The impact of dental varnishes on the immediate surface microhardness and roughness of restorative dental materials: An in vitro study

Background/Aim. Dental varnishes are effective in preventing caries children. This study aims to compare the effect of containing fluoride and casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate on microhardness roughness three specific restorative materials pediatric dental practice. Methods. The included 60 discs bars, made from commonly used materials. After preparation incubation, subsequent basic measurement, samples were divided into two subgroups, each which was treated with varnish according a precisely established protocol. treatment, all retested for roughness. Results. application phosphopeptideamorphous increased hybrid composite resin-modified GIC but reduced high-viscosity GIC. more pronounced material, as well resinmodified glass ionomer cement. Conclusion. Prophylactic have potential alter restorations. It is important carefully select appropriate varnish, it can influence properties material.
