Key Points

The study aims to assess how different durations of alcohol washing impact the hardness and flexural strength of permanent dental resins.
Fifty bar-shaped specimens were created using VarseoSmile TriniQ dental resin.
Specimens were divided into five groups based on alcohol washing times: 3, 5, 10, 15, and 20 minutes.
Washing was performed using 99.5% ethanol, followed by standardized light postcuring.
Hardness measurements were taken with a microhardness tester, and flexural strength was evaluated using a three-point bending test.
Hardness and flexural strength varied significantly with different washing times.
Optimal washing time was determined for enhancing the resin's properties, indicating a potential clinical benefit.
