Abstract

Background/Aims

The study aimed to assess the surface characteristics of sports mouthguards under mechanical stresses during cleaning, either by brushing or immersion in disinfectant solutions.

Material and Methods

Ethylene-vinyl acetate samples, 4 mm thick, were randomly assigned to cleaning methods: control (C—no cleaning), brushing with water (B.W), brushing with neutral liquid soap (B.S), brushing with toothpaste (B.T), immersion in distilled water for 10 min (I.W), immersion in 2.25% sodium hypochlorite solution for 10 min (I.SH), and immersion in sodium bicarbonate solution for 5 min (I.SB). All cleaning methods were applied for 28 days. Surface roughness average (Ra) and wettability were measured at baseline for the control group (n = 9), and after cleaning for all the other groups.

Results

One-way ANOVA with Tukey tests (5% significance) indicated significant differences among groups (p < .05). The I.SB group had higher surface roughness than B.S and B.T (p < .05). B.W showed the lowest wettability, significantly lower than B.T, I.W, and I.SB (p < .05). I.SB exhibited the highest wettability, significantly different from sodium hypochlorite, neutral liquid soap, brushing with water, and control groups (p < .05). The sodium bicarbonate immersion group (I.SB) demonstrated greater statistical variation, displaying higher susceptibility to aging compared to brushing with neutral liquid soap.

Conclusion

Cleaning mouthguards with a toothbrush, water, and neutral liquid soap emerged as the most promising method, causing minimal surface changes in the material.

延长护齿的使用寿命：表面处理对防止因刷牙和接触消毒剂而老化的影响。

背景/目的：本研究旨在评估运动护齿在刷洗或浸泡在消毒剂溶液中进行清洁时，在机械应力作用下的表面特性：将厚度为 4 毫米的乙烯-醋酸乙烯酯样品随机分配到不同的清洁方法中：对照组（C-不清洁）、用水刷洗（B.W）、用中性肥皂液刷洗（B.S）、用牙膏刷洗（B.T）、在蒸馏水中浸泡 10 分钟（I.W）、在 2.25% 次氯酸钠溶液中浸泡 10 分钟（I.SH）以及在碳酸氢钠溶液中浸泡 5 分钟（I.SB）。所有清洁方法均持续 28 天。对照组（n = 9）在基线时测量表面粗糙度平均值（Ra）和润湿性，所有其他组在清洗后测量表面粗糙度平均值（Ra）和润湿性：结果：单因素方差分析和 Tukey 检验（显著性为 5%）表明，各组之间存在显著差异（p 结论：用牙刷清洁护齿时，各组之间存在显著差异：用牙刷、水和中性皂液清洁护齿是最有效的方法，对材料表面的改变最小。
