Abstract:The surface of heat-cured acrylic resin on the base of artificial teeth has a risk of surface roughness. Its causes are liquid absorption and chemical processes. Fluid absorption can be affected by immersion in denture cleaners containing sodium bicarbonate. This study aims to determine the effect of a denture cleanser containing 48% sodium bicarbonate on changes in heat-cured acrylic resin's roughness. This study used 16 specimens of heat-cured acrylic resin (brand Meliodent) and was square in size of 10x10x2… Show more
