Objectives: The
objective of this study is to examine the effect of nutrients and medicines
frequently consumed by children on the surface roughness of the
Polyacid-Modified Composite Resin (compomer), a restorative material
typically used in pediatric dentistry.
Materials and Methods: VOCO
Glasiosite® Caps compomer was used as the restoration material. Seven control
groups consisting of nutrients and medicines frequently consumed by children
from 0-6 years (Group 1: Ferro Sanol® B (150 ml) syrup, Group 2: Augmentin®-BID
(400 mg/57 mg) suspension, Group 3: Calpol® (120 mg/150 ml ), Group 4: Bebelac®
Gold 5 follow-on milk, Group 5: Danino® strawberry yogurt, Group 6: Nesquik®
chocolate milk, Group 7: Cappy® orange juice) were formed and their pH values
were measured. Compomer discs were created and their initial surface roughness
was measured by Bruker® Stylus Profilometer. Taking into consideration its
annual usage period, compomer material was brought in contact with
solutions. Then the roughness test was repeated. SEM images of each compomer
material were taken and compared with the control group.
Results: The evaluation
of the medicine group revealed that Ferro Sanol® B displays the highest level
of surface roughness difference (23.3 nm). As to the nutrients group, Cappy®
orange juice showed the highest surface roughness difference (21.4 nm). SEM
images support these findings.
Conclusions: The effect of
the solutions on the surface roughness of filling surfaces increases depending
on their acidity. However, it is believed that pH solely does not have any
impact. These studies should be supported by corrosion experiments.
