Aim To evaluate the effects of energy drinks and soft beverages on the surface degradation of different self‐adhesive materials. Materials and methods A 156 disc shaped specimens of each of the following materials were prepared: Alkasite (Cention N, CN), High viscozity glass ionomer (Equia Forte, EF), Glass Carbomer (GCP Fill, GC) (n = 52). After specimen preparations, baseline surface roughness measurements were done using a 3D non‐contact optical profilometer. Then, specimens were subdivided into 4 subgroups (n = 13) and stored in petri dish containing Red Bull; Burn; Coca‐Cola and Distilled water. The surface roughness of the specimens were measured after 1‐day, 1‐week, and 1‐month of immersion in beverages. Result It was observed that 1‐month Red Bull immersion revealed the highest roughness difference (ΔRa) for each self‐adhesive restorative material and this was followed by Burn. Whereas, the lowest ΔRa values were observed after 1‐day coke and distilled water immersion in all tested material groups ( P < 0.05). Coke and distilled water presented the energy drinks' 1‐day immersion affect, after 1‐week immersion ( P < 0.05). Conclusion The energy drinks have a substantially damaging effect on roughness of self adhesive materials compared with soft drinks and distilled water; and this effect is increasing with exposure duration.
