This study evaluated the color stability of a polyacid-modified composite (compomer) upon exposure to stains. Five disks were prepared for immersion in each of five stains: coffee, chlorhexidine, cola, red wine, and water as a control. Color measurements were made on a reflection spectrophotometer at baseline, after 24-hour incubation, and after 24, 48, and 72 hour immersion in each stain. At 24 hours, perceptible color changes occurred for specimens in red wine and coffee. After 48 hours, perceptible color changes occurred for specimens in cola. Chlorhexidine and water caused no perceptible color changes. A compomer is susceptible to staining by coffee, red wine, and cola.
