Abstract

To observe and measure the surface roughness of polished translucent zirconia after immersion in distilled water and orange juice at different temperatures. Samples of zirconia were prepared through the process of milling with a milling machine at size 8x9x3 mm3 and polished with Komet polishing kits. They were thoroughly cleaned within an ultrasonic bath, dry with a hot air oven, and stored within a sealed container containing silica gel for moisture control. Surfaces were measured for surface roughness (Ra in nm) using a non-contact profilometer in a jig made of silicone on all surfaces. The silicone jig was to fix the position of the zirconia samples and assist in locating the position for obtaining the value Ra (nm) for zirconia samples before and after beverage immersion. The distilled water (W) and orange juice (O) were used for immersion and the temperatures selected were orange juice at a cold temperature of 5°C and room temperature of 25°C for 168 hours (n=10). The results showed that the changes in beverage types and temperatures had no effect on the surface roughness of translucent zirconia (p>0.05). The types of beverages and temperature did not affect to the surface roughness of polished translucent zirconia.
