Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of acrylic resin immersion in different mouthwashes on hardness, roughness and color. Methods: Specimens of an orthodontic selfcured acrylic resin (Orto Clas ®) were produced and immersed in five mouthwashes: Plax ® Classic (Colgate ®); Plax ® alcohol-free (Colgate ®); Listerine ® (Johnson & Johnson ®); Periogard ® (Colgate ®) and Periogard ® alcohol-free (Colgate ®).
