Abstract

Nanohybrid resin composite is one of the restorative dental materials that has good
aesthetic value and smooth surface. However, resin composite can be discolored due to
consuming foods and beverages, one of which is a carbonated beverage. To determine 
the difference of discoloration of polished and unpolished nanohybrid resin composite
after the immersion in carbonated beverage. An experimental laboratories research with
the post test only control group design. In the group of polished composite, polishing was
done on one side only, while the unpolished composit group, any treatment wasn't done.
The total were 32 samples, divided into 4 groups which were immersed in carbonated
beverages and artificial saliva for 7 days. The shredded material was replaced every 24
hours. The instrument used for testing the discoloration was a spectrophotometer. Data
was analyzed by parametric statistical test One-way ANOVA and LSD (Least Significant
Different). There were significant differences between the unpolished composite resin that
soaked in carbonated beverages and the other groups (p <0.05). Unpolished resin
composite are prone to discolorate compared to the polished resin composite
