Color Stability of Resin Composites Immersed for Different Durations in Alcohol-Based and Alcohol-Free Mouthwashes: An In Vitro Study
In this <i>in vitro</i> study, all evaluated resin composites showed color variation exceeding the clinically accepTable threshold. Filtek Z350XT was the most susceptible to color change following exposure to alcohol-based mouthwashes, while Tetric N-Ceram showed a significant increase in color variation between 24 hours and 7 days. These findings suggest that the presence of alcohol in mouthwashes could negatively affect the color stability of certain resin composites. <b>Key words:</b>Nanohybrid composite, comparative study, dental materials, resin composite, mouthwashes.
