Water sorption (WS) and solubility (S) of the experimental flowable composites (EFCs), made from silica filler of rice husk are important to explore the reaction of EFCs against different oral environments. To investigate the effects of different camphorquinone concentrations on the WS and S of the EFCs. EFCs were fabricated from nanohybrid silica and involved different weights of camphorquinone (CQ) (0.03 g, 0.05 g and 0.075 g) and other materials. 3 groups of 7 disk-like samples of each of the three EFCs and Revolution Formula 2 (RF2) were tested. Before immersion, the volumes were recorded and the mass of each sample was recorded, as m1. During the immersion phase in three different media for 7 days, the weight was recorded as m2. During the drying phase at 37◦C for 7 days, the weight was recorded as m3. The WS and S of EFCs and RF2 were calculated and compared. Data from all tests were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and post hoc Dunnett T3 tests at a significance level of 0.05. In all immersion media, WS and S of EFC CQ 0.05 were significantly higher than EFC CQ 0.03 and EFC CQ 0.075. However, the three experimental groups showed significantly higher values compared to RF 2 (p < 0.05). Although the outcomes were suboptimal, EFCs have the potential to be improved and be a sustainable product that can benefit the dental field and the environment.
