Key Points

The research aims to evaluate surface roughness of silicone elastomers after aging.
Fabricated 150 specimens using 4 high-consistency silicones and 1 liquid silicone rubber.
Conducted surface roughness (Ra) measurements before and after artificial aging.
Compared Ra changes among silicone groups using Wilcoxon signed-rank test.
No significant overall difference in pre- and post-aging Ra values for main silicone groups.
The lowest hardness option of high-consistency silicone showed significant differences.
