Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Objective: This study intended to analyze and evaluate the color stability of intracoronal restorations (Cention N, Giomer, and composite) when exposed to various Indian foods and beverages like sambhar, chole masala, orange carbonated drink, and milk with Bournvita in primary teeth. Materials and methods: = 20) according to the restorative materials: Cention N, Giomer, and composite. Each material was further dipped in five immersion solutions, namely sambhar, chole masala, orange carbonated drink, milk with Bournvita, and artificial saliva (control). The color was assessed using a Vita Easy Shade Advance spectrophotometer before immersion and after immersion on the 7th, 30th, and 60th day. The data collected were analyzed statistically. Results: < 0.001). Conclusion: Giomer restorative material was tested to be the most color stable, whereas sambhar solution displayed the maximum staining. Clinical significance: Due to the increasing demand for esthetic needs in pediatric patients because of social media influence, it becomes of utmost importance to provide color-stable dental restorations to pediatric patients in India, especially due to the various ingredients used in food items that can cause discoloration of dental restorations.
