In this study, three different detox drinks were examined for their effects on the surface roughness, colour change (∆E00), and transparency parameters (∆TP00) of universal resin composites. One hundred twenty samples were prepared, thirty each of universal resin composites (Omnichroma, OptiShade, Filtek Ultimate Universal, and Essentia Universal). Initial values were measured. The samples were randomly divided into three subgroups and exposed to the detox drinks. Measurements were repeated after 7, 14, and 28 days of exposure to detox drinks. The highest average surface roughness values in detox drinks were obtained with Essentia Universal. It was found that average surface roughness values increased over time, and there was a significant difference between the average surface roughness values obtained during the measurement periods (p < 0.05). In all detox drinks, the lowest ∆E00 values were obtained on days 7 and 14 with OM, while the highest ∆E00 values were obtained on day 28. There was a significant difference in the ∆E00 values of the universal resin composites tested at each time point (p < 0.05). The highest ∆TP00 values were obtained from OM in all periods and all detox drinks, while the lowest ∆TP00 values were obtained from FU. When the effects of resin composites, detox drinks, and time on ∆TP00 were analysed, a statistically significant difference was found (p < 0.05). Manufacturers recommend using detox drinks for 28 days. However, this period of use may affect the surface properties of restorative materials. Based on these data, we recommend careful use of detox drinks to prevent adverse effects on restorative materials.
