The purpose of this study was to determine the differences in surface roughness and discoloration of heat cured acrylic resin submersed in decoction of red betel leaf and essential oil of red betel leaf 10% and 25%. This study was a laboratory experimental with pre and post test group design research.measuring surface roughness value with surface roughness TR 220 and discoloration value with color reader TCR 200.
