The aim of this study was to evaluate discoloration susceptibility of two Nanofilled and Micro hybrid composites by coffee and tea. Materials and Methods: This experimental study was carried out on 30 composite specimens of Point 4 and Premise. The specimens were divided in 6 groups (n=5) .After primary color measurement by spectrophotometer the specimens were stored in distilled water ,coffee and tea for one week and then the color was measured . Color changes (ΔE) were calculated. The data were analyzed by Two –way ANOVA,student T-test and Post Hoc Tukey test. Results: The color change in both medius was significant for both composite groups. The effect of coffee and tea on discoloration of two composites was significant (P<0.05) .There was no significant difference between the color change of the two composites. Also there was no significant Conclusion: Color changes of two composites point 4 and Premise by tea and coffee were clinically significant. Key words : Nanofilled composite, Micro hybrid composite, Point4, premise discoloration, tea, coffee |
