Statement of problem The rough surface of denture base materials may cause plaque
accumulation and staining. Thus, the effectiveness of polishing techniques should be …

The trend toward an aging population in the highly developed countries of the world has the
demand for innovative biomedical devices and tools at record levels. The products desired …

Objective The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of mechanical polishing (MP)
and chemical polishing (CP) on the average surface roughness (Ra) of heat-cured (HC) and …

Objective: This study evaluated the surface roughness (Ra) and color stability of acrylic resin
colors (Lucitone 550, QC‐20 and Vipi‐Wave) used for fabricating bases for complete …

The ability of Candida albicans to form biofilms on denture surfaces is a significant cofactor
in the pathogenesis of denture stomatitis. In this study, we applied a differential staining …

Smooth polished surface of dental prostheses is important to prevent bacterial colonization
and plaque accumulation. The acrylic base of prosthodontic appliances needs to be …

This study evaluated the effect of disinfection methods [chemical disinfection (immersion in
100 ppm chloride solution) or microwave disinfection (690 W for 6 min)] on the internal …

Background Lately, computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM)
has broadly been successfully employed in dentistry. The CAD/CAM systems have recently …

Purpose Acrylic resin properties are susceptible to change over the duration of use, thereby
decreasing prosthesis longevity. To make the material less susceptible to the action of …

Objective To evaluate the effect of staining beverages (coffee, orange juice, and red wine)
on the Vickers hardness and surface roughness of the base (BL) and enamel (EL) layers of …
