Aim: The aim of this study was to determine degree of conversion of resin-based sealants and the effect of beverages on surface roughness and color change of materials. Methods: Two commercial resin-based sealants were evaluated (Defense Chroma ® and BioSeal ® ). Degree of conversion (DC) was initially measured using Fourier-transformed infrared (FTIR). Specimens of each sealant were maintained in distilled water and immersed one hour daily in grape juice and cola drink for 30 days. One group was maintained only in distilled water, as a control. Surface roughness and color change were measured before immersion, after seven days of immersion and after 30 days of immersion. Results were analyzed using t-test, paired t-test, one-way repeated measures ANOVA, one-way ANOVA and post-hoc tests (0.05 level of significance). Results: There was no significant difference regarding degree of conversion and initial surface roughness comparing both commercial sealants. Surface roughness increased for BioSeal ® immersed in cola drink for 30 days. After 30 days, all groups presented significant color change. Conclusions: The effect of beverages on color stability and surface roughness of resin-based sealants depended on exposure time and kind of beverage.
