Comparative evaluation of color stability of bulk fill and flowable composite restorative materials after immersion in different Indian spices - An in vitro study

Introduction: Mercury containing dental amalgam restorations are being replaced with dental composites as the restorative materials of choice mainly because of their color stability. An ideal esthetic restorative material should mimic the natural tooth in all terms such as in color and surface texture. Colour stability is a crucial property that assesses the success or failure of restorative treatment. The aim of our study is to analyse the colour stability of bulk fill and flowable composite restorative materials before and after immersion in Indian spices, such as turmeric and chilli powder.
