Color of bulk ‐fill composite resin restorative materials

ConclusionPolymerization significantly changed the color of nanohybrid composite resin and bulk‐fill composite resins. AFX had the highest color change in distilled water. The color of tested bulk‐fill composite resins significantly changed after immersion in beverages and over time. Color change observed with the nanohybrid composite resin after 1 week was stable. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCEClinicians should keep in mind that tested composite resins may change color when exposed to water and significantly change color immediately after they are polymerized. In addition, the color change continues over time should the patient is a coffee and/or red wine consumer.
