was atype of robusta coffee which is acidic. The purpose of this study was to determine the change of surface
hardness of acrylic denture base after being immersed in ulee kareng coffee for 3 days. Twelve specimens (5 mm

experimental (immersion in Ulee Kareng Aceh coffee). Hardness was measured before and after immersion using
Knoop Microhardness tester (Shimadzu). Data were statistically analyzed by Mann Whitney and Wilcoxon test (α =
