Effect of antacid gastric syrups on surface properties of dental restorative materials: an in vitro analysis of roughness and microhardness.
Article in BMC oral health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesThe aim of this in-vitro study was to evaluate the effects of antacid gastric syrups on the surface roughness and microhardness of restorative dental materials. MATERIALS AND
methodsThree different composite resins, nanohybrid, microhybrid and giomer, and four antacid gastric syrups were used in the study. A total of 150 samples were obtained by preparing 50 (10 mm x 2 mm) disk-shaped samples of each composite type. The composites were randomly divided into 5 subgroups and immersed in antacid syrups for 2 min every day for 28 days. The control group samples were kept in distilled water for 28 days. Surface roughness was measured at the beginning, on the 7th, 15th and 28th days using a mechanical profilometer, AFM, and SEM and microhardness was measured using a Vickers device. Shapiro-Wilk, Repeated Measures ANOVA, One-Way ANOVA, Tukey and Games-Howell tests were applied for statistical analysis.
resultsAfter 28 days, the surface roughness of the giomer composite decreased significantly (p < 0.05). The surface roughness of microhybrid and nanohybrid composites increased slightly but not significantly (p > 0.05). Microhardness values of microhybrid and giomer composites showed a significant decrease (p < 0.05). SEM and AFM results were in agreement with the mechanical profilometer findings.
conclusionAgents such as calcium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate and magnesium carbonate in antacid gastric syrups can affect the surface properties of restorative dental materials. This may adversely affect the longevity and aesthetics of restorations. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: The study emphasizes the need for caution in restorative material selection and care protocols in patients using antacid gastric syrups.
