This study investigates a wide range of clinically relevant mechanical properties of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) denture base materials modified with di-methyl itaconate (DMI) and di-n-butyl itaconate (DBI) in order to compare them to a commercial PMMA denture base material. The commercial denture base formulation was modified with DMI and DBI by replacing up to 10 wt% of methyl methacrylate (MMA) monomer. The specimens were prepared by standard bath curing process. The influence of the itaconate content on hardness, impact strength, tensile, and thermal and dynamic mechanical properties was investigated. It is found that the addition of di-n-alkyl itaconates gives homogenous blends that show decreased glass transition temperature, as well as decrease in storage modulus, ultimate tensile strength, and impact fracture resistance with increase in the itaconate content. The mean values of surface hardness show no significant change with the addition of itaconates. The magnitude of the measured values indicates that the poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) denture base material modified with itaconates could be developed into a less toxic, more environmentally and patient friendly product than commercial pure PMMA denture base material.

Colonization of polymeric dental prosthetic materials by yeast-like fungi and the association of these microorganisms with complications occurring during prosthetic treatment are important clinical problems. In previously presented research, submicron inorganic particles of silver sodium hydrogen zirconium phosphate (S–P) were introduced into poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) denture base material which allowed for obtaining the antimicrobial effect during a 90 day experiment. The aim of the present study was to investigate the flexural strength, impact strength, hardness, wear resistance, sorption, and solubility during three months of storage in distilled water. With increasing S–P concentration after 2 days of conditioning in distilled water, reduced values of flexural strength (107–72 MPa), impact strength (18.4–5.5 MPa) as well as enhanced solubility (0.95–1.49 µg/mm3) were registered, but they were at acceptable levels, and the sorption was stable. Favorable changes included increased hardness (198–238 MPa), flexural modulus (2.9–3.3 GPa), and decreased volume loss during wear test (2.9–0.2 mm3). The percentage changes of the analyzed properties during the 90 days of storage in distilled water were similar for all materials.

Nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) particles as impact modifier mixed with treated ceramic fillers (aluminum oxide, yttria-stabilized zirconia, and silicon dioxide) were used to reinforce poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) denture base material. The powder components are PMMA, benzoyl peroxide, NBR (5, 7.5, and 10 wt%), and ceramic fillers (5 wt%) treated with silane. The liquid components are 90% methyl methacrylate and 10% ethylene glycol dimethacryate. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analyses confirmed that the ceramic fillers were successful. The morphology of fracture surfaces of specimens was characterized using field emission scanning electron microscopy. The impact strength (IS) and fracture toughness ( KIC) improved significantly. IS increased to 56% (8.26 kJ m−2) and 73% (2.77 MPa m1/2) for KIC when compared with unreinforced PMMA matrix. Statistical analyses of data results were significantly improved ( p < 0.005). PMMA denture base reinforced by NBR particles mixed with treated ceramic fillers are ideally suited for dentistry applications with the ability to withstand high mastication forces.
