Abstract: Surface roughness of dental composite resins influences oral biofilm accumulation, which is associated with increased plaque retention and gingival inflammation. Finishing and polishing procedures aim to minimize surface irregularities. However, microscopic defects often remain on composite surfaces. Composite surface sealants are applied after polishing to penetrate and seal these microdefects, potentially improving surface integrity, however previous studies have reported inconsistent results. This study aimed to evaluate the behavior of sealed composite surfaces exposed to commonly used oral hygiene products, including probiotic mouthrinse. This was an in vitro experimental study using 14 cylindrical-shaped nanohybrid composite specimens divided into two groups (n=7): NH (Filtek Z250XT without sealer) and NHC (Filtek Z250XT with PermaSeal). Specimens were light-cured perpendicular to the surface, polished, and stored in artificial saliva for 24 hours at 37oC. Subsequently, specimens were immersed in MeToo probiotic non-alchocol mouthwash for 24 hours at 37oC. Surface roughness was measured using a surface roughness tester. Data were analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk normality test and the variance homogeneity with Levene’s test. Group comparison used Welch’s t-test, and Mann-Whitney U served as sensitivity analysis. The results showed that the mean Ra was higher in NH than NHC (0.860±0.309 and 0.614±0.104 µm). The mean differences (NH-NHC) was 0.246 µm. The between group difference was not statistically significant (t-test p = 0,069 and 0,084). In conclusion, PermaSeal showed a tendency to reduce surface roughness after immersion in a non-alcohol probiotic mouthwash, but the difference was not statistically significant under the present conditions.

Abstrak: Kekasaran permukaan resin komposit memengaruhi akumulasi biofilm oral, yang berhubungan dengan peningkatan retensi plak dan risiko inflamasi gingiva. Prosedur finishing dan polishing bertujuan untuk mengurangi ketidakteraturan permukaan, namun defek mikro sering kali masih tersisa pada permukaan komposit. Composite surface sealant diaplikasikan setelah polishing untuk menembus dan menutup defek mikro tersebut sehingga berpotensi memperbaiki integritas permukaan, namun efektivitasnya masih menunjukkan hasil bervariasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi perilaku permukaan komposit yang diberi surface sealant setelah paparan produk kebersihan mulut yang umum digunakan, termasuk obat kumur probiotik. Jenis penelitian ialah eksperimental in vitro, menggunakan 14 sampel resin komposit nanohibrid berbentuk silinder yang dibagi menjadi dua kelompok (n=7): NH (komposit nanohibrid tanpa sealer) dan NHC (komposit nanohibrid dengan PermaSeal). Penyinaran dilakukan tegak lurus terhadap permukaan, kemudian dipoles, dan direndam dalam saliva buatan selama 24 jam pada suhu 37oC. Selanjutnya sampel direndam dalam obat kumur MeToo probiotik non-alkohol selama 24 jam pada suhu 37oC. Kekasaran permukaan diukur dengan surface roughness tester. Uji statistik menggunakan uji Saphiro-Wilk dan Levene. Perbandingan antar kelompok dianalisis dengan uji t sebagai analisis sensitivitas. Hasil penelitian mendapatkan rerata Ra kelompok NH lebih tinggi dibanding NHC (0,860±0,309 dan 0,614±0,104 µm), dengan selisih rerata NH dan NHC 0,246 µm, namun perbedaannya tidak bermakna (t-test p=0,069 dan 0,084). Simpulan penelitian ini ialah PermaSeal menunjukkan kecenderungan menurunkan kekasaran permukaan setelah perendaman dalam obat kumur probiotik non-alkohol, namun perbedaannya tidak bermakna.
