Abstract
The purpose of the present research was to assess the effect of three different fresh detox juices on the color stability of the resin composite with three different adhesive systems. Disc-shaped resin composite specimens were prepared. Composite discs were randomly divided into 3 subgroups according to the adhesive system (Adper EasyOne, BondForce, Clearfil QuickBond), adhesive system was applied to the upper surfaces of the composite discs according to the manufacturer`s instructions. The first color measurements were made with a spectrophotometer after the composite discs were kept in water for 24 hours. Samples in each group were divided into 4 subgroups according to the immersion solution (n=10; brands, water). The samples, which were kept in respective detox juices, were kept for 10 minutes twice a day, at other times they were kept in distilled water. Second color measurements were performed 30 days later. Data were analyzed with two-way ANOVA and Tukey HSD tests. According to the two-way analysis of variance, the adhesive system does not affect the color change significantly (p=0.773), but the detox juices has a significant effect on the color change (p=0.01). Fresh detox juices may adversely affect the color stability of adhesive systems, regardless of their color, but this effect may not be expected to be clinically observable.
