Influence of mouthwashes on the physical properties of orthodontic acrylic resin

Abstract: Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of acrylic resin immersion in different mouthwashes on hardness, roughness and color. Methods: Specimens of an orthodontic selfcured acrylic resin (Orto Clas ®) were produced and immersed in five mouthwashes: Plax ® Classic (Colgate ®); Plax ® alcohol-free (Colgate ®); Listerine ® (Johnson & Johnson ®); Periogard ® (Colgate ®) and Periogard ® alcohol-free (Colgate ®). Nine different immersion times were studied:

“…In this way, we could observe the effects of disinfectants even with a short period of contact in an acrylic resin with increased roughness at baseline. In contrast to previous research, 33 the disinfectant solutions composed solely of alcohol and distilled water used as control did not modify the comparison of roughness before and after the contact. However, Birex and Cavicide, the two solutions that contained more components, such as quaternary ammonium compounds, acids, and anionic surfactants, influenced the roughness of the self-curing acrylic resins.…”

“…It seems probable the conventional glass-ionomer cements would be similarly affected. The reason for this effect is not clear as the pH of Plax is pH 7.00 ± 0.04 [26], so any effect is not due to etching by an acidic composition. There seem to be a component in mouthwash formulations, possibly ethanol, that enhances the initial uptake of fluoride ion from solution, and this may also be responsible for reducing the hardness of the cement surface.…”

“…Immersion in disinfectant solutions may increase surface roughness 15,16 , increasing microorganisms' adhesion, biofilm formation, and associated diseases 1,5,7 . The increase of surface roughness leads to the further difficulty of biofilm removal, as it adheres to the rough surface and penetrates through porosities, facilitating the survival of microorganisms against regular hygiene methods 27 .…”

“…However, they may decrease resins microhardness, flexural strength, and increase the surface roughness [12][13][14] . Commercial mouthwashes such as those disinfectants composed by alcohols, sodium hydroxide, and sodium benzoate, and those without alcohol but compose by chlorhexidine digluconate, cetylpiridinium chloride, phosphoric acid, and sodium benzoate were also previously tested in acrylic resins and negatively affected microhardness and surface roughness 15,16 . In this context, disinfectant solutions that do not compromise physical properties and surface texture of acrylic resins are necessary to reduce the biofilm formation 17 .…”
