Abstract


Introduction: While single-shade universal resin composites streamline clinical workflow, their hydrophilic resin matrix renders them vulnerable to acidic environments that compromise color stability and mechanical integrity. Pineapple juice (Ananas comosus (L.) Merr.), an acidic beverage rich in beta-carotene pigments, poses a potential risk of altering these physical characteristics.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the impact of pineapple juice immersion on the color stability and surface microhardness of single-shade universal composite resins.

Method: This pretest-posttest controlled laboratory experiment used 32 cylindrical specimens (10×2 mm) of two single-shade universal composites (Omnichroma and Zenchroma), randomized into four groups (n=8). Treatment cohorts were immersed in pineapple juice for 6 hours daily for 7 days at 37°C, while controls used distilled water. Color variations (∆E) and surface microhardness were evaluated using a spectrophotometer and Vickers Hardness Tester, respectively, and analyzed using two-way ANOVA.

Outcome: Two-way ANOVA revealed that the immersion medium exerted a statistically significant effect on both color variation and surface microhardness (p<0.05). All experimental groups displayed ∆E values below 1, confirming that color alterations were clinically imperceptible. Conversely, exposure to pineapple juice induced a significantly more marked decline in microhardness than distilled water (p<0.05), with Omnichroma exhibiting the most substantial reduction.

Conclusion: While immersion in pineapple juice does not cause clinically meaningful discoloration in single-shade universal composite resins, it produces a significant reduction in surface microhardness.
