The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of food-simulating liquids (FSL) on the hardness and flexural strength (FS) of a new silorane-based composite and to compare it with methacrylate-based composites (MBCs). Four restorative materials(FiltekSilorane,P60,Z250,andSupremeXT)wereused.SpecimensfortheFSandhardnessmeasurementswere fabricated in customized molds. Immediately after polymerization, the materials were stored in the following dietary simulatingsolventsat37ºCfor1week:distilledwater,0.02Ncitricacid,heptane,and75%aqueousethanolsolution.After conditioning, the FS and hardness values were measured. Data were subjected to ANOVA/Scheffé's test at a significance level of 0.05. The hardness and FS of Filtek Silorane were not significantly affected by FSL (p>0.05).Conversely,thehardnessof MBCs significantly decreased after conditioning in water and ethanol (p<0.05). Similarly, the FS values of MBCs were significantly affected after conditioning in ethanol.
