Assessing how different liquids affect the color of acrylic denture teeth
Official title: Comparing the Color Stability of Acrylic Denture Teeth in Different Staining Solutions-In Vitro Experimental Trial
Run by Altamash Institute of Dental Medicine · NCT06074952 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests how different liquids like tea and coke change the color of acrylic denture teeth over time to see which ones cause the most staining.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are individuals requiring maxillary central incisor acrylic denture teeth with normal flat labial surfaces.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with posterior teeth, stained teeth, or fractured and worn-out teeth may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This study evaluates the color stability of acrylic denture teeth when immersed in various staining solutions, including tea, coke, turmeric, and honey. Two brands of acrylic denture teeth will be tested, with color measurements taken before immersion and at intervals of 7, 15, and 21 days post-immersion. The study aims to determine how these substances affect the color over time using a Portable Colorimeter for precise measurements. Three groups will be established: a control group and two study groups.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could help improve the longevity and aesthetic quality of acrylic dentures for patients.
How similar studies have gone: While similar studies have been conducted on color stability in dental materials, the use of honey as a staining agent is novel and untested.
