Summary Background/Aim: Relining is defined as the procedure used to resurface the tissue side of a denture with new base material, thus producing an accurate adaptation is provided at the denture foundation area. During mastication, relined dentures have to withstand masticatory forces to prevent fracture. The aim of this study was to evaluate the flexural strength of acrylic resin denture base relined with different methods and materials. Material and Methods: Fourteen experimental groups and one control group were determined to consider different reline materials and processing methods. Acrylic resin specimens were prepared with the dimensions of 65× 10× 1.5 mm and reline materials (1.5 mm thickness) were placed on acrylic resins. Reline material was not used in control group specimens. Flexural strength values of relined and control specimens were measured with three-point bending test at a speed of 5 mm/min. Data were analyzed with using one way Anova and Student t tests. Results: The highest flexural strength values were shown in control group (86.51±1.08 MPa). There were significant differences among relined specimens (p< 0.05). For the relined specimens, the highest flexural strength values were found in the relined specimens with denture base material (77.90±1.93 MPa), and the lowest values were found in relined with autopolymerize acrylic material (59.81±1.50 MPa). Conclusions: Relining of the heat cure denture base material significantly decreases the flexural strength for all processing methods and materials.

Abstract The flexural strength of heat cure acrylic resin was investigated by adding different concentrations of TiO2 and ZrO2 nanoparticles to increase its mechanical properties. ZrO2 and TiO2 nanoparticles were added at 1, 3, and 5% concentrations to the powder portion of heat polymerized acrylic resins. A total of 49 samples were prepared in 65 × 10 × 3 mm size. The structural characterisations of all experimental groups were determined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Flexural strength of the resin specimens was evaluated with a three-point bending test in a universal test machine and then examined under by scanning electron microscope to assess its topographic characteristics. The highest flexural strength value was obtained for 3% TiO2, while the lowest values were obtained for 1% and 5% TiO2. 1% ZrO2 and 3% TiO2 groups showed statistically higher flexural strength values than the control group. Addition of 3% and 5% ZrO2 and 1% and 5% TiO2 showed statistically lower flexural strength than the control group.

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.

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

This study is aimed at evaluating the hybrid reinforcement effects of zirconium oxide nanoparticles (nano-ZrO2) and glass fibers (GFs) at different ratios on the flexural and impact strengths of a polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) denture base. A total of 160 specimens were fabricated from heat-polymerized acrylic resins using the water bath technique. For the control group, the specimens did not receive any additions; for the test group, different concentrations of nano-ZrO2/GFs at 5% of the PMMA polymer were added. The concentrations of nano-ZrO2/GFs were as follows: 5%–0%, 4%–1%, 3%–2%, 2.5%–2.5%, 2%–3%, 1%–4%, and 0%–5%. The flexural strength was measured using the three-point bending test. The impact strength was measured using the Charpy impact test. Results were tabulated and analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the Tukey–Kramer multiple comparison test (p≤0.05). The flexural and impact strengths of PMMA-nano-ZrO2 + GF composites were significantly improved when compared with those of pure PMMA (p<0.05). The maximum flexural strength (94.05 ± 6.95 MPa) and impact strength (3.89 ± 0.46 kJ/m2) were obtained with PMMA (2.5%)/nano-ZrO2 + 2.5% GF mixtures and could be used for removable prosthesis fabrication.

The aim of this work was to evaluate the flexural strength and surface hardness of heat-cured Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) modified by the addition of ZrO2 nanoparticles, TiO2 nanoparticles, and E-glass fibre at different wt.% concentrations. Specimens were fabricated and separated into four groups (n = 10) to measure both flexural strength and surface hardness. Group C was the control group. The specimens in the remaining three groups differed according to the ratio of filler to weight of PMMA resin (1.5%, 3%, 5%, and 7%). A three-point bending test was performed to determine the flexural strength, while the surface hardness was measured using the Vickers hardness. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) was employed to observe the fractured surface of the specimens. The flexural strength was significantly improved in the groups filled with 3 wt.% ZrO2 and 5 and 7 wt.% E-glass fibre in comparison to Group C. All the groups displayed a significantly higher surface hardness than Group C, with the exception of the 1.5% TiO2 and 1.5% ZrO2 groups. The optimal filler concentrations to enhance the flexural strength of PMMA resin were between 3–5% ZrO2, 1.5% TiO2, and 3–7% E-glass fibre. Furthermore, for all composites, a filler concentration of 3 wt.% and above would significantly improve hardness.

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.

Many attempts have been made enhancing properties of PMMA denture base material. Adding fillers to PMMA was a commonly used method to improve physical and mechanical properties. To estimate the effects of incorporating recycled polymethylmethacrylate with a different percentage with conventional heat-cured acrylic resin on some properties of heat-cured denture base resin. The recycled polymethylmethacrylate (Chaini-HK G) particles dissolved at (5%,10%,15%) was added to heat-cured polymethylmethacrylate (Spofadental, Czech Republic) polymer and mixed with a ratio of 2:1 with the polymethylmethacrylate monomer. A total number of specimens were 80, which divided into three experimental groups (5%, 10%, 15%) and control group. Each group have 20specimens. The surface hardness, water sorption, solubility and residual monomer of test groups measured as well as compared to that of control groups. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy test (FTIR) was done for three experimental and control group. This study shows a statistically significant difference at (p<0.01) in the hardness of recycled polymethylmethacrylate incorporate material (10 %,15%) groups when compared with a control group; while recycled polymethylmethacrylate incorporated (5%) group show no significant difference, group with 15% shows the highest Vickers hardness value. The mean values of water sorption test solubility test and residual monomer were decreased with the increase of incorporating a percentage of recycled polymethylmethacrylate as compared to the mean value of the control group. The incorporation of recycled polymethylmethacrylate to heat acrylic resin at different percentage improves some of its properties.

Denture stomatitis is a multifactorial pathological condition of the oral mucosa that affects up to 72% of denture wearers. It is commonly seen on the palatal mucosa and characterized by erythema on the oral mucosa that are in contact with the denture surface. The aim of this study was to incorporate 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) and dimethylaminohexadecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM) into a high impact polymethylmethacrylate heat-cured denture base acrylic resin as a potential treatment for denture stomatitis. We used a comparative study design to examine the effect of incorporating MPC as a protein repellent agent and DMAHDM as an antifungal agent to prevent the adherence of Candida albicans to the denture base material. The dual incorporation of MPC and DMAHDM reduced C. albicans biofilm colony-forming unit by two orders of magnitude when compared to the control group devoid of the bioactive agents. Although the addition of MPC and DMAHDM alone or in combination significantly reduced the flexural strength of the material, they showed reduced roughness values when compared to control groups. This new denture acrylic resin provides the benefit of enhancing C. albicans biofilm elimination through dual mechanisms of action, which could potentially reduce the prevalence of denture stomatitis.

ABSTRACT Aim The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the flexural strength of commercially available acrylic (trevalone) and modified polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). Materials and methods Four groups were tested; Group 1— control group regular MMA, group 2—2% methacrylic acid, 88% MMA, group 3—16% methacrylic acid, 84% MMA group 4— 20% methacrylic acid, 80% MMA 15 resin specimens of each group were polymerized. After processing, the specimens were subjected for flexural strength testing using three point bending test in a Universal Testing Machine. All data was statistically analyzed with one-way ANOVA, differences within the groups were analyzed by Scheffe's analysis. Results As the ratio of incorporated methacrylic acid to PMMA increased, the flexural strength decreased. Analysis of data revealed a significant decrease in flexural strength of specimens (p < 0.000) after incorporation of 12%, 16%, 20% methacrylic acid to heat polymerized acrylic resin, when compared with the control group. Lowest flexural strength was observed with specimens containing 20% methacrylic acid and highest flexural strength was observed with specimens containing conventional monomer without methacrylic acid. Conclusion It was observed that as the concentration of methacrylic acid in heat polymerized acrylic resin increases, the flexural strength decreases. Lowest flexural strength was observed with specimens containing 20% methacrylic acid and highest flexural strength was observed with specimens containing conventional monomer without methacrylic acid. Clinical significance The major advantages of addition of methacrylic acid to polymethylmethacrylate could be for the elderly people with restricted manual dexterity or cognitive disturbances, especially for patients who do not follow an adequate denture cleansing protocol and diabetic patients who are more susceptible for denture stomatitis.
