Removable partial or complete dentures exposed to beverages and mouthwashes: evaluation of microhardness and roughness Descritores: Prótese dentária; base de prótese; resina acrílica; enxaguantes bucais. AbstractPurpose: To evaluate microhardness and roughness of denture base polymethylmethacrylate resinn exposed to acid beverages and mouthwashes. Material and method: Rectangular samples (n=80) were prepared from poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). They were divided into 8 groups and had the initial microhardness and Knoop roughness measured. Samples of each group were immersed for 10 min into a test solution (coffee, lemon juice, chlorhexidine gluconate, red wine, cola-based soft drink, vinegar or antiseptic with and without alcohol) and after stored in artificial saliva for 23 h and 50 min, completing a period of 24 h. This procedure was performed for 14 consecutive days and after this period the microhardness and surface roughness measurements were made again. Data were statistically analyzed using ANOVA non parametric, Kruskal-Walis and the Dunn´s test for microhardness and the t-Student and ANOVA for roughness. Result: For microhardness there were found statistically significant differences among the chlorhexidine gluconate solution, antiseptic without alcohol and cola-based soft drink. For roughness was observed that the mean values between the initial period and after immersion in the test products differed statistically in all groups, without difference among groups. Conclusion: The microhardness of poly(methyl methacrylate) was affected by continue exposition to chlorhexidine gluconate, antiseptic without alcohol and cola-based soft drink. The roughness of poly(methyl methacrylate) is negatively influenced by the exposure to all tested products. It may be concluded that both, microhardness and roughness, were affected by the treatments.

Evaluation of the maladaptation of the test base in acrylic resin regarding the technique of preparation, place of measurement and storage time

“…However, this work presented lower results than the studies of Dixon et al 20 and García-Lopez et al 15 who verified the effect of the storage of their parts in water, with a better adaptation, due to the recovery of the polymerization contraction due to the sorption of water by the acrylic resin 21 , in addition to lower residual monomer release 22,23 .…”

Pengaruh lama perendaman plat resin akrilik dalam ekstrak sereh wangi (cymbopogon nardus)

“…12 Selain harga yang mahal larutan pembersih seperti chlorhexidine juga dapat mempengaruhi porusitas dari permukaan resin akrilik, sehingga dibutuhkan alternatif lain sebagai larutan pembersih gigi tiruan. 13 Indonesia merupakan salah satu negara penghasil bahan alam terbesar didunia. Hal ini dapat dilihat dari total eksport bahan alam Indonesia dipasar dunia yang mencapai 21,06%.…”

“…Kemudian sampel direndam sesuai dengan kelompok larutan perendamnya selama 10 menit, dilanjutkan dengan perendaman dalam saliva buatan 23 jam, kemudian larutan direndam kembali dalam larutan selama 50 menit (24 jam). 16 Prosedur perendaman tersebut dilakukan sebagai simulasi keadaan dalam rongga mulut. Proses perendaman dilakukan selama tujuh hari berturut-turut, setelah selesai kekasaran permukaan sampel diukur kembali untuk mendapatkan data post-test.…”
