The aim of this this study was to evaluate the surface roughness and color stability of resin composites (RCs) with color adjustment potential (CAP): Omnichroma (OM), (Tokuyama Dental, Tokyo, Japan); Neo Spectra ST (NS) (Dentsply Sirona, York, PA,USA); and Charisma Diamond One (CD) (Kulzer, Hanau, Germany), compared to a conventional RC, Filtek Z350XT (FZ) (3M ESPE, St. Paul, MN,USA), after immersion in three staining solutions, cola, coffee, and black tea, with distilled water as a control. Forty specimens (8 mm diameter x 2 mm thickness) were prepared for each RC material and divided into subgroups (n=10/group) based on the immersion solution. Surface roughness was measured at baseline and after 21 days of immersion using a non-contact optical profilometer. Color change (ΔE00) was evaluated at baseline, 1, 7, and 21 days with a spectrophotometer.

The results showed that FZ demonstrated the lowest surface roughness (0.14), significantly differing from that of the other RCs with CAP (p<0.05), while no significant differences in surface roughness were observed between RCs with CAP (p>0.05). There were no significant changes in surface roughness before and after immersion in various solutions. The results for color change (ΔE00) were statistically significant. Neo Spectra ST showed the lowest tendency for color change, while Filtek Z350XT displayed a moderate potential, and Omnichroma and Charisma Diamond One showed the highest potential for color change.
