After T7, MS underwent an increase in roughness (μ = 0.09 ± 0.80); ES underwent a decrease (μ = −0.08 ± 0.16). RC caused the smallest variation in roughness. After T15, both materials presented an increase in roughness. After T183, ES (μ = −0.30 ± 0.48) presented a higher roughness variation than MS (μ = −0.07 ± 0.32). Hypochlorite caused an increase in roughness (μ = 0.02 ± 0.19).Conclusion:  After all periods ES presented higher colour alteration than MS; highest colour alteration was caused by hypochlorite. Both materials were more stable after immersion in RC.
