%X Maxillofacial prosthesis should restore the appearance to near normal so that the affected person should have a normal mental status as well as quality of life. The longevity of any kind of maxillofacial silicone prosthesis is determined by its color and mechanical properties. To systematically assess the current published literature on the stability of  color of maxillofacial silicone materials after 10 minutes of disinfection and aging, a literature search on PubMed and Google Scholar was done from January 2000 to December 2020 on the stability of color of maxillofacial silicone materials after disinfection and aging. In addition, a hand search was performed through standard dental journals for the years 2000 to 2020 using the keywords; color stability and maxillofacial silicone, maxillofacial silicone and disinfection, maxillofacial silicone, and aging. A total of 52 studies were recognized and 6 in vitro studies were appended for this systematic review. The color stability of maxillofacial silicone materials was affected by disinfection and aging procedure.
