Abstract

Aim: The study aims to compare the herbal products for color change in artificially stained teeth using a spectrophotometer. Materials and Method: Baseline color values of 40 randomly selected artificially stained premolars were obtained. The specimens were randomly divided into four groups of 10 teeth each. Group 1 (n-10)- Ananas comosus, group 2- Fragaria x ananassa, group 3- Apple cider vinegar, control group 4% to 30% hydrogen peroxide. The color difference was examined under spectrophotometer. Result: All the agents that have been tested showed a significant color change of which ananas comosus gives better result than Fragaria x ananassa. Conclusion: Within the limitations of the study. Ananas comosus whitens the teeth better than Fragaria x ananassa and apple cider vinegar but lesser than hydrogen peroxide.
