Abstract
PURPOSE: To evaluate the color match of single-shade resin composites before and after bleaching procedures, through instrumental and visual analyses. METHODS: ) were calculated and statistically analyzed (P < 0.05). Visual analysis was performed before and after tooth bleaching. RESULTS: (P < 0.05). Visual analysis reported excellent and very good grades (0 and 1, respectively), irrespective of the materials and timepoints. CONCLUSION: Data seem to indicate that single shade composites are able to shift their color when the surrounding tooth undergoes bleaching effects. Single-shade composites seem to achieve a good color match with the surrounding tooth structure, before and after professional bleaching.
