RESUMO

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of different )f radiation doses produced by cobalt-60 teletherapy unit on two types of restorative dental materials: 3M Filtek TM A 110 used for forward teeth restorations and condensable SureFilTM used for back teeth restorations. Seventy five specimens were fabricated, 25 were submitted to Knoop hardness test and 50 to surface roughness. Next, the samples were immersed in distilled water in an acrylic support for chemical stabilization for 24 hours, and evaluated before irradiation test. Afterwards the samples were submitted to microhardness test and to surface roughness. Subsequently, samples were irradiated with single doses of 0,25Gy; O,50Gy; 0,75Gy; 1Gy. Twenty four hours after irradiation, the same samples were evaluated considering both tests - roughness and microhardness. After these procedures, the 50 samples used for the roughness surface evaluation were submitted to abrasion and stored in distilled water for 24 hours. After this period, the roughness surface were again analyzed. Data were submitted to Tukey test and to paired t-test, and it was observed that the two irradiated composites had a statistically significant reduction in Knoop hardness values when compared to non­irradiated composites adversely, no statically significant differences were found among the irradiated groups. Regarding surface roughness, no statistically significant difference was observed in the comparisons between the control group and irradiated group, however statistically significant differences were found inside each group, before and after the samples have been submitted to abrasion. It was concluded that the x-irradiation influenced the Knoop hardness, therefore it did not interfere on the surface roughness of the two restorative composite evaluated
