The purpose of this research was study the effect of autoclave on dental shade guide. Materials and methods: This experimental experiment was experimental and done on 20 dental paints guide (vitaA3). Subsequently, they were divided into 2 groups color guide by randomly. First, all specimens were washed Before placing in the autoclave Distilled for 3 minutes and they were dry with a tissue and they went on to the autoclave, of course The first group is at 121 °C for 40 minutes and the second group was kept at 134 °C for 10 minutes. These specimens were placed in an autoclave with 180 cycles and3 times a day, 5 days a week (equivalent to 3 months). At each stage set the Spectrophotometer color Indicators (abl) and Guide the color of the teeth. Statistical analysis was performed in SPSS software and in the way of Mann-Whitney. Results: Mean in the group with a temperature of 121 degrees was 3.79 ± 0.63 and in the group with a temperature of 134 degrees, it was 3.55 ± 1.04 which are not significant. According to the statistical test, there is a difference (P <0.3). About b and c index, difference were minor and no significant difference was observed in the case of other measured indicators, L, a, H in the two groups.(P<0.2). The color change was more than 3.3 for both method and not acceptable related to clinical subjects. (3.55 and 3.79) Conclusion: In this study, it was observed that sterilization process by autoclave, can lead to change the color properties of the classic VITA color guide.
