Composite resin blocks for computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (
CAD
/CAM) applications have recently become available. However,
CAD
/CAM composite resins have lower wear resistance and accumulate more plaque than
CAD
/CAM ceramic materials. We assessed the effects of SiO
2
-nanocomposite film coating of four types of
CAD
/CAM composite resin blocks: Cerasmart, Katana Avencia block, Lava Ultimate, and Block HC on surface hardness and bacterial attachment. All composite blocks with coating demonstrated significantly greater Vickers hardness, reduced surface roughness, and greater hydrophobicity than those without coating.
Adhesion
of Streptococcus mutans to the coated specimens was significantly less than those for the uncoated specimens. These reduced levels of bacterial adherence on the coated surface were still evident after treatment with saliva. Surface modification by SiO

-nanocomposite film coating has potential to improve wear resistance and susceptibility to plaque accumulation of
CAD
/CAM composite resin restorations.
