Abstract:Objective: Evaluate the "SHORE A" hardness in four denture soft lining materials at different time intervals. Material and Methods: Forty disc-shaped specimens, with dimensions of 15 mm × 3 mm, were distributed into four groups according to the materials: SC (Soft Confort); TS (Trusoft); UG (Ufi Gel P) and DS (Dentusoft) (n=10). The hardness measurements were performed using a portable digital hardness meter at 1 hour (h), 3 days (d), 7 d, 15 d, 30 and 60 d after preparation of specimens. The data were subject… Show more
