INTRODUCTION: Glass ionomer cement (GIC) materials have been used in dentistry for multiple
purposes. The surface roughness of a restorative material has a significant impact on its esthetic appearance,
wear and lifespan. Acidic liquids, such as soft drinks can cause restorative materials to degrade. The aim of
the study was to evaluate the surface roughness of two commercially available glass ionomer cements after
immersion in different fruit juices. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two glass ionomer cement brands
called d-tech and shofu were taken. 8 samples were prepared and tested for surface roughness before and
after immersion in lemon and grape juice. They were immersed in beakers containing juices at room
temperature for a period of 7 days. Mitutoyo SJ-310 stylus profilometer was used in this study for surface
roughness evaluation.
