Study the Effects of Two Multivitamin Syrups on the Properties of the Composite Surface
Abstract
The current study aimed to determine the impact of multivitamin syrups applied daily on the surface microhardness and roughness of composite restorative materials. Materials and Methods: Forty disc-shaped composite specimens (2 mm thickness, 8 mm diameter). The samples were immersed in two multivitamins for 2 minutes, once a day, for 20 days. Surface microhardness and roughness measurements were taken at the baseline and after 20 days. A Vickers hardness tester and a surface profilometer were used to measure the surface microhardness and roughness. Results: Statistical examination of findings using the ANOVA test revealed that surface microhardness was decreased, and surface roughness was increased. These results from baseline to 20 days in each syrup, with Omega 3 showing the greatest decrease in microhardness, followed by BONVIT. Conclusion: After continuous usage of a drug or syrup, the material becomes more exposed to an acidic environment, making it more likely that this will affect the microhardness and roughness of the cosmetic restorative material.
