Water sorption of gingiva-shade composites and its influence on color stability
All the tested composites exhibited favorable values for water sorption<sup>.</sup> Over the studied period, water immersion produced a negligible change in color among all the tested specimens. All composites exhibited changes in color when exposed to food colorants with the largest relative change occurring for immersion in curry. There was no positive correlation between water sorption values and change in color.
