Using a prefabricated Teflon mold, 120 specimens were divided into four groups fn - 30), according to the resin tested. Three subgroups (a = 10) were prepared for each resin group; these subgroups tested enamel shade, dentin shade, and enamel and dentin shade. Three measurements were performed to verily whether the tooth shade matched that of the Vita Classical Shade Guide. The color was evaluated and the shade variations were calculated. The data were submitted to a three-way AN OVA test (time, color match, and composite type), followed by Tukey's test. It was concluded that all composite resins showed color differences in relation to the Vita Classical Shade Guide.engbiomedical and dental materialsresinwaterchemistrycolorcomparative studydentinenamelhumaninstrumentationmaterials testingpolymerizationprosthesisstandardtemperaturetimetooth prosthesisColorComposite ResinsDental EnamelDental MaterialsDental Prosthesis DesignDentinHumansMaterials TestingPolymerizationProsthesis ColoringTemperatureTime FactorsWaterArtigoAcesso restrito2-s2.0-7795798070517540206528748500000-0003-4830-0400
