SUMMARY

The aim of this this study was to evaluate the surface roughness and color stability of resin composites (RCs) with color adjustment potential (CAP): Omnichroma (OM), (Tokuyama Dental, Tokyo, Japan); Neo Spectra ST (NS) (Dentsply Sirona, York, PA,USA); and Charisma Diamond One (CD) (Kulzer, Hanau, Germany), compared to a conventional RC, Filtek Z350XT (FZ) (3M ESPE, St. Paul, MN,USA), after immersion in three staining solutions, cola, coffee, and black tea, with distilled water as a control. Forty specimens (8 mm diameter x 2 mm thickness) were prepared for each RC material and divided into subgroups (n=10/group) based on the immersion solution. Surface roughness was measured at baseline and after 21 days of immersion using a non-contact optical profilometer. Color change (ΔE₀₀) was evaluated at baseline, 1, 7, and 21 days with a spectrophotometer.

The results showed that FZ demonstrated the lowest surface roughness (0.14), significantly differing from that of the other RCs with CAP (p<0.05), while no significant differences in surface roughness were observed between RCs with CAP (p>0.05). There were no significant changes in surface roughness before and after immersion in various solutions. The results for color change (ΔE₀₀) were statistically significant. Neo Spectra ST showed the lowest tendency for color change, while Filtek Z350XT displayed a moderate potential, and Omnichroma and Charisma Diamond One showed the highest potential for color change.
