These composites are intended for the reconstruction of lost hard tooth tissues. The aim of the work was to evaluate the color stability of a flow composite containing hydroxyapatite, fluorine, and silver fillers after artificial thermal, chemical, and a combination of thermal and chemical aging processes. The samples were prepared from a commercial flow-type composite material (Arkona Flow Art, Niemcy, Poland) color A2 VITA (Vita Classical, Vita Zahnfabrick, Bad Sackingen, Germany) original and a modified composite material containing a filler additive of 2 wt.% hydroxyapatite powder containing fluorine (calcium fluoride) and nanosilver (n = 15). An Optishade (Style Italiano, Italy) colorimeter was used to measure color against a black background. Samples were submitted to thermal aging (T) using thermocycling equipment; to chemical aging (C) by immersion on artificial saliva at pH7, 37 \u00b0C; and to constant agitation or thermal\u2013chemical aging using a combination of the previous two methods. The modified composite showed reduced color differences compared to the original composite. The results also show that thermal aging has a stronger influence on \u0394E increase than chemical and combined aging, but only for the modified composite. Cumulative aging processes had an influence below the acceptability threshold for the modified composite.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/app152312426","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,24]],"date-time":"2025-11-24T09:02:07Z","timestamp":1763974927000},"page":"12426","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Color Stability of a Composite Containing Hydroxyapatite, Fluorine, and Silver Fillers After Artificial Aging"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6899-9098","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zofia","family":"Kula","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dental Technology, Medical University of Lodz, 251 Pomorska Street, 92-213 Lodz, Poland"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4327-1372","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cristina Bettencourt","family":"Neves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Institute for Medicine (iMed.ULisboa), Faculdade de Farm\u00e1cia, Universidade de Lisboa, 1649-003 Lisbon, Portugal"},{"name":"Dental Biomaterials Research Group (BIOMAT), Biomedical and Oral Sciences Research Unit (UICOB), Faculdade de Medicina Dent\u00e1ria, Universidade de Lisboa, 1600-277 Lisbon, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8498-5892","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ana","family":"Bettencourt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Institute for Medicine (iMed.ULisboa), Faculdade de Farm\u00e1cia, Universidade de Lisboa, 1649-003 Lisbon, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Sara","family":"Oliveira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dental Biomaterials Research Group (BIOMAT), Biomedical and Oral Sciences Research Unit (UICOB), Faculdade de Medicina Dent\u00e1ria, Universidade de Lisboa, 1600-277 Lisbon, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Jo\u00e3o Carlos","family":"Roque","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dental Biomaterials Research Group (BIOMAT), Biomedical and Oral Sciences Research Unit (UICOB), Faculdade de Medicina Dent\u00e1ria, Universidade de Lisboa, 1600-277 Lisbon, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"103771","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jdent.2021.103771","article-title":"The impact of tooth colour on the perceptions of age and social judgements","volume":"112","author":"Newton","year":"2021","journal-title":"J.
