Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh lama perendaman dalam saliva buatan terhadap perubahan pH-nya dan kekasaran permukaan resin komposit Giomer Bulk-Fill. Jumlah spesimen 63 buah dibagi dalam sembilan kelompok perlakuan yaitu perendaman dalam saliva buatan pH 7; 5,5; dan 4,5 selama masing-masing 1 jam, 24 jam, dan 72 jam pada suhu 370C. Perubahan pH saliva buatan diukur menggunakan pH meter dan pengujian kekasaran permukaan spesimen menggunakan surface roughness tester. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan yang bermakna pada setiap kelompok perlakuan.

This study aimed to determine the effect of immersion time on artificial saliva pH changes and surface roughness of Giomer Bulk Fill composite resin. Sixty three specimens were divided into nine groups with immersion in artificial saliva pH 7, 5.5, and 4.5 for 1 hour, 24 hours, and 72 hours at 370C respectively. The changes in artificial saliva pH were measured using a pH meter and the surface roughness measured using surface roughness tester. The results showed that there were significant differences between each groups.
