Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effect of the immersion period in artificial saliva with various pH on the surface hardness of glass-hybrid restorative material (EQUIA® FORTE Glass-Hybrid Restorative System, GC Corporation, Japan). There were 90 specimens (diameter 6mm, thickness 3mm) divided into nine treatment groups, immersed in artificial saliva with a pH of 4.5; 5.5; and 7 for 1 hour, 24 hours, and 72 hours at 37°C, respectively. Surface hardness was tested using Knoop hardness tester (Shimadzu HMV-G Micro Hardness Tester, Japan) with 50 grams load for 15 seconds, five indentations on each specimen. The results were analyzed statistically with One-way ANOVA (p <0.05). The results showed that there were significant differences between each group. The hardness values of the group immersed in artificial saliva pH 4.5 for 1 hour, 24 hours, and 72 hours were 69,48 ± 0.57 KHN, 54.76 ± 0.23 KHN, and 42.90 ± 0.41 KHN respectively. Meanwhile, the hardness values of the group immersed in artificial saliva pH 5.5 for 1 hour, 24 hours, and 72 hours were 75.34 ± 0.32 KHN, 57.45 ± 0.47 KHN, and 45.84 ± 0.27 KHN respectively. With artificial saliva pH 7 for 1 hour, 24 hours, and 72 hours, the hardness values were 82.89 ± 0.68 KHN, 62.49 ± 0.37 KHN, and 49.84 ± 0.14 KHN respectively. It can be concluded that the lower pH value of artificial saliva and prolonged immersion period can reduce the surface hardness value of glass-hybrid restorative materials.
