Tujuan :Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh aplikasi gel acidulated
phosphate fluoride terhadap perubahan warna material restoratif resin komposit bulk-fill
flowable yang direndam dalam larutan kopi. Metode penelitian: Dua puluh spesimen
resin komposit bulk-fill flowable berbentuk silinder berdiameter 6 mm dengan tebal 2 mm
disiapkan kemudian dibagi menjadi 2 kelompok, dengan salah satu kelompok menerima
aplikasi gel APF dan kelompok lainnya tidak. Setelah diberikan aplikasi gel, spesimen
kemudian direndam di dalam larutan kopi (37oC) selama 7 hari. Pengukuran warna
dilakukan dengan colorimeter pada saat sebelum perlakuan, setelah aplikasi gel APF dan
setelah perendaman di dalam larutan kopi, kemudian dihitung nilai perubahan warnanya
sesusai sistem CIE Lab. Analisis data menggunakan uji statistik Independent T-Test
untuk menilai perbedaan perubahan warna antara kelompok dengan dan tanpa aplikasi
gel APF. Hasil: Hasil menujukkan kelompok yang menerima gel APF mengalami
perubahan warna yang lebih besar (p>0.05) daripada kelompok tanpa gel APF.
Kesimpulan : Dari hasil penelitian, disimpulkan bahwa aplikasi gel APF memiliki
pengaruh terhadap perubahan warna pada resin komposit bulk-fill flowable
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of application ofacidulated phosphate fluoride gel on the color change of bulk-fill flowable compositeresin restorative material immersed in coffee. Methods: Twenty specimens of bulk-fillflowable composite resin in the form of cylinders 6 mm in diameter and 2 mm in thicknesswere prepared and then divided into 2 groups, with one group receiving APF gelapplication and the other group not. After being given the gel application, the specimenswere then immersed in a coffee solution (37oC) for 7 days. Color measurement wascarried out with a colorimeter before treatment, after application of APF gel and afterimmersion in coffee solution, then the value of the color change was calculated accordingto the CIE Lab system. Data was analyzed using the independent T-Test statistical test toassess differences in color change between groups with and without APF gel application.Results: The results showed that the group that received the APF gel had a greater colorchange (p> 0.05) than the group without APF gel application. Conclusion: From theresults of the study, it was concluded that the application of APF gel had an effect on thecolor change of the flowable bulk-fill composite resin.
