Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluated the surface roughness and color changes of various resin-based restorative materials after being immersed in liquids with different pH levels for 14 days.
  • Results showed that Carisma Diamond One had the highest surface roughness and color change, while Omnichroma Flow Bulk had the lowest, with coffee and cola significantly influencing color changes.
  • The findings emphasize the importance for clinicians and patients to be aware that these materials can alter in surface properties and color due to exposure to acidic or pigmented beverages.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to compare the biocompatibility of two different resin composites after polymerization under two different light sources in three different time periods.

Materials And Methods: 72 polyethylene tubes polymerized with 2 different resin composites and 2 different light sources (Elipar S10 and Valo ) [Group 1: Kalore Elipar S10 (KE), Group 2: Kalore Valo (KV), Group 3: Essentia Elipar S10 (EE), Group 4: Essentia Valo (EV)] were implanted in the dorsal connective tissue of 18 rats. 24 empty polyethylene tubes [Group 5: (Control group)] were implanted in the dorsal connective tissue of 6 rats.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the microhardness, relative surface roughness, and elemental changes of resin-based dental restorative materials (RDRMs) after gastric acid treatment. Five different RDRMs (Group 1 [Filtek Z550], Group 2 [Beautifil II], Group 3 [Vertise Flow], Group 4 [Dyract XP], Group 5 [Fuji II LC]) were used. Samples were formed by using plexiglass molds of 10 mm diameter and 2 mm thickness.
