Evaluation of color stability of two different posterior tooth colored restorative

The use of tooth-colored restorative materials has been on the rise in the recent times. Patient awareness and improvement in the properties of composite materials have led the clinicians to use these materials, even in the posterior regions. But strength and other properties like staining have remained as a challenge with the newer materials that are being introduced.Recently developed esthetic materials like Cention N and Solare Sculpt have been reported to have improved properties for use as posterior restorative material. One important aspect of esthetic restorative materials is color. Thus the aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the color stability of esthetic restorative materials (Cention N, Solare Sculpt) after exposure to different staining solutions (coffee, green tea and Diet Coke).
