Objective: This study was conducted to determine the color change and surface roughness of a nanohybrid, a microhybrid, an indirect composite resin and human central incisor teeth after the application of fluoride varnish (FV) and casein phosphopeptide- amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP). Materials-Methods: Twenty-four specimens were fabricated from each composite material (Nova Compo C, Gradia Direct, Solidex and teeth) by using a teflon mold (7 mm diameter and 2 mm thickness). Initial (T0) color measurements were made on the non-reflective white surface of the composite resin materials (Nova Compo C, Gradia Direct, Solidex) and teeth with a spectrophotometer (Vita Easyshade V) and initial surface roughness (Ra) values were measured with a mechanical contact profilometer (Mituto...
