Background: To compare the color stabilities of wMTA Angelus,Biodentine, EndoSequence Root Repair Material, and BIO MTA+.Calcium silicate-based materials in response to the exposure todifferent irrigation solutions.Methods: Four groups of materials (4 samples in each) wereinvolved in the present study. Each of materials washomogenously mixed and placed in each container.After thesetting time, all of the samples colors before the contact withsolutions were determined by using a spectrophotometer. Thenone sample from each material was kept in each of 4 irrigationsolutions for 24 hours: distilled water, 5.25% NaOCl, 2%chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX] and 17%ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA]. At the end of this period,the samples were taken out of the solutions and the colormeasurements were repeated.Results: Among all the materials, the discoloration of distilledwater group was found to be the lowest at statistically significantlevel. The highest level of discoloration of Biodentine wasobserved in CHX, whereas the highest discoloration of wMTAAngelus was found in NaOCl. The maximum discoloration of ESwas found after the exposure to EDTA, followed by thediscoloration of BIO MTA exposed to NaOCl.Conclusion: Biodentine and wMTA Angelus may be used byclinicians as an alternative when the esthetic concerns playdominant role
