Background: The aim of this study is to evaluate the pre and post-polymerization color differences, translucency parameters, and water sorption of the current resin composite materials. Methods: Three resin composites (Omnichroma, Tokuyama Dental, Tokyo, Japan; Essentia Universal, GC, Tokyo, Japan; Harmonize, Keer, Orange, CA, USA) were evaluated in the study. Twenty samples were prepared from each composite. In the evaluation of pre and post-polymerization color difference and translucency, color measurements were made from the upper surface of the samples with a spectrophotometer. Pre and post-polymerization color difference and translucency parameters were calculated. Water sorption analysis was performed according to ISO 4049. Statistical analysis was performed using the One-Way ANOVA, Tukey HSD, Tamhane T2 tests. (p<0.05) Results: In the color difference, the mean ΔE00 of the Omnichroma was significantly higher than the others and, the mean ΔE00 of the Essentia Universal composite was higher than Harmonize (pO-H:0.001; pO-E:0.001; pE-H:0.001; p<0.05). The translucency parameter of the Omnichroma was significantly higher than the others (pO-H:0.001; pO-E:0.001; p<0.05). The mean water sorption of the Harmonize was significantly higher than the others (pH-O:0.001; pH-E:0.001; p<0.05). Conclusion: Omnichroma and Essentia Universal showed an observable pre and post-polymerization color difference. It may be appropriate not to prefer Omnichroma in areas that need masking due to its high translucency feature. It can be said that the Harmonize showed a higher water sorption value than Omnichroma and Essentia Universal, and the content difference of the materials has an effect on the water sorption.
