Description
Summary:Material preferences of dental practitioners for the restoration of cavities shifted in favor of fluoride (F) releasing materials as F is a powerful therapeutic and preventive agent against dental caries. Thus, this in vitro study aimed to examine whether various tea solutions and bleaching have an effect on the color, surface roughness, and microhardness of F releasing restoratives. Cylindrical 48 specimens of 3 high viscosity restorative glass ionomers (GIs); Riva self-cure HV, Fuji Bulk, and Equia Forte Fil (named also as glass hybrid) and a giomer (Beautifil II) were fabricated. Each group was split across 4 groups (n=12). The specimens were immersed in tea solutions (mixed fruit, black, green, and white) and then bleached with 40% hydrogen peroxide. Color, surface roughness, and microhardness measurements were done after immersing in distilled water for 24 hours (T0), tea solutions (T1) and bleaching (T2). Data were analyzed statistically (p
