Assessing how different liquids affect the color of acrylic denture teeth
Comparing the Color Stability of Acrylic Denture Teeth in Different Staining Solutions-In Vitro Experimental Trial
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.

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.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are individuals requiring maxillary central incisor acrylic denture teeth with normal flat labial surfaces.
Not a fit: Patients with posterior teeth, stained teeth, or fractured and worn-out teeth may not benefit from this study.
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 performed: While similar studies have been conducted on color stability in dental materials, the use of honey as a staining agent is novel and untested.
