Impact strength of denture base and reline acrylic resins subjected to long-term water immersion

Abstract: Water may influence the mechanical properties of the acrylic resins. Thus, the effect of water storage on the impact strength (IS) of one denture base (Lucitone 550 - L) and four reline resins (Tokuyama Rebase II - T; UfiGel Hard - U; Kooliner - K; New Truliner - NT) was evaluated. Bars of L were made (60 x 6 x 2 mm) and relined (2 mm) with T, U, K, NT and L. Intact specimens of each material (60 x 6 x 4 mm) were also fabricated for comparative purposes. Specimens were submitted to Charpy impact tests without … Show more

“…However, for the reline resin T bulk specimens, thermocycling resulted in significantly lower IS. Although one could argue that the reduced IS of T for the thermocycled group was due to the effect of water absorption alone and that thermocycling may not be a factor, it has been observed that storage in water at 37°C for up to 6 months did not affect the IS of reline resin T. 21 In addition, Archadian et al 5 also observed that thermocycling led to a decrease in the flexural strength of the reline polymer-only specimens. These results suggest that for some materials, besides the plasticizing effect of the absorbed water, the increased temperature may also alter their mechanical properties.…”

“…1921 Moreover, the effect of thermal stresses on the IS of denture base and reline resins has not been investigated. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the IS of one denture base acrylic resin and four hard chairside reline resins, tested alone (bulk specimens) or in combination (denture base/reline materials).…”

“…The hard reline material used in this present study has in its composition the plasticizer isobutyl methacrylate, di-n butylphthalate 23 and toluidine ring, which acts as an activator of the chemical reaction of polymerization [24][25] . Although this material has no cross-chain agents, these molecules can fill the voids and, thereby, reduce the water absorption 24 .…”

“…Although this material has no cross-chain agents, these molecules can fill the voids and, thereby, reduce the water absorption 24 . It is possible to hypothesize that the thermally activated materials have a higher degree of polymerization, resulting in larger amount of monomer converted to polymer in relation to the chemically activated, that have higher amounts of residual monomer 14,[24][25] . The amount of residual monomer may adversely affect the mechanical properties, such as hardness and tensile strength [26][27] .…”

“…Should a contacting solution be pigmented, discoloration is also possible during service in the oral environment [2]. The sorption phenomenon is of considerable importance since it results in dimensional changes [3,4], as well as a reduction of flexural strength [5,6], impact strength [7], transverse strength [8] and fatigue life of PMMA [9]. Another problem of PMMA is the presence of surface and subsurface voids which may compromise its physical, aesthetic and hygiene properties [10].…”
