Surface changes of various bulk ‐fill resin‐based composites after exposure to different food‐simulating liquid and beverages

ConclusionAcidic food‐simulating liquids and beverages significantly increased the surface roughness and decreased surface microhardness of bulk‐fill resin composites after evaluation at the end of the 28‐day immersion period. Clinical significanceFor restoration of the affected teeth in patients who consume acidic food and beverages, roughness and erosion of resin composites should be considered. All of bulk‐fill resin‐based composites except SDR may be suitable for restorations in these patients.
