Abstract
Aim: This study's objective was to investigate the impact of gut-friendly supplements on the surface roughness of bulk-fill resin composites.
Materials and methods: A hundred composite discs (10 mm × 2 mm) were prepared from a bioactive surface pre-reacted glass (S-PRG) filled composite Beautifil Bulk Restorative (BBR) and nanohybrid Tetric N-Ceram bulk (TNB) restorative resin-composite. Ten discs were examined per group after 24 hours without treatment (baseline). Then, each group was split up into four subgroups (n=10) based on the immersion media: distilled water (control), probiotics, prebiotics, and pro/prebiotic media. Specimens were submerged for 10 minutes/day for 1 month. A 3D non-contact optical Profilometer was utilized to measure surface roughness (Ra). Three subsequent measurements in each specimen were taken to calculate the mean surface roughness values. Data were calculated and statistically analyzed using Two-way ANOVA followed by Tuckey’s post hoc test (P ≤ 0.05).
Results: The results showed that the supplements-immersed surfaces of all tested materials were roughest. There was a statistically significant difference between TNB and BBR immersed in prebiotic and baseline at p=0.003 and p=0.022, respectively. The BBR specimens immersed in prebiotic solution had the highest surface roughness value (10.57 ± 0.90 µm).
Conclusion: The S-PRG and nanohybrid composite resins' surface roughness may be adversely affected by dietary supplements that are gut-friendly. BBR composite resin was the one that suffered the most damage in surface roughness analysis after storage in the prebiotics solution.
