Staining resistance of preheated flowable composites to drinking pigmented beverages

    Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the influence of the preheating of flowable compositeresins on the color stability when exposed to drinking pigmented beverages. Methods: Wave (SDI) and Tetric N-Flow (Ivoclar Vivadent) were used. One hundred andtwenty specimens (n = 10) were photo activated at different temperat...
