title: In vitro color change of composite-based resins.
abstract: The adsorption of staining materials to resin restoratives was considered to be influenced by the physico-chemical properties of the resin-based monomers. To study the effects of the surface characteristics of resins on staining, we prepared five visible-light-cured experimental resins without fillers. Staining of these resins was colorimetrically measured. The staining solutions used were the Oil Orange and the Food Red 3 solutions. With the Oil Orange solution, the materials with higher hydrophobicity showed higher staining. With the Food Red 3 solution, the materials with higher water sorption showed higher staining.
