Abstract Background:Although polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) is widely used as a denture base material, its disadvantages include low strength and low thermal conductivity. The effects on thermal conductivity, flexural strength, thermal diffusivity,and elastic modulus of adding Al2O3and SiC powders in different volumes to PMMA were investigated. Methods:A total of 60 specimens were prepared in 10 groups (five groups for the thermal conductivity test and five groups for the flexural strength test) (Table 3). The specimens were immersed in water for 30 days before the testing. Thermal conductivity values were measured by the transient hot bridge (THB) method, and flexural strengths were measured by the 3-point bend test. A significant difference was found in thermal conductivity, flexural strength, thermal diffusivity and elastic modulus values between independent groups (P <0.001) using the Kruskal-Wallis test. The Kruskal Wallis 1-way ANOVA was used for the post hoc tests after Kruskal Wallis (α=.05). Results: The thermal conductivity of PMMA increased significantly with the addition of 15% SiC and 15% Al2O3. The flexural strength values ​​decreased significantly with the addition of 10% SiC and 15% Al2O3. The thermal diffusivity values increased significantly with the addition of 10% and 15% SiC. The Young modulus of PMMA decreased when 10% SiC, 10% Al2O3and 15% Al2O3 were added. Environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM) showed that ceramic powders were dissipated in PMMA. Conclusions: The addition of 15% SiC powders to PMMA increased thermal conductivity without significantly reducing flexural strength.

The effects on thermal conductivity, flexural strength, thermal diffusivity, and elastic modulus of adding Al2O3 and SiC powders in different volumes to PMMA were investigated. A total of 60 specimens were prepared in 10 groups (five groups for the thermal conductivity test and five groups for the flexural strength test (n:6). The specimens were immersed in water for 30 days before the testing. Thermal conductivity values were measured by the transient hot bridge (THB) method, and flexural strengths were measured by the 3-point bend test. A significant difference was found in thermal conductivity, flexural strength, thermal diffusivity and elastic modulus values between independent groups (P [0.001) using the Kruskal-Wallis test. The Kruskal Wallis 1-way ANOVA was used for the post hoc tests after Kruskal Wallis (a;=.05). The thermal conductivity of PMMA increased significantly with the addition of 15% SiC and 15% Al2O3. The flexural strength values decreased significantly with the addition of 10% SiC and 15% Al2O3. The thermal diffusivity values increased significantly with the addition of 10% and 15% SiC. The Young modulus of PMMA decreased when 10% SiC, 10% Al2O3 and 15% Al2O3 were added. Environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM) showed that ceramic powders were dissipated in PMMA. The addition of 15% SiC powders to PMMA increased thermal conductivity without significantly reducing flexural strength. This study helped determine the optimum volumes for the use of SiC and Al2O3 powders. Knowledge of the importance of this variable will help in more effective modification of denture base resin with SiC and Al2O3 powders to improve heat transfer without adversely affecting strength.

Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the addition of low-silicon dioxide nanoparticles (nano-SiO2) on the flexural strength and elastic modulus of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) denture base material. Materials and Methods A total of 50 rectangular acrylic specimens (65 × 10 × 2.5 mm3) were fabricated from heat-polymerized acrylic resin. In accordance with the amount of nano-SiO2, specimens were divided into the following five groups (n = 10 per group): a control group with no added SiO2, and four test groups modified with 0.05, 0.25, 0.5, and 1.0 wt% nano-SiO2 of acrylic powder. Flexural strength and elastic modulus were measured by using a 3-point bending test with a universal testing machine. A scanning electron microscope was used for fracture surface analyses. Data analyses were conducted through analysis of variance and Tukey’s post hoc test (α = 0.05). Results Compared with the control group, flexural strength and modulus of elasticity tended to significantly increase (p ˂ 0.001) with the incorporation of nano-SiO2. In between the reinforced groups, the flexural strength significantly decreased (p ˂ 0.001) as the concentrations increased from 0.25 to 1.0%, with the 1.0% group showing the lowest value. Furthermore, the elastic modulus significantly increased (p ˂ 0.001) at 0.05% followed by 1.0%, 0.25%, 0.5%, and least in control group. Conclusion A low nano-SiO2 addition increased the flexural strength and elastic modulus of a PMMA denture base resin.

Introduction: Acrylic resin is still the most commonly used denture base material due to its ideal properties. However, acrylic resin denture fractures are still considered a major unsolved problem thus the addition of nanoparticles as filler was performed to increase its mechanical properties. The purpose of this study was to discovered the effect of nanoparticles TiO2 on the flexural strength of acrylic resin denture plate. Method: This study used 27 heat-cured acrylic resin specimens sized 65 x 10 x 2.5 mm. The samples were divided into three concentration groups (n = 9), the control group; 1% of nanoparticles TiO2; and 3% of nanoparticles TiO2. The flexural strength was tested using the Universal Testing Machine. All data were analysed using the one-way ANOVA test with 95% confidence level then continued with the Least Significant Difference (LSD) test. Results: There were significant flexural strength differences in different concentration of nanoparticles TiO2. The highest flexural strength value was found in the 1% of nanoparticles TiO2 group (106.99 ± 6.09 MPa), whilst the lowest flexural strength value was found in the 3% of nanoparticles TiO2 group (91.64 ± 5.38 MPa). Significant flexural strength difference was found between the control group and the 1% of nanoparticles TiO2 group, and also between the 1% of nanoparticles TiO2 group with the 3% of nanoparticles TiO2 group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: From this study can be concluded that concentration of 1% of nanoparticles TiO2 was able to increase the flexural strength of acrylic resin denture plate.

How the particle size and volumetric ratio of silicon carbide (SiC) powder additions will strengthen polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is unclear. The purpose of this in vitro study was to optimize the reinforcement parameters of PMMA with SiC powder by using the Taguchi experimental design method. Particle size, volumetric rate, silane coupling rate, and mixing type were determined as parameters that would affect the reinforcement of PMMA with SiC powder. Using the Taguchi L9 orthogonal array, test specimens with different parameter combinations were fabricated and tested. The fracture load (in newtons) of each specimen group was recorded with the 3-point bend test. The thermal conductivity values of 60x50-mm and 3-mm-thick rectangular specimens were measured by using the Linseis THB100 thermal conductivity unit. The thermal diffusivity values were then calculated. Thermal analysis indicated improvement in the thermal conductivity of PMMA after reinforcement with SiC. The maximum thermal diffusivity was obtained with 15% SiC powder by volume. Thermal conductivity and flexural strength increased with an increase in particle size. The maximum flexural strength value was obtained with 5% SiC powder by volume. Increasing the particle size of the filler SiC powder resulted in increased thermal conductivity and flexural strength. Increasing the SiC filler powder by volume increased the thermal conductivity of PMMA but reduced its flexural strength. This study helped determine the optimum conditions for the use of SiC powder. Knowledge of the importance of these variables will help in more effective modification of denture base resin with SiC powder to improve heat transfer without adversely affecting strength.

Work Of Fracture

The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of two post-curing methods on the mechanical properties of a 3D-printed denture base material. Additionally, to compare the mechanical properties of that 3D-printed material with those of conventional autopolymerizing and a heat-cured denture base material. A resin for 3D-printing denture base (Imprimo®), a heat-polymerizing acrylic resin (Paladon® 65), and an autopolymerizing acrylic resin (Palapress®) were investigated. Flexural strength, elastic modulus, fracture toughness, work of fracture, water sorption, and water solubility were evaluated. The 3D-printed test specimens were post-cured using two different units (Imprimo Cure® and Form Cure®). The tests were carried out after both dry and 30 days water storage. Data were collected and statistically analyzed. Resin type had a significant effect on the flexural strength, elastic modulus, fracture toughness, and work of fracture (p < 0.001). The flexural strength and elastic modulus for the heat-cured polymer were significantly the highest among all investigated groups regardless of the storage condition (p < 0.001). The fracture toughness and work of fracture of the 3D-printed material were significantly the lowest (p < 0.001). The heat-cured polymer had the lowest significant water solubility (p < 0.001). The post-curing method had an impact on the flexural strength of the investigated 3D-printed denture base material. The flexural strength, elastic modulus, fracture toughness, work of fracture of the 3D-printed material were inferior to those of the heat-cured one. Increased post-curing temperature may enhance the flexural properties of resin monomers used for 3D-printing dental appliances.

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.
