Abstract: This study deals with the influence of surface roughness on the color of resin composites. Ten resin composites (microfilled, hybrid, and microhybrid) were each polished with 500-grit, 1200-grit, 2000-grit, and 4000-grit SiC papers. The roughness parameter (R_a) was measured using a Plμ confocal microscope, and field-emission scanning electron microscope (Fe-SEM) images were used to investigate filler morphology. Color was measured using a spectroradiometer and a D65 standard illuminant (geometry diffuse/0° specular component excluded (SCE) mode). Surface roughness decreased with grit number and was not influenced by filler size or size distribution. A significant influence of R_a on lightness (L^*) was found. Lightness increased with decreases in roughness, except for specimens that underwent polishing procedure 4 (PP4; 500-grit, 1200-grit, 2000-grit, and 4000-grit SiC papers consecutively). Generally, it was found that surface roughness influenced the color of resin composites. The composites that underwent PP1 (500-grit SiC paper) exhibited significant differences in chroma (C^*), hue (h°), and lightness (L^*) compared to composites that underwent PP3 (500-grit, 1200-grit, and 2000-grit SiC papers consecutively) and PP4. Color difference (∆E^*) between the polishing procedures was within acceptability thresholds in dentistry.
