title: Color stability of fluoride-containing restorative materials.
abstract: Six fluoride-releasing materials of shade A3 were tested: one glass ionomer (Fuji IX), one resin-modified glass ionomer (Photac-Fil), two compomers (F 2000 and Dyract AP) and two composites (Tetric Ceram and Solitaire). Disk-shaped specimens of each material were prepared according to manufacturer's instructions, polished and L*a*b* baseline measurements taken. Specimens were randomly divided into two groups and given four different treatments of UV light exposure and immersion in a staining solution. Chromo Meter color measurements were taken following each treatment. Two-way ANOVA and Duncan Multiple Range post-hoc tests were used to compare color changes as a function of the four treatment conditions and one-way ANOVA was used to compare materials for each treatment separately. The results showed significant difference in shade A3 between products. In general, the hydrophobic materials showed greater color stability and stain resistance than the hydrophilic materials. Tetric ceram had the best color stability and stain resistance, while Fuji IX had the least.
