Abstract
Statement of problem
The effect of gastric acid on the surface properties of denture base acrylic resin
is unknown.
Purpose
The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate changes in the surface roughness
and hardness of denture base acrylic resins after immersion in simulated gastric acid.
Material and methods
Acrylic resin specimens (n=10) were prepared with 3 different processing techniques
(compression-molded, injection-molded, and computer-aided design and computer-aided
manufacturing [CAD-CAM] milled) and exposed to either gastric acid or artificial saliva
(control). Surface roughness and hardness were measured at baseline (T0) and after
24-hour (T24) and 96-hour (T96) immersion in the solutions. The surface roughness
and hardness data were analyzed by 3-way ANOVA and the Tukey HSD test (α=.05).
Results
At T24, the greatest change in surface hardness was observed for compression-molded
specimens in gastric acid (P<.05). At T96, changes in hardness values were higher in compression-molded specimens
than those in milled specimens (P<.05). Regarding surface roughness, at T24, compression-molded and injection-molded
specimens showed higher values than milled specimens in gastric acid (P<.05). Concerning specimens in artificial saliva, compression-molded specimens showed
significantly higher changes in roughness than those of the others (P<.05). At T96, injection-molded specimens had the greatest roughness values (P<.05). Among specimens immersed in artificial saliva, milled specimens showed lower
roughness values than the injection-molded or compression-molded specimens (P<.05).
Conclusions
Gastric acid exposure adversely affected the roughness and hardness of all the acrylic
resins evaluated. CAD-CAM milled specimens showed better resistance to acid exposure
after 24 and 96 hours in terms of roughness and hardness.
