Purpose: The aim of this study was the evaluation of the color and opacity stability of Ideal Makoo (IDM) composites and compare it with Tetric ceram. 
Material and methods: Fifteen disk shaped samples of each material was divided into three groups of five. Different aging treatments were applied to each group. The contrast ratio of 1mm thickness and &#xF072;E of the samples were evaluated at base line and after aging, using CIE system and Data Flash spectrophotometer. All the samples were kept at 37&#xF0B0;C. 
Results: Baseline opacity of IDM was relatively high (77.60%&#xF0B1;8.6). Both materials showed increased opacity after aging. The highest &#xF072;E belonged to IDM samples of B group, which was significantly more than Tetric Ceram (P</abstract>
