This study compared the effects of aging in artificial saliva and thermal shocks on the microhardness of nanohybrid composite and bulk-fill composite. The results showed that after thermocycling and 25 months of aging, the microhardness of the nanohybrid composite decreased by approximately 12-15%, while the bulk-fill composite decreased by approximately 22-24%. Additionally, the nanohybrid composite had a lower initial hardness than the bulk-fill composite, but it showed a lower relative reduction in hardness of approximately 10%.
This study evaluates the effect of aging in artificial saliva and thermal shocks on the microhardness of the bulk-fill composite compared to the nanohybrid composite. Two commercial composites, Filtek Z550 (3M ESPE) (Z550) and Filtek Bulk-Fill (3M ESPE) (B-F), were tested. The samples were exposed to artificial saliva (AS) for one month (control group). Then, 50% of the samples from each composite were subjected to thermal cycling (temperature range: 5-55 degrees C, cycle time: 30 s, number of cycles: 10,000) and another 50% were put back into the laboratory incubator for another 25 months of aging in artificial saliva. The samples' microhardness was measured using the Knoop method after each stage of conditioning (after 1 month, after 10,000 thermocycles, after another 25 months of aging). The two composites in the control group differed considerably in hardness (HK = 89 for Z550, HK = 61 for B-F). After thermocycling, the microhardness decrease was for Z550 approximately 22-24% and for B-F approximately 12-15%. Hardness after 26 months of aging decreased for Z550 (approximately 3-5%) and B-F (15-17%). B-F had a significantly lower initial hardness than Z550, but it showed an approximately 10% lower relative reduction in hardness.
