Abstract:
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the colour stability of three laminate veneer materials against to tea, coffee and cigarette smoke. 72 discs prepared by using two different type composite materials and a dental porcelain were divided into groups and immersed into distilled water, tea, Turkish coffee solutions. The last group was exposed to cigarette smoke. Colour differences were measured by colorimeter at the beginning and then in the period of 1 day, 1 week and 1 month respectively. As a result, it was found that cigarette smoke was the most staining agent, porcelain material was the most colour stable material, and indirect composite material was more colour stable than the direct one.

The simplest type of preparation is the wet mount, in which the specimen is placed in a drop of liquid on the slide. A liquid specimen can be directly deposited on the slide using a dropper. Solid specimens, such as skin scraping, can be placed on the slide before adding a drop of liquid to prepare the wet mount. Sometimes the liquid is simply water, but stains are often added...
