Objectives: To examine the effects of different whitening agents on the color and translucency of different resin composites, in vitro. Material and methods: A total of 315 specimens (10.0x2.0 mm) were fabricated from two microhybrid (G-aenial anterior [G-Ant]) and (G-aenial posterior [G-Post]) and a nano hybrid (G-aenial A'CHORD [ G-ACH]) resin composites and each group was randomly distributed into seven experimental groups (n=15) as follows; 1-control (C); 2-in-office whitening agent (IOW); 3-at-home whitening agent (AHW); 4-prefilled tray (PT); 5-whitening pen (WP); 6-whitening toothpaste (WT) and 7-whitening mouthwash (WMW). The specimens were subjected to staining except control group before application of the different whitening procedures. The color of specimens was measured after 24 h (T-0), after staining (T-1) and after whitening (T-2). Color change [CIEDE2000 (C ' E-00)], translucency parameter (TP) values and changes in whiteness index (WID) were calculated. Data were analyzed statistically (p<0.05). Results: No significant WID differences were detected among the tested resin composites at T-0 and T-1 (p>0.05), whereas a significant difference was observed at T-2 (p<0.005). AHW and IOW produced higher color change than PT, WP, WT and WMR. Significant TP changes were found after the application of IOW and AHW in G-Ant. Conclusion: The effect of whitening products on the whitening index, color and translucency of resin composites are material and substrate dependent.
