COMPARISON OF EFFECT OF DIFFERENT FLUORIDE GELS ON SURFACE ROUGHNESS OF RESIN MATERIALS
Abstract :
Objective: Application of acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF) gels has long been considered to cause deterioration of composite surfaces. The aims of this study were to demonstrate that if two different APF gels and a neutral gel affected the resin based restorative surfaces. Material and Methods: Acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF) agents (Topex 60 sec. and Topex Foam) and 1 neutral fluoride agent (Topex Neutral) were analyzed. Subsequently, 120 specimens of 3 composites (Herculite XRV; Grandio and Supreme XT) and polyacid modified composite resin (Dyract Extra) with 30 specimens for each composite were randomly divided into 3 groups (n = 10) and treated with 3 fluoride gels. Surface roughness was measured after treatments. Results: According to oneway ANOVA there is no statistical difference between surface roughness of resin materials treated with different APF gel applications (p .05). Conclusion: Fluoride gels could change surface characteristics of resin. Because of that reason clinicians must have information about application time, methods and pH levels of fluoride gels and make their decision about usage of fluoride gels towards this knowledge.
