Abstract
Purpose: The present study evaluated the contact angles (CAs) of four denture base materials subjected to different surface treatments using deionized water and saliva substitutes.
Material and methods: A total of 32 rectangular specimens were manufactured using four different denture base materials: heat-cured compression molded Lucitone 199 (C), milled Lucitone 199 (M), Formlabs Denture Base RP (P), and SR Ivocap High Impact (I). The CA of the surface of the unaltered, mechanically polished, and sandblasted surface specimens was evaluated after the application of five saliva substitutes: Biotene, VEGA, Spry, Moi-Stir, Dentilube, and ionized water. Ten droplet measurements were obtained for each group, with each droplet analyzed for advancing contact angle (ACA), receding contact angle (RCA), and the contact angle hysteresis (CAH) was calculated. The data of the experiment was analyzed using 2-way ANOVA, (α = 0.05) with Tukey's test.
Results: CAH was demonstrated to have statistically significant differences among the denture bases (p < 0.05), with unaltered 3D printed exhibiting the largest CAH, followed by unaltered milled. The unaltered denture bases exhibited higher CAH than the polished, and there were no significant differences in CAH among the polished denture bases (p > 0.05). Sandblasting increased the ACA of the milled and conventional bases. The saliva substitutes exhibited differences in ACA, with Spry and VEGA having the highest ACA, and Biotene had the lowest CA of all the saliva substitutes evaluated.
Conclusion: The manufacturing methods of denture bases influences the CAH, while the chemical composition of the denture base specimens does not appear to affect CAH. Sandblasting increases the ACA for the milled and conventional groups. Saliva substitutes do impact the ACA. Drawing from previous research, it is hypothesized that a 3D-printed denture base or sandblasting a milled denture base may offer greater resistance to dislodgement.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Prosthodontics promotes the advanced study and practice of prosthodontics, implant, esthetic, and reconstructive dentistry. It is the official journal of the American College of Prosthodontists, the American Dental Association-recognized voice of the Specialty of Prosthodontics. The journal publishes evidence-based original scientific articles presenting information that is relevant and useful to prosthodontists. Additionally, it publishes reports of innovative techniques, new instructional methodologies, and instructive clinical reports with an interdisciplinary flair. The journal is particularly focused on promoting the study and use of cutting-edge technology and positioning prosthodontists as the early-adopters of new technology in the dental community.
