Terrestrial radiotherapy alters microhardness and surface micromorphology of dental restorative materials: an in vitro study
Ionizing radiation alters both microhardness and surface morphology of restorative materials, with bulk-fill composites demonstrating greater resilience. These findings warrant further investigation <i>in vivo</i> to understand long-term clinical implications.
