The conversion of monomer to polymer is not complete in denture base resins and residual monomer left can cause mucosal irritation, inflammation, and allergic reactions in tissues adjacent to dentures. The mechanical properties of denture base resins have been found to be lacking with increased residual monomer content. Therefore, it is desirable to reduce the residual monomer content in the processed denture. In the present study Gas chromatography method was used to determine the levels of residual methyl methacrylate monomer of two different brands of heat cure denture base resins processed by two different polymerization cycles. The study concluded that while processing the denture sufficient length of boiling phase should be given and for each brand, manufacturer’s instructions should be strictly followed while selecting polymerization cycle.

The presence of Residual monomer content in processed dentures is not desirable. Different methods are used for reducing the residual monomer content after processing. In the present study the effects of two post cure treatments (water immersion and additional curing cycle) on the residual monomer content of two commonly used denture base resins (Acralyn H and Trevalon Hi) were evaluated by using gas chromatography. Study concluded that both water immersion for one day at room temperature and additional curing cycle reduced the residual monomer content in both brands which was initially high after processing.

(1) Background: This study investigated the influence of Bis-GMA, TEGDMA, UDMA, and two different polyethylene glycol (PEG)-containing, UDMO-based co-monomers on the Young’s modulus and flexural strength, degree of methacrylate C=C double bond conversion and residual monomer elution of experimental dental resins. (2) Methods: Urethane methacrylate-based monomer was synthesised via a radical chain growth polymerization mechanism using PEG in order to improve the mechanical properties. Dental resins were formulated using Bis-GMA, UDMA, or UDMO as base monomers combined with TEGDMA as a dilution monomer and DMAEM + CQ as the photo-initiator system. Degree of conversion (DC), mechanical properties, and residual monomer content of light-activated methacrylate resin formulations were evaluated and statistically analysed by ANOVA and a Tukey’s test. (3) Results: PEG-containing UDMO resins had lower Young’s modulus and elastic strength than UDMA-derived resin for all irradiation times. The highest DC (67,418%) was observed for the PEG-containing UDMO-based resin formulation when light cured for 40 s. For all samples, DC increased with the photo-polymerization time. The amount of residual monomer decreased after increasing the light-curing period from 20 to 40 s, resin with UDMO content 0.01 mol of PEG having the smallest amount of free eluted monomer. (4) Conclusions: A strong structure–property relationship exists in photo-cured dimethacrylate-based dental resins. The time and quantity of the photochemical initiation system can influence the physical–mechanical properties of the resins but also the monomers in their composition.

Background/Aim. Polymethyl methacrylate is used for producing a denture basis. It is a material made by the polymerization process of methyl methacrylate. Despite of the polymerization type, there is a certain amount of free methyl methacrylate (residual monomer) incorporated in the denture, which can cause irritation of the oral mucosa. The aim of this study was to determine the amount of residual monomer in four different denture base acrylic resins by liquid chromatography and the possibility of its reduction. Methods. After the polymerization, a postpolymerization treatment was performed in three different ways: in boiling water for thirty minutes, with 500 W microwaves for three minutes and in steam bath at 22? C for one to thirty days. Results. The obtained results showed that the amount of residual monomer is significantly higher in cold polymerizing acrylates (9.1-11%). The amount of residual monomer after hot polymerization was in the tolerance range (0.59- 0.86%). Conclusion. The obtained results denote a low content of residual monomer in the samples which have undergone postpolymerization treatment. A lower percent of residual monomer is established in samples undergone a hot polymerization.

Acrylic resin is a denture base material mostly used in the fabrication of removable partial denture and complete denture because it is easy to process, economical and aesthetically satisfying. However, the acrylic resin has a weakness i.e. residual monomer content which causes cytotoxic effect to human cells. Nano-silica coating could be used on the acrylic resin to reduce residual monomer content. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of nano-silica coating concentration on the cytotoxicity of acrylic resin denture base material. Twenty-four acrylic resin disc-shaped specimens (5 mm in diameter and 2 mm in thickness) were divided into 4 groups (n=6), i.e. control, group with application of 0.5%,1%, and 2% nano silica coating. The specimens on the silica coating groups were silica coated using dip-coating method. After the coating was completed, the specimens were added into cell fibroblast culture (vero cell line). Cytotoxicity testswere done by MTT assay. The optical density was measured using ELISA plate reader to determine the percentage of cell viability. The highest mean of cell viability was shown in 0.5% concentration (96.78 ± 1.71) and the lowest mean was shown in the control group (80.32 ± 6.53). One-way ANOVA showed that there were significant differences among these groups. LSD tests showed that there was significant difference among all of the groups. This study concluded that nano silica coating concentration has a significant effect on the cytotoxicity of acrylic resin denture base materials.

This study assessed the effect of copolymerization on the microbiota of the oral cavity. The plant extraction was converted into aromatic derivatives, which were added to methyl methacrylate monomer. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy spectra showed no negative effects of these additives on the polymerization process. All the assayed derivatives displayed some degree of antibacterial activity.

Introdução: A tecnologia CAD/CAM possui múltiplas aplicações protéticas, incluindo a prótese total. Objetivos: realizar uma revisão de literatura sobre a aplicabilidade dos sistemas CAD/CAM na fabricação de próteses totais, a fim de elucidar as propriedades das próteses confeccionadas através dessa tecnologia e as características desse sistema. Metodologia: A busca por artigos científicos que contemplassem o tema foi realizada através das bases de dados PUBMED e SCIELO, sem restrição de período. Foi feita a análise dos títulos e resumos e em seguida o acesso ao texto completo. Resultados: Dentre as características do sistema CAD/CAM, os estudos citaram menor necessidade de consultas e tempo clínico. É preciso conhecimento da tecnologia pelo cirurgião-dentista e o maior custo laboratorial é uma das desvantagens de sua utilização. Quanto às propriedades, observa-se a redução da rugosidade e porosidade, assim como da adesão de Candida albicans à base da prótese e teor de monômero residual. Maior dureza de superfície é verificada em comparação com as próteses totais convencionais. Conclusão: Menor número de consultas e tempo clínico são características do uso do sistema CAD/CAM em prótese total. Maior dureza da prótese e redução da rugosidade, porosidade, adesão de C. albicanse do teor de monômero residual são propriedades que as próteses totais apresentam quando confeccionadas por essa tecnologia.Descritores: Odontologia; Prótese Total; Projeto Auxiliado por Computador.ReferênciasAlbero A, Pacual A, Camps I, Grau-Benitez M.
