Background: Acrylic resin is the most commonly used denture base material. One disadvantage is that it can absorb water that can cause changes in dimensions. Changes in the dimensions of acrylic resin are influenced by processing acrylic resin. At present injection molding techniques are known to be better than compression molding. Dimension changes due to water absorption occur in the first 7 days and interval intervals of up to 12 days. Purpose: this study was to determine whether immersion of acrylic resin with Injection molding techniques had an effect on changes in dimensions. Method: The study was conducted on acrylic resin test rods with a size of 25 mm x 25 mm x 5 mm. by using injection molding techniques. Acrylic resins are immersed in water for 24 hours, 48 hours and 12 days. Changes in dimensions are measured using a caliper with an accuracy of 0.01 mm. Statistical analysis was performed using the normality test, homogeneity test, and ANOVA test. Results: this study found that there was no change in dimensions of acrylic resin with water-immersed injection molding techniques 24 hours, 48 hours and 12 days. Conclusion: That immersion of acrylic resin in water at 24 hours, 48 hours, and 12 days with injection molding techniques did not affect changes in dimensions.

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized by bioreduction method using aqueous extracts of Boesenbergia rotunda as reducing and stabilizing agents. Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometer was utilized to monitor the qualitative formation of AgNPs. The UV-Vis spectrum showed that the spherical AgNPs with diameter of 20-40 nm were formed. The antifugal activity of synthesized AgNPs was investigated using Candida albicans, which was found that the synthesized AgNPs could be used as effective growth inhibitors. The influence of the incorporation of prepared AgNPs on thermal properties of the acrylic denture base material was investigated. Glass transition temperature of filled acrylic resins was studied using the dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA). The temperature sweeps were performed with tension mode. Thermogravimetry analysis (TGA) was used to examine effect of AgNP concentration and thermocycling (1250, 2500, 5000, and 10000 cycles) on thermal stability of AgNP filled acrylic resin denture base materials. Glass transition temperature (Tg) of the acrylic resins slightly increase with increasing AgNP contents. TGA results indicated that AgNP retarded thermal degradation of acrylic resin denture material, and thermocycling did not affect thermal stability of AgNP filled acrylic resin denture material.

Heat-polymerized  acrylic  resins  is  the  most  used  denture  base  material  in  prosthodontics.  One  of  mechanical properties of acrylic resins is transverse strength. It represents the masticatory pressure that is applied to denture base. Black tea is the second largest consumed beverage in the world. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of black tea beverage on transverse strength of heat-polymerized acrylic resins. A total of 24 heat-polymerized acrylic resin plates (65×10×2,5 mm) were immersed in black tea beverage for 1, 4, and 20 days as treatment group and in aquadest for 1, 4, and 20 days as control group. The transverse strength of  acrylic samples were measured by three–point bending test by universal testing machine. Data were statistically analyzed using Independent t test. The transverse strength values of acrylic resin immersed in black tea beverage had no significant differences to the transverse strength values of acrylic resin immersed in aquadest with similar immersion time (p>0,05). There was no effect of black tea beverage on transverse strength of heat-polymerized acrylic resins. Immersion time decrease the transverse strength of heat-polymerized acrylic resins due to water sorption. Keywords: Heat-polymerized acrylic resins, black tea, transverse strength

ABSTRACT Objective : To evaluate the surface roughness of two makes of autopolymerized acrylic resin (Classic Dencor® and Duralay®) with two different methods of finishing and polishing (conventional and using the Dhpro® finishing & polishing kit). Methods : A total of 20 specimens (10 of each make) was obtained using Zetalabor®--Zhermak condensation silicone molds. After polymerization, 20 blocks of resin were divided in two and subjected to two types of finishing and polishing, one at each end. The types of finishing and polishing were as follows: conventional (lathe) and using the Dhpro® finishing & polishing kit. Once finished and polished, the specimens were subjected to surface roughness testing using a roughness meter and were analyzed via the Student’s t-test. Results : There is a statistically significant difference between the forms of polishing, unrelated to the brand of acrylic resin. Conventional polishing achieved a level of 0.12 µm for both resins and the DhPro® polishing presented roughness a little above 0.2 µm. Conclusion : Conventional polishing is superior to the DhPro® kit, as it achieves lower levels of roughness. There is no significant difference between the acrylic resins in terms of surface roughness after the finishing and polishing processes.
