Color Stability of Tooth-Colored Restorative Materials After Exposure to Arabic Coffee and Black Tea: A Systematic Review.
Review in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The aesthetic longevity of tooth-colored restorative materials, such as composite resins and glass ionomer cements (GICs), is a significant concern in dentistry, particularly due to their susceptibility to discoloration from dietary substances. This systematic review aims to evaluate the color stability of these materials after exposure to two commonly consumed beverages in Saudi Arabia: Arabic coffee and black tea. The review focuses on the degree of color change (ΔE) and identifies the materials most resistant to staining. A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases using keywords related to color stability, tooth-colored restorative materials, and staining agents. After screening 178 articles, eight studies met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed. The findings revealed that composite resins, particularly nanohybrid composites, were the most prone to discoloration, with ΔE values ranging from 3.5 to 9.2 for Arabic coffee and 3.0 to 8.7 for black tea. In contrast, GICs and resin-modified glass ionomers (RMGICs) demonstrated better color stability, with ΔE values ranging from 2.1 to 5.5. The hydrophilic nature and fluoride-releasing properties of GICs likely contributed to their resistance to staining. These results have clinical implications, suggesting that GICs and RMGICs may be better suited for patients with high consumption of staining beverages. Further research, particularly in vivo studies, is recommended to confirm these findings and explore additional factors that may influence the color stability of restorative materials in the oral environment.
