Influence of salivary PH in color stability of different flowable resins: In vitro study by Andrea Mejía, Víctor Montaño, Andrés Viteri, Ana Armas

“…Materials and methods: An experimental, comparative and in vitro study is proposed using 90 discs made from two fluid resin markings of 10mm diameter and 1mm thickness, light-cured using the same lamp, after being immersed in distilled water and made a first registration color using Easy-shade digital colorimeter, the samples were divided into three groups and in turn into three subgroups, becoming submerged in artificial saliva with different pH of 5, 6 and 7 respectively for 7 days, making a new color taking by digital colorimeter, later the samples were submerged in beet juice as a pigmenting agent for 24 hours, after this period they were washed to eliminate pigment residues and made a third color take. …”
