Abstract :Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the time-dependent changes in optical properties of recent tooth-colored restorative materials in commonly used coloring beverages. Method: A total of 200 specimens of four different materials insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Alkasite, ACTIVA, Equia Forte, Zirconomer); and a composive material as the control group were prepared in Teflon molds and the materials were immersed in four different solutions insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(coffee, cola, ice tea and saliva); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=10);. Color measurements were performed with a spectrophotometer at baseline, 7, 14 and 28 days. Color changes, translucency parameters insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TP); and contrast ratios of the materials were calculated. The data were analyzed by repeated measurements and three-way ANOVA and post hoc Tukey tests. Results: Alkasite showed the greatest color change for all solutions in all immersion periods compared to other materials insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.001);. The experimented solutions caused a perceptible color change in all materials after 28 days insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.05);. Coffee and ice tea caused more staining of resin-based materials for all immersion periods insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.05);. Initial TP and ∆TP of glass ionomer-based materials were found to be lower than the resin-based materials. Conclusion: Exposure of the recent materials to different solutions for a certain period of time caused significant changes in optical properties. Resin-based alkasite, ACTIVA and composite showed the highest change the optical properties in coffee and ice tea.
