Effect of Silver Nano-particles on Tensile Strength of Acrylic Resins

Abstract: Background and aims. Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is widely used for the fabrication of removable prostheses. Silver nano-particles (AgNps) have been added to PMMA because of their antimicrobial properties, but their effect on the mechanical properties of PMMA is unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of AgNps on the tensile strength of PMMA.Materials and methods. For this study, 12 specimens were prepared and divided into two groups. Group 1 included PMMA without AgNps and group 2 inc… Show more

“…Group 1 comprised PMMA without NAg, whereas group 2 comprised PMMA mixed with 5 wt% NAg. The mean tensile strength of PMMA in group 2 was considerably lower than that in group 1, indicating that the incorporation of NAg resulted in a significant decrease in tensile strength [9].…”

“…Due to those drawbacks and with the purpose of enhancing the properties of acrylic resin, debris of materials can be introduced to the liquid or powder of acrylic resin and polymeriz 5 . As an instance, incorporating silver materials 6 , alumina and an oxide ceramic [7][8][9] has been used. Silver is a metallic with excessive conductivity, its antimicrobial properties have been mentioned in several studies whilst delivered to the denture base inside the form of nanoparticles 10,11 .…”
