Abstract :The aim of this study is to evaluate the color stability, translucency and hardness of eight different composite resins, after thermal cycling and immersion in beverages. Six light-cured dimethacrylate-based composite insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Clearfil Majesty Esthetic, Clearfil Majesty Posterior, Grandio, Grandio Flow, Arabesk Top, Valux Plus);, an ormocer insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Admira); and a silorane-based composite insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Filtek Silorane); were tested in this study. Fifteen samples insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(8x2 mm); from each composite were prepared. All samples were subjected to thermal cycling [insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(5.0 ± 0.5);~insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(55.0 ± 1.0); °C, 1000 cycles]. After thermal cycling, fifteen specimens in each group were divided into three subgroups insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n = 5);: distilled water insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(control);, coffee, and red wine at 37°C for 30 days. With a spectrophotometer, the △E and Translucency Parameter insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TP); were calculated against white and black backgrounds. Color, translucency and hardness of all samples were remeasured baseline, after thermal cycles and after immersion in beverages. The data were analyzed using repeated measured analysis of variance and Bonferroni multiple-comparison test insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P 3.3);. The effect of thermal cycles on color and transluceny was not statistically significant insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P>0.05);. TP values generally decreased especially after immersion in red wine insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P<0.05);. Hardness values were varied among composite resins but generally decreased after thermal cycles and immersion especially in red wine. Thermal cycling and immersion in beverages caused to decrease in hardness values for composite materials. Because of negative effects on color and translucency, it should be noted especially red wine consumption.
