δ E) and roughness values (Ra) were evaluated at baseline, 1st, and 14th days of immersion. Color change was assessed using Vita Easy Shade V while surface roughness was assessed using, profilometer and Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), respectively. Data were collected and statistically analyzed using two-way variance analysis (ANOVA) and Tukeys post-hoc test (p < 0.05). Results Group O1 and V1 recorded the highest Δ E (P = 0.0002, 0.001, respectively) and Ra values (P < 0.001) no significant difference between both materials at 14 days Conclusion Single shade resin composite with smart chromatic material technology has dramatically color change and surface roughness that sacrifice esthetic success.
