The Impact

The present study evaluated the effect of repeated simulated microwave disinfection on physical and mechanical properties of Clássico, Onda-Cryl and QC-20 denture base acrylic resins. Aluminum patterns were included in metallic or plastic flasks with dental stone following the traditional packing method. The powder/liquid mixing ratio was established according to the manufacturer's instructions. After water-bath polymerization at 74ºC for 9 h, boiling water for 20 min or microwave energy at 900 W for 10 min, the specimens were deflasked after flask cooling and finished. Each specimen was immersed in 150 mL of distilled water and underwent 5 disinfection cycles in a microwave oven set at 650 W for 3 min. Non-disinfected and disinfected specimens were subjected to the following tets: Knoop hardness test was performed with 25 g load for 10 s, impact strength test was done using the Charpy system with 40 kpcm, and 3-point bending test (flexural strength) was performed at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min until fracture. Data were analyzed statistically by ANOVA and Tukey's test (α= 0.05%). Repeated simulated microwave disinfections decreased the Knoop hardness of Clássico and Onda-Cryl resins and had no effect on the impact strength of QC-20. The flexural strength was similar for all tested resins.

The addition of different polymers, such as polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE), to denture base resins could be an option to modify acrylic resin mechanical properties. This study evaluated the surface hardness, impact and flexural strength, flexural modulus and peak load of 2 acrylic resins, one subjected to a long and another subjected to a short polymerization cycle, which were prepared with or without the addition of 2% PTFE. Four groups were formed according to the polymerization cycle and addition or not of PTFE. Forty specimens were prepared for each test (10 per group) with the following dimensions: hardness (30 mm diameter x 5 mm thick), impact strength (50 x 6 x 4 mm) and flexural strength (64 x 10 x 3.3 mm) test. The results of the flexural strength test allowed calculating flexural modulus and peak of load values. All tests were performed in accordance with the ISO 1567:1999 standard. Data were analyzed statistically by ANOVA and Tukey's test with the level of significance set at 5%. No statistically significant differences (p>0.05) were found for surface hardness. Flexural strength, impact strength and peak load were significantly higher (p<0.05) for resins without added PTFE. The flexural modulus of the acrylic resin with incorporated 2% PTFE polymerized by long cycle was significantly higher (p<0.05) than that of the other resins. Within the limits of this study, it may be concluded that the addition of PTFE did not improve the mechanical properties of the evaluated acrylic resins.

ABSTRACT Objective The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare changes in the flexural strength of heat-cured denture base resins when treated using denture cleansers. Study design A total of 40 specimens with dimension 65 mm length, 10 mm width, and 3 mm thickness were prepared as per ISO 1567 specification. A total of 10 specimens were immersed in distilled water to be used as control. Of the remaining 30 samples, 10 were treated with Clinsodent, 10 with VI-Clean, and 10 with Clanden denture cleansers. Specimens in each group were subjected to three-point flexural load in universal testing machine at a cross-head speed of 5 mm/min. The peak load (N) was recorded and flexural strength was calculated. The findings were analyzed using Kruskal–Wallis analysis of variance and Mann–Whitney test. Results Heat-cured denture base resin selected for this study showed significant difference in flexural strength after immersion in denture cleansers Clinsodent, VI-Clean, and Clanden solutions, when compared with the control group. Conclusion Findings of this study showed that denture cleansers altered the flexural strength of heat polymerized acrylic resins that endured soaking cycles which simulated 180 days of use. Hence, denture cleansers should be used with caution, once a day after brushing the dentures. It is advisable for patients to follow the manufacturer's instructions.

This study was performed to determine and compare the effect of heat and gamma-ray polymerization methods on the residual monomer and flexural strength of polyethylene fiber-reinforced denture-base acrylic resins. Four groups ( n = 10) of specimens of polyethylene fiber-reinforced denture-base material were prepared in the form of thin disks. The first group was subjected to heat-curing and the other three groups were polymerized with gamma irradiation at doses of 15, 25, and 35 kGy, respectively. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer was used to monitor the corresponding polymerization processes. The analysis of residual monomer was carried out by high-performance liquid chromatography–photodiode array detector. A three-point bending test was used to evaluate the flexural strength of the samples. The one-way analysis of variance test was performed to determine the significant differences between the groups. The absence of the bands related to carbon–carbon double bond in the FTIR spectra of all test groups was an evidence of polymerization. The mean weight percentage of residual monomer was successively ranked from highest to lowest in; heat-cured, gamma-cured at 15–35 kGy. However, no significant difference ( p = 0.462) was found between gamma-cured samples at 25 and 35 kGy. Mechanical test results revealed that heat-cured samples had higher flexural strength than gamma-cured specimens ( p < 0.001). Within the limitations of this study, polymerization with gamma-rays at 15 kGy was proposed as a promising technique in terms of the residual monomer and flexural strength results.

In this study, the physical properties of a custom block manufactured using a self-polymerizing resin (Custom-block), the commercially available CAD/CAM PMMA disk (PMMA-disk), and a heat-polymerizing resin (Conventional PMMA) were evaluated via three different tests. The Custom-block was polymerized by pouring the self-polymerizing resin into a special tray, and Conventional PMMA was polymerized with a heat-curing method, according to the manufacturer’s recommended procedure. The specimens of each group were subjected to three-point bending, water sorption and solubility, and staining tests. The results showed that the materials met the requirements of the ISO standards in all tests, except for the staining tests. The highest flexural strength was exhibited by the PMMA-disk, followed by the Custom-block and the Conventional PMMA, and a significant difference was observed in the flexural strengths of all the materials (p < 0.001). The Custom-block showed a significantly higher flexural modulus and water solubility. The water sorption and discoloration of the Custom-block were significantly higher than those of the PMMA-disk, but not significantly different from those of the Conventional PMMA. In conclusion, the mechanical properties of the three materials differed depending on the manufacturing method, which considerably affected their flexural strength, flexural modulus, water sorption and solubility, and discoloration.
