Description Background: The purpose of this an in vitro study was to evaluate and compare the influence of three types of
mouth rinses (alcohol- containing, alcohol-free and chlorhexidine-containing mouth rinses) and human saliva on
microhardness of two types of composite resins (packable and nanofilled composite).
Materials and Methods: Total numbers of 64 specimens were prepared, using molds specially fabricated for this study
and divided according to type of composite resins used, into two groups: 32 specimens made from packable P60
and 32 specimens made from Filtek Supreme XT nanocomposite. Then each 32 specimens subdivided into 4
subgroups according to treatment solutions used (Listerine, oral-B, chlorhexidine containing mouth rinses and saliva).
The specimens of each subgroup was immersed, after curing, in distilled water for 24hr at 37°C then subjected to
microhardness measurement for baseline readings determination using Vickers microhardness tester. Then each
subgroup was immersed in 20 ml of treatment solutions and incubated at 37°C for 24 hr and re-subjected to
microhardness measurement. The change in hardness value was calculated for each sample. The resulting data
were statistically analyzed using ANOVA and t- test at 0.05 significance level.
Results: The results revealed that, all mouth rinses tested decreased the hardness of both tested resin-composites and
non significant reduction in microhardness with saliva.
Conclusion: Both alcohol-containing & alcohol-free mouth rinses cause, highly significant reduction in microhardness
of composite resins while saliva causes non significant reduction in microhardness. Chlorhexidine-contaianing mouths
rinses highly significant decrease the hardness of nanocomposite and significantly decrease the hardness of
packable composite.
