Effect of radiotherapy on the surface roughness and microhardness of contemporary bioactive restorative materials
ConclusionThe effect of radiotherapy might differ according to the type of the restorative material. Although results may differ for other tested materials, giomer tends to exhibit worse behaviour in terms of both surface roughness and microhardness.Clinical relevanceIn patients undergoing head and neck radiotherapy, it should be taken into consideration that the treatment process may also have negative effects on the surface properties of anti-caries restorative materials.
