Purpose:The aim of this study was to evaluate
the effects of 4 mouth rinses on the color
stability of two different resin composites.
Materials and Methods:A2 shade sonic-activated
bulk fill material SonicFill (Kerr) and conventional
nanohybrid composite Filtek Z550 (3M ESPE) were
used. Forty disc-shaped specimens (10 mm x 2 mm)
were fabricated for both composites and finished
using 400-grit SiC paper and polished. After polishing
and immersing in distilled water for 24h all specimens
were subjected to color measurements. The baseline
color values (L*, a*, b*) of each specimen were
measured with a colorimeter. Following baseline
measurement each composite group was divided into
5 groups: Oral-B Pro Expert Clinic Line Alcoholfree
(Oral-B) group, Listerine Tooth Defense
Rinse (Listerine) group, Pharmol Zn Mouth rinse
(Çözümilaç) group, Nilera Mouth rinse (Nilera) group
and Distilled water (control) group. The specimens
were incubated in mouth rinses (20 ml) at 37°C for 12
hours and subjected to color measurement. Two-way
ANO VA was used for statistical analysis (p<0.05).
Results:SonicFill showed significantly higher
discoloration when exposed to Oral-B Pro Expert
Clinic Line Alcohol-free, Listerine Tooth Defense Rinse
and Pharmol Zn Mouth rinse. The color differences
of two resin composites were not statistically
significant for distilled water and Nilera Mouth rinse.Conclusion:Within the limits of this study it can be
concluded that the SonicFill showed higher discoloration
than nanohybrid resin composite Filtek Z550.
