Methods: Five modern composite restoration materials were used, including hybrid (Xtra-fill and Z250), micro-fill hybrid (G-aenial and Gradia-direct) and methacrylate-free restorative material (Silorane- oxirane). Two base materials were used IRM (ZOE-base) and Fuji-IX (GI-base). Samples were made using a designed mold, in which composite discs were cured on top and in close relation to base materials. Micro-hardness testing was performed using a DMH-2 microhardness tester utilizing the Knoop method. Results: Statistic analysis demonstrated significantly better microhardness of three composite materials when IRM was used as base in comparison to control (G-aenial, Gradia direct and Filtek silorane), and no differences in two materials (Filtek universal Z250 and Voco Xtra-fil). Fuji-IX bases showed a significant positive effect on the microhardness of four composite materials, and a negative effect on one material (Voco Xtra-fill). In comparison with other tested restoration materials, both Voco Xtra-fill and Fuji-IX showed higher microhardness results (P<0.05). Significance: Related to microhardness, both ZOE and GI bases can be used safely as bases under composite restorations. The results of this study together with the results published recently showed that the concept of not using ZOE or GI bases under composite must be reconsidered. Fuji IX showed microhardness results similar to the best composite material and therefore it can be used as a restorative material. 2 7 2014 13 19 TODENTJ-8-13 1 10.2174/crossmark_policy opendentistryjournal.com benthamopen.com true Peer Reviewed Single blind Checked with iThenticate 2013-10-26 2014-1-9 2014-1-10 2014-2-7 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ 10.2174/1874210601408010013 1553505509 https://opendentistryjournal.com/VOLUME/8/PAGE/13/ https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V8/TODENTJ-8-13/TODENTJ-8-13.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V8/TODENTJ-8-13/TODENTJ-8-13.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V8/TODENTJ-8-13/TODENTJ-8-13.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V8/TODENTJ-8-13/TODENTJ-8-13.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V8/TODENTJ-8-13/TODENTJ-8-13.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V8/TODENTJ-8-13/TODENTJ-8-13.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V8/TODENTJ-8-13/TODENTJ-8-13.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V8/TODENTJ-8-13/TODENTJ-8-13.xml Donly KJ, Segura A, Eds.
